Customer Review Summary
Cooked breakfast is the draw most reviewers return to, with the all day breakfasts called fantastic and a simple egg on toast described as lovely. Close behind is the coffee, with a flat white that arrived well made and hot, a mocha singled out for praise, and fresh juice and a milkshake also mentioned. Lunch gets credit too, and one diner enjoyed a roast dinner. Reviewers describe the food as fresh, well prepared and good value, and one notes the large menu stretches even to dinner. Staff come up nearly as often as the food, described as friendly, polite, quick and welcoming, with a family-run feel, and several say they look after their customers. A number of reviewers are regulars who stop in whenever they are in the area, and one has been eating here for decades. Others mention clean surroundings and working bathrooms. One group says the staff let them store their bikes round the back during lunch.

“Top notch food, very friendly service even when very busy. Made aware about a long wait, which was understandable due to the place being absolutely packed, yet still got my takeaway sandwiches within 10 minutes. Been in here quite a few times now and it has always been a great experience with excellent food and proper sausages, a rarity with a lot of cafes. The phone signal in Stansted abbots is very patchy and I would advise brining cash, sometimes this can lead to card machine problems but the staff are very accommodating either way, but there is a free cash machine basically next door at coop anyway.”

“Had a lovely breakfast here this morning. Everything was cooked perfectly and served nice and hot. The portion sizes were spot on and it was exactly what I needed to start the day. I especially enjoyed the classic HP sauce on the table to top it all off. It is a great spot to grab a bite in Stanstead Abbotts. I will definitely be coming back again soon.”
