With funky decor and a laid-back vibe, this spot offers a diverse menu and plenty of games for a fun, casual hangout.
i came here with a friend for a catchup and a coffee and the staff were absolute angels. first off they took my order (i have a gluten allergy) at the bar and even got a manager to ensure it went through properly. they brought our food over and it was lovely! i have eaten at the lounges many times in different locations and they are always SO on it with allergies from my experience. we got a GF cheesecake to share and they again got a manager to put it through the till for me. after we ate we decided to try and do a puzzle (they have games and books available!) and due to time constraint we couldnt finish it and so i asked if i could buy it off them! without hesitation the manager said i could keep it. i had such a good day here, they are so attentive and sweet. i dont know their names but it was a lovely lady with a moomin tattoo, a girl in a pink shirt w a scottish accent and a really chill dude wearing all black w a beard. thank you!!!!🤍

A cozy spot for tea and coffee lovers, known for its superbly crafted cakes and a welcoming vibe that keeps everyone coming back.
It's always a pleasure to visit Halseys. A wide range of teas/coffees and freshly cooked food. I definitely recommend the cheesy bubble & squeak and the toasties. Superb cakes. Cater for gluten-free. The staff are always lovely and keep you informed if anything is unavailable òr there's a time delay - they are very popular!

Hermitage Rd Espresso Bar
Gluten-free options
20-21 Hermitage Rd, Hitchin SG5 1BT, UK
Quaint spot with charming decor, a lively vibe, and a tempting display of sweet treats that keeps customers coming back for more.
In a very popular road, right in the middle we found this nice coffee shop. Amazing decoration and furniture. Nice atmosphere and services. Lots of young persons at the other side of the counter and not very quick service. Nice display for sweet cakes and a big blackboard for bagels and prices on the wall. Cakes went well during my visit I saw how they disappeared. Everything cost a bit more than other coffee shops but is good to have plant based milk and gluten free options.
