Best Cafe / Restaurant in St Albans

Family-run for over a decade

Welcome to Street Cafe in St Albans

Street Cafe is a family-run cafe in St Albans. We opened over a decade ago with one idea: a place where locals could eat really well, drink great coffee, and feel at home.

This month’s themed night in St Albans

Paella Night

Three courses · only £30pp

A proper Spanish feast with chicken & chorizo, seafood or vegetarian, paired with cocktails, wine and an atmosphere you won’t find anywhere else on the high street. They sell out fast.

Final 2026 date: Fri 27th Nov
