On our last day of our holiday in England, we decided to try and find a cafe that served up a tasty…read moreEnglish breakfast. On our hunt, the Hardware Cafe came up and we decided to give it a try and were not disappointed! The only negative thing was that my stomach could not accommodate the entire contents of the dish! Coming from an American that has had many Full Englishes after having married a Brit, just try the Hardware Cafe!

I was excited to come here for breakfast after hearing many good things…read more Firstly the decor is adorable and they really have created a nice environment to sit in. It's very cosy and comfortable, with lots of shabby chic furnishings. The music selection seemed a bit eclectic - Robbie Williams' 'Rudebox' was blaring out when we first got there, which seemed like an odd choice for little old Tring on a Sunday morning. The breakfast menu is simple but covers all the basics, with both sweet (waffles, pancakes) and savoury (eggs/full English) options. I went for poached eggs with bacon & avocado while the other 2 chose pancakes and waffles. The food and drinks were all lovely and prices very reasonable. I've marked down because of 2 things: the wait for food and the service. The food took nearly 40 minutes, which seems an awful long time for 3 simple breakfasts! The service was friendly but very non-attentive - we had to call the waitress over whenever we wanted anything, including to order our food and drinks. There also wasn't enough cutlery on the table when the food arrived and we had to ask for it twice, which was a pain given the already long wait on the food. A really lovely setting and good ideas with the food and drink, but there seem to be a few teething problems which need ironing out.

If you're on a trip to Ashridge and don't take a picnic, then this is where you'll be eating and…read moredrinking. It's a nice comfortable outdoor but sheltered setting which is popular with ramblers, riders and dog walkers who frequent the area. There is quite a lot of choice here, hot and cold food and if the weather is good then there's also a BBQ running. It's not cheap, but you don't have much choice as this is the only cafe unless you fancy a drive/long walk to a local gastropub but that's not to say you won't get value for money as the food was well prepared. Queues are long, it took me 20 minutes to order my food but that was a peak time Sunday lunch time. I don't recommend any of the cakes, we tried slices of brownie and carrot cake and although baked and prepared in a home-made manner I've tasted much better from a supermarket. £1 for a can of coke is a bit pricey though (the nearby Ice Cream vendor is forbid from selling drinks), if you can take a cool box of drinks and sweets then grabbing a bite to eat here won't seem to expensive.

This is the cafe of the Ashridge Estate, National Trust. On busy days there are queues for service…read moreas there is only one ordering point, although an effort has been made to alleviate this problem by operating and outdoor burger cooking unit. All seating is outdoors although some of it has partial shelter. It is a pleasant environment surrounded by an attractive park-like estate. The staff work hard and were friendly and polite. The quality of the food was good, I had a sandwich and a scone. I did not try the hot food. Not cheap but not more than other similar places. The menu is snacks and light meals in the main. It would be nice if everything you order were brought together rather than hot drinks and sweet items being provided before a savoury item has been delivered.

Whoop Der It is! First to Review! That's right y'all.... Hop on that tube and get on over to Roots!…read moreThey have great WiFi too! Roots is a super cute and modern coffee shop located in the city center of Chesham. While there are a few chain coffee shops in the area, I highly discourage you going there. The quality of coffee and service is just not the same as what you'll get here. Delicious latte and Almond Croissants, served by a gorgeous, tatted English guy. They need to make sure he works 7 days a week so we can catch him at work. Just sayin :-) I was here for both the caffeine fix and eye candy. Still not sure which was priority. Their selection of pastries is impressive, and left me a bit torn on having to choose just one item. You'll also notice that the plants inside are for purchase. I visited Roots on two separate occasions while staying with a friend in the area. They were very busy on the Saturday morning for breakfast. A lot of foot traffic, with families, and elderly couples. Pretty sure I stood out like a "hot guy from California" in the village, but oh well. OR the only Asian guy in town. This is a typical coffee shop you would find in San Francisco or Los Angeles. I'd totally camp out here with my laptop during my days off work if it was just a bit closer to home. Seating is mostly at the tables, but there is also a little lounge area with a large soft. Hint: If you sit here, you can stare at the gorgeous man behind the counter (perfectly normal bahavior). I wonder if they'll deliver a latte to Los Angeles.....

When we first moved to Chesham. We always look for a decent coffee shop. The coffee is great and…read morethe food is always good. It is a little on the expensive side but you pay for what you get. The vibe is chill and they sell other extras like plants. Fully recommend going to Roots rather than one of the larger "those who will not be named" franchises. Whenever we go past there is always a buzz there. Whether that is a small group going in for lunch and some coffee or the individual person on their MacBook, clearly choosing to work in the comfort of Roots with good coffee close by. The outside seating is always a win on a hot day, especially paired with an iced coffee or tea.
