This is a lovely place.
First things first - it isn't a cafe, it's a place you go to for a drink and some kind of cake. Don't come here expecting to find lunch.
The staff are very efficient, pleasant and helpful.
The drinks cover the normal range. The hot drinks are well made and served, they have some cold ones too.
...but cake is what this place is really about. They are exceptional. You'll normally have a choice of around half a dozen "regular favourites" and the same "specials of the day". The portion sizes are excellent (but not entirely diet friendly).
The cost is reasonable, the value is excellent. It's going to cost you a bit under £5 per person for a hot drink and a piece of cake.
The location is extremely peaceful. The decor is interesting and varied. There's an art gallery / studio each side which are well worth a look. There is a range of different types of seating.
You can sit outside, but it's a total suntrap, with no shade available.
It's slightly hard to find, partly because the entrance to the complex tends to hide the sign, so it's easy to drive past. It's at the rear of the first cluster of barns you encounter when you are entering Datchworth on the road from Mardley Hill. If you see a fishing lake on your left, you've gone too far.
Absolutely loads of space in the car park.
They do have a good, clean toilet, but finding it is less easy. Ask the staff for directions.
Extremely good afternoon tea with lovely fresh sandwiches and rolls. Delicious scones, cream, jam and lots of cakes. The friendly staff will even box up anything you can't eat. I have to say there was so much we three couldn't eat it all. Love the vintage atmosphere. Deserves to do well. There were some amazing cakes on the counter if you just want to pop in for tea/coffee and cake. Well worth a visit. You won't be disappointed.
Just had a fantastic takeaway afternoon tea for my birthday. Delicious and so much of it, also the best gluten free afternoon tea we have found and we have tried lots.
