Dower House Coffee — Restaurant in Dacorum

Visited Dower House Coffee today with my boyfriend for our anniversary for the first time and was not disappointed! Will definitely be looking to return in the future. We had a caramel brownie, almond croissant and hot chocolates and I honestly couldn't fault them whatsoever, the brownie that I had was especially yummy. They also had milk alternatives for those who need it.

The building itself is really cute and I like the way that the cafe is split into different rooms so there is a good amount of seating indoors and outdoors. The space is also decorated very nicely and I like the aesthetic. The staff are very polite and friendly which made our experience today even better too. I can see there are a couple of negative reviews on here but I would not be put off. The staff I encountered today are very helpful and would be willing to accommodate additional needs where possible (such as access) and we really should be supporting small businesses such as this whenever we can.

Keep up the amazing...

Last week we told the Dower house that there would be 8-10 of us there on Thursday morning for coffee and almond croissants. Their reply was,’we only order 3 almond croissants a day’. When we arrived there was no table organised for us. We each ordered a drink and pastry. The almond and plain croissants were hard and stale. The order came in drums and drabs over an hour as they carried on serving at the counter. The drinks and food were mixed up. It was a mess! Surely a decent order of 8 people must be worth putting in a bit of effort! We all live locally. We have lots of choices in the town-and they know it! We will be going elsewhere from now on. What a pity as we always choose independents...

Being an Australian and coming from Melbourne it is hard to find good quality coffee, but this place has not disappointed.

I’ve tried iced and hot coffee’s and both have been amazing. I’m not local, but I wish I was because this coffee beats the pants of anything you find in London.

I will say the service, although good could be more attentive to outside. A couple of times I have sat outside for 45 minutes to an hour, thinking about another coffee and no one has come to the table to clear the empty glass or ask if I would like...
