Pretty nice Costa. Usually mega busy inside, but outside you…read moremight be able to snag a seat. There are pretty much always seats. There are some magical stairs at the back, leading up to seating if you fancy the journey. Staff are friendly, if busy, sometimes a little flirty. But good people, and they are only human so maybe cut them some slack if they take a while- it can get pretty busy and people can get VERY rude. Smoking is available on their outdoor seating, always nice to do them a favour and bring in your cup if they're mega busy- they do struggle with getting everything clean sometimes. Outdoor seating is important. The FRONT facing the howard centre, is covered. The SIDE is not. Be warned. Do not be fooled. The only consistency with British weather is its inconsistency, TAKE COVER. But yeah, nice enough Costa, probably the best place to get coffee in Welwyn for a decent price!

A nice sized Costa coffee, situated on the corner, not far outside of the Howard Centre. When the…read moreweather is warm, thy put some tables outside, which be a nice place to sit (although the view of the road is not great!!) They are generally pretty quick with managing queues (which can get long) so you aren't usually waiting too long to order your drinks. It can be tricky fiding a clean table sometimes when it is busy but the staff are generally pretty quick at clearing the tables regularly so this is not too much of a problem.

The inner parts of the space are dimly lit and the outer tables along the extended opening offer more light and a view to watch the bustling scenes in the terminal. As it's conveniently located in the arrivals hall, they are open 24 hours. Didn't try the coffee, but there was enough time to sit and enjoy hot chocolate, which was served in tall glasses rather than mugs, which I found interesting. I ordered a seasonal hot chocolate, which tasted good. Though it was a convenient place to go to, we observed a bit of attitude from the staff as well as a major leak over a couch/lounge section (which they sectioned off) during our visit.

Nice coffee in the center of this very cute little british town,…read more The center is very intimate, bricks, small houses, churches, cathedral, little decorations and shops, soo typical. Walking there on a rainy day (a regular day I should say), I was looking for a place to coffee-wifi-work my day. Went to starbucks first, that is the kind of place you are sure of, to check if it was busy. And because it was not, I went to check this place: cafe Nero. Huge chain, they are all over the city. The feeling was quite different than starbucks. Way more homey, cosy, with chairs, arms chairs, seats everywhere, a better vibe, free wifi also, and same selection of food available. After waiting a little to get everything served because of rush hour time I suppose, got my things and went upstairs to set up shop. Wifi access is simple, views of the street, enough space, quiet. Everything you need to work a few hours. Recommend it over Starbucks if in the area.

Same goes for their cups; they look like they came straight out of a charity shop. Cute, but a bit kitsch. The staff were friendly and welcoming. It was full up whilst we were there, and a bit loud. Many tables had children. As for our drinks, my mocha was good but ordinary. Not particularly hot, but drinkable. My husband's hot chocolate was a bit too cool for him; he wasn't very happy. We will likely be back to try their food, but might stick with tea.

The cafe in Thorntons is quite small at the back of the shop but is always really busy. I like…read moregoing there but if I am on my own it can be difficult to find a table as whilst you are queueing for your drink other people come in and save tables. They do a reasonable choice of sandwiches, crisps etc. They also serve soup and have a good selection of some very tasty (and fattening) cakes. They do a lovely rich creamy hot chocolate and I particularly like their iced chocolate! Their drinks and food are quite pricey but nice. On the way out try walking past the shelves of chocolate and not buying some!

The service was super-fast and the prices standard/reasonable. The staff were really friendly and helpful; we realised we were running out of time so they swapped our drink-in cups to takeaway cups. The drinks themselves were literally gorgeous. We ordered two mochas, which were done in a few minutes, and they were honestly the best mocha i've ever had- and I LOVE a Mocha. It was mega creamy with just the right mix of coffee and chocolate, particularly impressive considering it was the end of the day! Would definitely visit here again and recommend the mochas!

It's not right in the centre with most of the shops so it's not all crowded outside but is it still easy to find. This cafe offers excellent value for money, and a wide range of different foods for what you fancy. being a cheaply priced place with good quality food, sometimes it can be very busy and the layout of the cafe is quite small so you have to be careful walking through the tables not to knock someone's lunch off.
