I was thrilled to see this new independent cafe open in north Watford. The decor is great - quirky and inviting. The coffee and pastries both delicious and the owner of friendly and so enthusiastic about sharing his Turkish cuisine. (But he is absolutely not intrusive) It’s a great place for a catch up with friends, is open long hours which is so handy and we should always support independent businesses! I can highly recommend the baklava and Turkish apple pastries (made on the premises) Also the toilet is very clean !

Brilliant new spot! Gok, the owner, was so friendly and passionate about Turkish cuisine. Turkish tea was so good and Pide and salad were just as food is supposed to be - simple, fresh and delicious. Highly recommend, and we will be back many times!

Such a lovely and cosy cafe and a great addition to St Albans Rd. I had the Avocado with Sumac, Olive Oil and Greens and absolutely loved it. The chocolate croissant was also very tasty. Flavours were so perfectly balanced I will need to go back soon and have it again. Everything seems very reasonably priced. Owner was super friendly to talk to and the atmosphere is very inviting. Lots of books and toys for young kids making it a great family friendly spot. Update: visited again and tried the rainbow smoothie and banana peanut butter shake. Tasted very good. Drinks took a little longer to arrive than had hoped but taste was great and staff were super friendly.

Lovely little cafe, had many drink and food options. I went in for a drink and chose the banana and Peanut butter milkshake, it was the perfect drink for a warm day. The atmosphere inside the cafe was perfect, with the some really nice decor. However the service for two drinks did take a while, but it was worth the wait.

We really enjoyed having brunch/lunch here, a fab addition to St Albans Rd. All food is freshly prepared and incredibly tasty. There's a real attention to detail when it comes to produce, the dough used for the bases of the pide was made in napoli and the honey served with the nuts was delicious. There were lots of dips to try which were homemade. The owner is friendly without being overbearing and he's passionate about what he does, you can tell lots of love goes into creating the dishes. The coffee is also really nice and good quality. My children approved of the pastries and they got gifted some fresh fruit kebabs which they really enjoyed. The prices are also really reasonable and portion sizes are very generous. We'll definitely be back soon and would recommend to anyone passing by
