The Living Room - St Albans

I have visited this restaurant several times and the food is excellent. However, the service can be inconsistent. On one occasion, we had to wait 15 minutes to place our order while others who arrived after us were served immediately.

My husband and I decided to have lunch at this restaurant based on the positive reviews, but it turned out to be a big mistake. Despite the seemingly ample staff, no one came to take our orders and my husband had to flag down a waiter for help. My glass of rose was served unchilled and lacking in flavor, so I had to add ice cubes from my water glass to make it more palatable. My lunch order was mediocre at best, and my companion only ate half of her meal. The restaurant was quite busy, so perhaps we were just unlucky.

One of the best if not the best cafe in St Ives. Conveniently located at the main entrance to St Ives shopping village the Living Room offers indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor area is excellent for larger groups or coffee after gym. Service is top notch and if you become a regular they basically have your order ready soon free arriving. Great menu, licensed. My go to is the raw salmon poke bowl. Totally delicious!!!!

Gradually working our way through the various cafes in the centre and this the next one. Well as the title says coffee and a delicious slice of frangipane with a custard filling very nice , coffee as is, prompt courteous service very good. Try it out.

Absolutely the best breakfast in St Ives. The coffee is always fab, and the corn fritters are my favourite. No where else in the world does them better! Service is always friendly, and I always have to have a vanilla slice to take away as they are truly delicious.
