I only have one complaint about Monty's, and that is that it closes too early on week nights. We regularly pop in on the weekend when we visit the park. But on week nights when we pop in for swimming lessons, the cafe is usually closed... At 5pm. But there are still people in the restaurant area. Surely those people could do with a coffee or a hot chocolate?! Seems like it closes an hour too early.

Ok to use after the gym if I can't be stretched to go to Cafe Nero, a lazy option. Coffee good, sausage roll also good. My main criticism is charging an extra 60p for an oat cappuccino. The only other café I've come across in Harpenden that charges more - 30p - is Café Neeo. Oat milk costs the same when purchased unless you're getting the over-priced and no different quality-wise ordinary oat so 60p extra? No! That's a con frankly and it puts me off using the café.

Nice coffee and pain au chocolat and very understanding when my spaniel decided to run in and have a look around!

Great place for when you are waiting for the kids to have their swimming lessons.Kid-friendliness: Very.

Everything is overpriced, with a rubbish selection of sandwiches, poor hot food menu - they never have any of the vegetarian/ vegan options on their menu available. If you don't fancy pizza or old shrivelled sausages there's nothing here for you. It's such a waste of a great location - sadly so many things wrong with this place.

Lovely bright cafe, delicious food options - but the staff just don?t clean it, at all?! Arrived around 1pm and all of the tables and floor were filthy: crumbs, mud, toddler food absolutely everywhere. I asked the guy if he could please wipe the table I wanted to sit at: he did; but he didn?t wipe any of the other tables and every single one was SO dirty and covered in bits of old food. Can?t describe how much the floor would have benefitted from a two minute sweep. It just seems that cleaning isn?t on anyone?s job description?? Such a shame as it?s lovely here otherwise.

Not great. Coffee often not hot and very little variety of food. Also very expensive

It?s overpriced but the food is very good. But they need to have protein shakes as well as protein bars, as the former option are better for digestion and absorption of protein after a workout
