Best coffee shop in Hertfordshire!
Super cool working space if you need to get away from working from home.

perfect place for you go in the afternoon and do your quality time, work or find greats drinks

Nice little place, handy for a coffee and cake during a bike ride, seating inside for cooler or rainy days but my preferred option it one of the benches scattered outside. Nice place to bring children as it has a massive central green and playing fields out the back with a nice woodland walk and a virtually traffic free perimeter round around the green for youngsters on bikes or scooters.

The atmosphere in here is great BIG open rooms in a vintage building with subtle modern decor, beautifully made coffee with a good customer service and a quick but pleasant chat while my latte and cake were prepared for me to devour I had chosen the apple and cinnamon loaf cake and a ice big slice of chocolate brownie neither disappointed and were topped off with a beautiful latte.

Excellent coffee, welcoming atmosphere. Best place for a caffeinated beverage or cake in the area.

I hear the staff is voluntary. They are young, smiling, offering great service and professional.
I enjoyed sitting outside in the summer, reading a book on a sunny day, and sipping my caramel latte away.
I visited again recently, and the atmosphere inside the place is just as cosy. And the coffee with a heart design from a kind lady was a nice artistic surprise to receive. :)

Everything about this place is beautiful, not only the location but also the buildings and the work that it's carried out at YWAM Harpenden. The Oval Café is no exception, it's a very cosy environment, the service it's excellent and everything that is sold at this place has a distinctive seal... Love. I couldn't recommend this place enough ❤️

Love this quirky, warm and friendly cafe at the heart of an important international initiative and community. I meet a friend here occasionally and the coffee is excellent, the staff polite and friendly and interior clean and tasteful. Well worth the journey away from the chain companies.
