I visited The Terrace Park Cafe & Kitchen for the first time at 3:00 PM on a Tuesday. Unsurprisingly, it wasn't very busy at that hour. There were six people outside and two inside. I ordered a cappuccino, priced at £3.20. The coffee was good, neither sour nor bitter. The milk wasn't too hot, indicating they didn't burn the coffee. Overall, I couldn't find anything to criticize. I haven't tried the food yet, but I plan to during my next visit. I'm curious to see how they handle a larger volume of orders when it's busier. The place itself is nice, offering both shade and sunlight, with pleasant views. It looks like it might become a popular spot in our town.

I love this caffe. So much to chose from, nice view of the park, atmosphere and staff. I love the fact they have some trolleys with toys so my 2 yrs old daughter can play while i am enjoying food. My favourite is vegan sourdough cinnamon bun, spinach and ricotta ravioli. My boyfriend goes for breakfast bun and even i do not eat meat, it looks really good. Made me to go for vegetrian option Really recommend it!

Visited today for lunch with a friend. Lovely atmosphere and decor. We sat outside on the terrace in the shade and had pasta salads! Both delicious. Amazing addition to the park and glad to see the owners of the smoke BBQ restaurant expanding!

Stortford’s hidden Gem! Second time visiting the cafe now. This time for brunch with friends. They have so much more to offer now. Looks like they’ve added different food and drink. We had the focaccia with mushrooms and it was to delicious! Staff super friendly and can’t do enough for you. Great views and atmosphere & doggy friendly! Will definitely be returning soon! Amazing!
