Gokula Vegetarian Cafe

Tired of the chain coffee shops down Watford High Street, or in the Intu shopping centre? Walk a little further away from the gaudy commercialism and find your way to Market Street. A warm welcome, attentive service and a decent cup of (organic) coffee. You can even sit outside and take in the ambience of an unimproved street.

Tucked away on Market Street, Watford's "Alternative" High Street, this veggie community-feel cafe has become an institution. I used to be a regular, but the atmosphere isn't quite the same as it was. The service with a smile doesn't seem to be there, after several more recent visits. The food (vegetarian and vegan) is as good as ever - quirky Hari Krishna meets western fast-food, with plenty of choice. And the coffee's good and very reasonably priced. It's still a good place to eat, drink coffee and read or chill. A year ago it'd have received the full five stars from me, but it's currently a bit short of exceptional - but don't let that put you off!

a real Berkelr California vegan cafe in Watford. what a find, what a gem, great food and great energy. The Vegan English breakfast hit the spot and the buckwheat pancakes with Mediterranean vegetables was very creative and delicious. Great place, you will not be disappointed, they even have a meditative quiet room, and give free vegetarian meals to the needy once a week. Please support their endeavors.
