Emilys Tea Shop - North Hertfordshire

This place was uncomfortable. Crumpets on sale at an extortionate price and not very appealing cakes. Crammed full of shouting male cyclists (Stevenage Cycle Club) who wouldn't sit down and tramped about the place as if they owned it making it seem even smaller than it already was. Very young staff seemed unable to cope, service very slow. Appalling hot chocolate which had a load of dry chocolate clogged at bottom of mug which had never mixed with the milk as no-one had bothered to stir any of it when making it. 3 tiny marshmallows. No teaspoon given for tea either. Not keen to revisit.

A beautiful cafe in the countryside, the finest tea and tea cakes and the best service. Thanks to Peter, Tanisha, Katie W and Bo the cat for a pleasant and entertaining visit.

Peter warmly welcomed our large group of walkers for coffee, cake, and scones after our walk in Whitwell. There were 28 of us and despite the size of our group, Peter provided excellent service. The cafe was small but cozy, and Peter efficiently served us all. The cakes and scones were delicious, and we will definitely return and recommend this cafe to others.

Stopped for a well earned coffee and flapjack. Friendly welcoming pit stop. Thanks for the offer of help and loan of the track pump to fix a puncture. Great place to stop if you’re out and about in the area.

Delightful little tea shop with delicious cake selection and tasty coffee. Very welcoming staff. Indoor and outdoor seating, and even dog friendly indoor seating which was great. Would highly recommend
