This is my favourite place for coffee. Today we tried their new breakfast menu. The full English was incredible and the way they do beans… ingenious. But! The chia seed pancakes were the best and my daughter struggled to give me a bite as they were so good.

First time at Faire At 190, looking for somewhere to sit with a coffee and socialise our new 12 week old puppy Jasper to high street sounds and people. What a pleasure this turned out to be. Lovely coffee for us and ice cubes for Jasper and Rose my Hearing Dog. I made the staff aware I was deaf and so needed to lip read - which they took on board with respect ( unlike some places who think shouting or talking really slowly with magically mean I can hear them! So thank you for that. It was a lovely coffee too, not bitter like some. Although we didn’t eat anything this time the food that others were ordering looked lovely. T Thank you again

I had the jerk chicken open faced sandwich, carrot cake and a coffee. Everything was better than I expected. I thought it was fabulous and the food really well balanced and thoughtful. We will come back. Photo of an empty plate because we ate it all!

Lovely new cafe to Berkhamsted. Food is delicious, fresh and offers a great selection of sweet treats. I had the chai pancakes with bacon & banana. Great atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

Coffee is nice and strong, and very creamy, suspect that blue lid is the standard which I applaud. We tried the toasted banana bread, salmon and scrambled egg and the bacon banana and maple syrup chia seed pancakes.. reviews below: Toasted banana bread: Rich, toasted yet centre moist accompanied with Greek yogurt and blueberries. The mint on top really added something and so my critique is that there weren’t more sprigs.. add some additional sprigs to the empty part of the plate please as it really elevated it. Scrambled egg with smoked salmon: Was very nice. Salmon was generous but could have done with a little more egg. Chia seed pancakes with banana and maple, paired with the green juice: my wife described this as “absolute delicious perfection”! The chia seeds added more depth to the classic American pancake and the bacon, fatty and slightly crisp. Lots of banana and maple to compliment. Because we can’t put 4.5, we will give a 5.

Lovely decor and layout. Excellent, cheery service and good conversation. Brilliant breakfast food: my favourite is the black pudding dish, although most recently I had a bacon sandwich which was superb. Good coffee, excellent juice. The ‘orange’ juice - a homemade mix of apple, carrot and ginger - is very well balanced and an absolute treat.

What a lovely little find! Perfect food for a big post gym workout. We had poached eggs on gluten free bread (THE BEST IVE EVER HAD) mushrooms on sourdough, mushrooms were our favourite. The gluten bread is from a local bakery and we went straight after to buy (Neno Bakery) on Berkhamsted High street. We also had a delicious mixed cold roasted salad to share. Top notch oat milk flat whites too! We’ll be back next time with the doggo too! Thanks guys
