Amazing place! I…read moremust admit, I usually only go for their milkshakes, but they are the best milkshakes you will find, they really are. It is conveniently located in the middle of the Westgate Centre, so very handy for a break whilst you are out shopping. Staff are always very friendly and helpful, and have always been wonderful with my daughter when we go there.

THey do a loyalty card to collect towards free drinks and my children love their milk shakes and hot chocolate. THe staff are exceptionally friendly.

I will continue going here at least once a week, for the coffee and the selection of free newspapers and magazines.

But the best bit about this place is their cafe. It is quite small, and very popular so there is often a queue for a seat. However, it is well worth the wait. Their hot meat sandwiches are to die for, and at around £3.50 won't break the bank. They are served with a side salad and homestyle crisps, so it is like a proper meal. I also love their posh ceese on toast, which is melted Brie, on thick slices of breadyummy. Even their coffees are great. The inside is decorated in a retro style, ice cream colours and there is even a cute bunting around the doors. The best cafe in Hitchin by far.

But what makes it unique is that it specialies in local produce and will actually buy stock from locals (grown in allottments or gardens) for sale in the shop - what a fantastic concept and very much in line with the spirit of the age. The window displays are particularly mouth-watering and truly enticing, the staff very friendly and the produce always of the highest quality. It's not cheap but what it sells is well worth paying the extra for.
