This has to be the Most wonderful place to come for a Flat white and delicious food. Its such a sunny lovely place and the staff make a real effort to make you feel at home and relaxed. The service is second to non, the quality of the food is amazing and all freshly made produce. All the cakes are home-made by Kate and Sophia and fresh on the day and they even have locally sourced ice-cream which is pretty special( very generous with the helpings!)
If you haven't been already go and visit this very special cafe in the park! .....ps. i recommend the Tuna and apple sandwich!
I had just finished a walk around the area and was in dire need of caffine..The cafe was a perfect place to stop. Lovely cup of coffee and very pleasant cafe assistant. .even told me of something else to find around the area that wasn't on the route I was following. When I go back to Barnet, I shall certainly come back here!
Lovely food friendly staff would recommend
Today was my friend Shirley retirement party at the cafe 18 hungry nurses we had a Caribbean inspired theme WOW the food was amazing jerk chicken spicy fresh salmon ,rice,fantastic salads, chocolate brownie bread and butter pudding with home made coconut ice cream sublime service was fantastic nothing was to much trouble for the staff fun was had by all l
A lovely cafe with friendly staff, perfect for having a cup of tea and cake whilst watching my two children bounce on the bouncy castle. We have also enjoyed special events over the years like the pony rides, Christmas fair and ice skating and outdoor cinema.
The cafe is fab - great food and drink - especially the hot chocolate and the courthouse club sandwich. The staff are great and the decor is beautiful. Bravo - a real asset for Barnet and just what the area needs - an absolute gem. We're going to come as much as possible!
Love my bi-monthly pilgrimage here! Staff are the friendliest. Pastries are fresh. Coffee is top notch.
No better place in or around High Barnet (maybe even the world)!
Such a lovely place on our door step, it just became our favourite for weekend breakfast/brunch. We'll be back!! :))
Very friendly atmosphere and gluten free options for every meal. A pleasure to visit.
Love to spent time where with kids and brilliant coffee!!
Amazing coffee, delicious cakes and friendly staff, all in a lovely park. What more could you want? Worth a visit.
5 stars + amazing staff, food place - just fabulous ☕
Great coffee. Dogs allowed and gluten free soups and sandwiches!
Fabulous place and wonderful friendly staff.
Great cafe , lovely food and friendly staff.
So glad I found this gem of a place. Brilliant outdoor cafe space for taking children. My toddler loved all the ride-on toys that are available to customers and we could sit down and enjoy the great coffee & cake (without constantly running around after him). Will be back.
Came yesterday with my toddler and 5 year old. They had lots of fun playing with the toys and sandpit. It’s a wonderful place to go with young children and enjoy a coffee or bite to eat. My daughter liked the ice cream.
I do think it’s unfair that people expect to be able to bring in their own meals. You wouldn’t turn up at any other restaurant or cafe with outside food and sit and their tables and eat it! If your child has allergies and needs to eat special food then be reasonable and buy something from the cafe for yourself. This is a business and a cafe. There’s a playground and seats outside this cafe area in the main park if you want to eat your own food.
We are regulars here and so happy to have such a place close by! Lovely enclosed outdoor space for children with lots of toys, and books & colouring inside. My son (now 3) has been coming for over a year and loves it. The sandwiches and cake are delicious too!
Small family place. Kids friendly. I bit smaller than i expected, but food is tasty and people are nice🙂
Fab place to come, great food highly recommend the tuna and apple toasted sandwich! The cakes are delicious too. My 2 year old loves playing in the sandpit and on the ride ons. Great staff and facilities.
I come here regularly with my 2 year old and it’s my favourite local spot. Great toys and activities for toddlers, lovely food and drink and friendly staff. I also bring my Labrador and there is always a water bowl available for her.
I have a 16 month old and we spend a lot of time here, he absolutely loves the garden and all the cars they have in it! Food is tasty and staff are friendly! Happy and grateful to spend many hours of our week here! Thank you!
It’s been under various owners last few years but the most recent is brilliant. They mainly sell sweet savoury food (croissant, muffin, cakes , biscuits) and sandwiches - but the quality is really high. Coffee is delicious and there is plenty for the kids to do outside - including a sandpit and kids camping tent!
Our favourite place in Barnet. A real community cafe kind owners and staff going above and beyond for the young families who visit. Delicious food for both children and adults.
Great place to get a bite to eat and let the kids play outside especially when the weather is nice. I really like their sandwiches and getting to enjoy some coffee while my kids have fun playing in the sandbox and with other toys they have by their picnic tables. The staff is lovely. This place is best for younger kids but we still stop by sometimes if my kids get hungry after playing at the Courthouse Playground that's near the café.
Lovely cookies and cakes and a whole range of children's cars and bikes etc as well as a sand pit. Perfect for toddlers!
Great place to take young kids with a large safe play area with lots of toys, sand pit, cars.
There could be slightly more seating with shade for the summer months.
Great cafe with lovely service. Great coffee, and they even had a cake my celiac daughter could eat.
What a fantastic hidden gem. We had my sons 3rd Birthday party here on Saturday and Jen did everything she could to make it run smoothly. It was the perfect space, set up so beautifully and the food and presentation were fantastic. All of our guests commented on how delicious the food and coffee was too! Added extra was the sandpit and ride on toys!
We are regulars at the cafe as my toddler absolutely loves it. This made it an easy decision to host my toddler's birthday party there. The owner was very attentive and accommodating throughout the planning process with regards to the food selction and bouncy castle hire, as well as on the day itself. Everyone enjoyed the party thoroughly, and I was very pleased with the setup and food for both adults and children. I highly recommend The Old Courthouse Cafe. We'll definitely be coming back.
Lovely cosy cafe with lots of playing areas for kids, cafe has a new owner now and the lady has done it so nice, supporting local business. I felt very welcome. The coffee was amazing, we also tried an almond croissant, banana loaf and cute little raspberry bake, all were delicious and fresh. You can borrow kids cars, toys for free, that is so nice. There is a sandpit for playing, definitely a paradise if you have a kid.
