47 Hatfield Road · St Albans · Mediterranean kitchen

Morning, you.

Good coffee, a proper breakfast and fresh Mediterranean cooking, without the fuss or the price tag. Everything’s made when you order it — eat in or take away, Tuesday to Sunday, 8 till 5.

One small kitchen, the whole Mediterranean. From the spiced dunes of Morocco to the succulent home cooking of Türkiye and the trattoria staples of Italy — the coast’s best ideas, cooked fresh in the heart of St Albans.

What to expect

A neighbourhood favourite since 2012.

The food

All-day breakfasts, fresh sandwiches and jackets, alongside a menu that wanders the Mediterranean — cumin-spiced Moroccan eggs, homemade lasagne, creamy Tuscan chicken. Cooked to order at honest prices — never sitting under a heat lamp.

The place

Small, warm and spotless. Order at the counter, take a seat and we’ll bring it over — or take it away if you’re short on time. A good spot to settle in with a coffee and watch Hatfield Road go by.

The welcome

Independent and family-run — Nino himself is usually behind the counter. Come as you are: suits, work boots, buggies and laptops are all equally at home. Regulars get remembered.
