Great coffee blend, friendly service and a very clever, homely set up. Real home made snacks, recommended by the locals. Do you need much more on a relaxing weekend?

I visited the playground with my kids and decided to buy a latter. It was exemptionly delicious, one of the nicest coffees I've had for a while. Only £2.50, friendly service and he seemed to have a good array of snacks, though I didn't have any on this visit.

Pav has the best coffee in Stortford and, of course, lovely homemade cakes and cookies. He is always friendly and has a small chat with you. Dogs are welcome, and there are free dog biscuits. Whenever we are walking past, we stop for a break and a coffee under the gazebo. Iced coffee in the summer! Highly recommended.

Brilliant coffee stop by the children's play park. Pav the owner is very friendly. Locally sourced coffee beans, a variety of non-dairy milk alternatives and homemade bakes. Definitely the best and most reasonably priced coffee in town!
