Ardens

Seriously, this is probably the best coffee/​tea/​snack place I have ever been to. Granted, I am comparing my experiences mostly with coffee/​tea shops in USA (that’s where I live) and few other coffee shops I have been to in UK.
Arden’s is actually very close to two other coffee shops — costa coffee and rocking horse and also very close to the supermarket waitrose. I like costa coffee, don’t mistake me — but the place is just so crowded, you have to wait in queue anytime you get there and I don’t like it that much. In fact, that’s how I found this gem of coffee place, which is tucked in at the end of the talisman square shopping area.
Arden’s is also quite spacious and they have more tables upstairs as well. First time I went there I tried their hot chocolate and after two trips I am still addicted to that one. It’s just delightful. I had to force my will upon trying something else. Although, the flat white was very good drink as well. But my favorite is hot chocolate.
Also their homemade cheese scones. I am very familiar with this one in USA as well — in the southern parts of USA they call it biscuits (I know — what’s biscuit in UK is known as cookies in USA). scones are served with butter.
They also have paninis, rolls and sandwiches, if you are hungry for something savory.
And their customer service is definitely top notch. Very attentive, patient and helpful. Isn’t it all one could ask for from a business?
During my many upcoming stays in Kenilworth, I will keep going back here to spend my weekend afternoons sipping tea and coffees.
5 stars.
