Harris Hoole - Watford

Having noticed the huge sign on the side of Tesco I realised as I entered here that I had never turned eyes right as I walked into the Superstore. Additionally I naively presumed as a non-coffee drinker that this was just another Coffee Joint. But it offers so much more and with comfy sofas too. The hog roast sausage roll was just what I fancied snacking on, heated to perfection and served by polite Staff. A good choice too of other savoury delights and drinks. Most pleasing for a quick rest stop whilst Xmas consumering.

Have been here quite a few times since it opened and found the staff working here pleasant and friendly. Today was no exception. I accidentally broke a cup and their response was both professional and considerate (e.g. a young man . I was very impressed. Thanks, Harris and Hoole ...... and sorry! Despite being in a busy shop, I generally find the cafe quite a relaxing place to stop for a while. And it's a good place to visit when shopping in Tesco, though mind you don't exceed the permitted parking time! I had a vegetarian flatbread, which was tasty, though a little hot/spicy. I would have it again. A wider choice of vegetarian food would be appreciated, if anyone's considering what to offer in future. (There have been different things available in the past here. I also had rooibos (redbush tea, which I enjoyed without milk.

Further review! The service has improved although still they don't seem to have enough staff working and waiting for coffees can take quite a while. The quality of drinks is superb and the atmosphere is relaxing, this is by far my favourite coffee shop in Watford, the staff are always friendly and cheerful which must be difficult at times as this branch can get very busy. The hot food is lovely especially the flatbreads and sausage rolls on offer, these are not cheap but exceptional quality and will fill you up. You see many customers eating food here this is due to the quality, compared with other coffee shops. Personally I wouldn't buy the cakes on show as they are not shielded and often seen customers talking directly over them, a few times even noticed customers sneeze over the cakes and kids prodding them while waiting to get served. They do need to either put a sheet over them or invest in a protective cabinet. I would highly recommend all hot drinks and hot food but stay away from the cakes until they protect them properly. Also can you please open another branch in the town centre you would do a roaring trade!

Popped in for a quick drink and cake only to be told that they could only serve us if we paid by card as they ran out of change Scone was nice but no cream and jam in a tube Chai latte was so small and at £2.70 expected Bette than the size of a kids cup Tables filthy covered in food left over Never again Don't waste your time going much better coffee shops out there and they have change

I am here in this coffee shop it's terrible service, coffee is horrible I never had a bad coffee like today , never ever come to this place, shame for tesco to have this coffee shop in this nice area
