  “This was a nice and cosy brunch spot here in St. Albans. We were seated and attended to very quickly, and the food came within 10 minutes. Everyone was communicative, and we want to say a special thank you to Harry for servicing us. We ordered the full breakfast, apple juice and latte and it was superb. Mind the beans because it can be quite hot so give it some time to cool down before eating. The sweet potatoes were nicely done, not too hard or soft. We had fried egg that had a runny yolk which was good. The sourdough bread was also good as well alongside the salmon and the avocado. The place is little and cosy but extremely clean with sockets on the benches if you need to charge your phone. They have a selection of desserts like slices of cake and flapjacks. I recommend this place if you’re looking for a good brunch spot, you’ll be well fed.”

  “Popped in here for a quick lunch. Many options considering me and my partner can’t have dairy. Very nice food and very nice coffee. The missus had a juice”

  “Extremely disappointing breakfast: A bowl of slop! We decided to give Café 50nine a try this morning, as we usually go to The Breakfast Club opposite and fancied trying somewhere new. Unfortunately, we were left incredibly disappointed. I ordered the banana cocoa and honey porridge, which arrived looking like an absolute bowl of slop. The oats were clearly undercooked, swimming in milk, with slices of banana practically sinking into the mixture. It looked completely unappetising, and frankly, the fact that anyone thought this was acceptable to serve to a paying customer is beyond me. What disappointed me most wasn't just the quality of the porridge, but the fact that it was allowed to leave the kitchen looking like that. There was seemingly no care or attention given to its preparation or presentation. It completely put me off my breakfast. We had genuinely been looking forward to discovering a new breakfast spot, but this experience certainly hasn't encouraged us to return. If you're considering breakfast here, I would strongly recommend walking across to The Breakfast Club, where the food has consistently been outstanding in our experience. I have attached a picture of the banana, cocoa and honey porridge. The video was far worse, absolutely repulsive.”

  “Had a fantastic breakfast at 59! The food was fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared, with great taste and generous portions. The service was excellent, and a special mention to Deepika, Hari, Manasa for her friendly, attentive, and welcoming service. She made the whole experience even better. Really appreciated her professionalism and positive attitude. Overall, a wonderful breakfast experience — highly recommended!”

  “A really lovely little eatery. Food was fresh and delicious, a nice twist on a full English and the cake selection was great. The exotic juice and red velvet latte are a must-try! We will definitely be back!”

  “A lovely little café tucked away on the corner of Stanhope Road. Small and welcoming, with great service and wonderful food. It’s only about a 7,5 walk there and back for us, and it’s well worth the walk. A great little place to stop, catch up and unwind for a while. They also have some seating outside, which is a nice touch. Everything looks fresh, and the people running the café seem like a really good team with fresh ideas and a genuine passion for what they’re doing. Really enjoyed our visit. Good luck to you guys — I hope you continue to do well. We’ll definitely be stopping by again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

  “Worst customer service I’ve experienced in St Albans, incredibly disappointing - we just tried this cafe for the first time and will definitely not be coming back. They served water and hot drinks in glasses and cups that weren’t washed properly. My friend’s glass had lip stains on it. The bread they use for toast and sandwiches which they advertise as sourdough on the menu didn’t taste great and was obviously not fresh. I ordered my toast with poached eggs, but the eggs were extremely overcooked and the yolk was hard and not even a little bit runny. We raised these issues with the young woman who served us and she looked annoyed we were complaining and didn’t even apologise, just looked at us like we were wasting her time. She charged us full price for the subpar service and food. It is also worth mentioning it took a while to get the bill because her and her colleague were busy passing a water bottle to each other and laughing. Such a shame because the place looked nice from the menu, but our experience was shocking. Best avoid.”

  “Small cozy place. Service is a bit slow but I'm patient. Food was decent, and the homemade baked things were absolutely delicious. It's a decent little place overall.”

  “The place is quite tight inside, and seating accommodates approximately 12 people. It wasn't busy when I attended. Tables were available, but they contained plates and cups from the previous customer's. Given the one-to-one staff-to-customer ratio, I expected they would be available to turn tables much more quickly. Once cleared, I asked again for the table to be wiped down, as milk and grease were left on the surface. The wait time was considerable for the two dishes. One was the Buddha bowl, the other was the breakfast. Flavours and freshnesswere fantastic and the food quality was great. Some of the walls were heavily stained and are in need of a refresh or at least a good wipe down. If you're coming for the food and drink I don't think you'll be disappointed. If you're coming for the atmosphere and decor, I think you will be.”
