Pattison's Patisserie - St Albans

The best coffee I’ve had to date. No mean feat considering I am very particular about coffee. Love the atmosphere, love the cakes, definitely worth a visit.

I visited the restaurant to buy cakes and pastries, but later realized that I had dropped my scarf there. I have called the restaurant three times on different days and times, leaving my contact information and asking them to call me back, but they have never answered the phone. It has been a week since then and I still have not heard from them. I am very disappointed, as I have been a customer there for about 30 years. I will not be returning to this restaurant again, and this experience reflects poorly on the Patterson brand.

I decided to stop by this restaurant for breakfast on a whim while driving past. It was bustling at 9am, with plenty of staff on hand to quickly serve us. They had a diverse selection of pastries and savory toasties to choose from. The seating area was spacious and could accommodate large groups. The atmosphere was cozy and comfortable. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and would definitely return.

New barista is woeful. He is totally unfazed by customers waiting and continues to be slow. After the long wait the coffee is disappointing. My coffee cup is never full. Changing cafes. Have given you lots of chances

I don’t know why I bothered going back to this place. The staff are rude. The barista in particular is extremely aggressive. The way he spoke to customers was so threatening that my wife told me she had to leave me there and would wait for me outside. In hindsight, I should have left as well, the coffee was average quality and the prices were well above anything else in the area. To the barista if you hate your job and the public, perhaps find another career.
