1. Eats and Treats

Rating: 4.5/5

Location: 241 St. Albans Road, Watford WD24 5BQ England

"We have visited a few times recently and have to say you get the warmest welcome every time we visit. The food is homemade and delicious. All of the staff are so friendly. Very well priced also. It’s quickly become our go-to cafe whether for a coffee or something more substantial. The apple turnovers are homemade and to my mind the best in town."

"Stopped in at Bloomsyard for a quick drink and was met by welcoming and knowledgable staff who make some absolutely delicious drinks! I would definitely recommend supporting this independent whilst you’re in Atria. Also the ‘mojitea’ was so tasty, a must try!!! Will definitely be coming back."
