Peer in through a misty window, and find a bit of old fashioned comfort. I often find these tea rooms difficult to judge - as from a modern perspective you're surrounded by clutter and antique crockery of your nan's generation, but the food and drink is where the quality shows, and this particular place doesn't disappoint. Friendly, helpful staff served up one of the best English Breakfasts I've had in ages, along with a decent selection of hot beverages - of which a cafetière-for-two was an unusual, but comforting homely option. Would absolutely recommend you pop in to this little gem - and I'll definitely be back.
We booked in for full afternoon tea with family and had a thoroughly enjoyable visit. The freshly made finger sandwiches were very tasty and the cakes were delicious and all beautifully presented. The scones and clotted cream finished it off beautifully although we did need a doggy box as there was plenty. The friendly staff looked after us beautifully and I would certainly recommend a visit. We have visited before and eaten off the menu and were equally well looked after and enjoyed the food. We will be back soon!!! �
A delightful tea room uniquely decorated for a fabulous afternoon tea. We were welcomed by such friendly and attentive staff who bought out our afternoon tea straight away. We had a variety of sandwiches, a lovely selection of cakes of which were so scrumptious. The best lemon cake we've tasted! Then finished off with warm scones with cream and jam as well as unlimited tea. It was a wonderful visit and we thoroughly enjoyed it. I will definitely visit Molly's Tea Room again for afternoon tea or a slice of one of their tasty cakes!
I Popped in with my little girl for a cream tea! All the tables were reserved so I think it might be best to do so if you would like a table but I was welcomed to sit down as there was some time before they were being used so I guess just popping in anyway is ok too. As you walk in you are just hit with the gorgeous smell of freshly baked cake! I enjoyed a cream tea and it was delicious. The tea is served in a quirky little teapot and adorable tea cups and saucers. They offer an afternoon tea which is bookable 24hours in advance so I really would love to go back and try this. The amount of gorgeous looking cakes and brownies were amazing! I highly recommend a visit here!
I was at a friends baby shower and we hired out the whole tea room. The place was beautiful and so relaxing with lovely oldie music playing in the background. The sandwiches, cakes and scones were delicious. The staff were so attentive and helpful. A truly lovely afternoon. Thank you.
What a lovely tea room. All their cakes are made on the premises & the lunch menu is fab. Such friendly staff.
Lovely little tea room amazing cakes !! All food is lovely and the staff are so friendly. I love this place and go regularly and have taken relatives there for a treat. Would definitely recommend such a pretty like gem very well done Molly's keep it up ☕️
Excellent staff food was lovely. Would definitely recommend and catered to gluten free.
My two daughters and I came in for afternoon tea yesterday and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The service was a little slower than some places but we enjoyed that because it gave us time to catch up and enjoy our tea. Molly was lovely and gave my 14 year another little lemon curd cake because she loves lemon curd. It's little things like that which make a place stand out from the crowd. The price was very reasonable and the atmosphere wonderful. We shall most defiantly be back. Thanks again Molly. Xx
Had my little birthday tea party there yesterday 17th, with my 2 sisters and bestie, table looked lovely when we arrived and teapot and cups all layed out , tea was served when arrived . We then had our sandwiches and cakes on stand , with tea being topped up as we chatted and laughed ,staff took photos for us and chatted . And the when we were fit to burst we were served scones and jam, with clotted cream wow ! Couldn't fault it excellent ��.
I loved it. The scones are to die for. We were a big party and the staff were really accommodating and friendly.
Lovely tea room, lovely staff and lovely food! Was nice to have a cooked breakfast that wasn't swimming in fat.
Lovely Afternoon Tea - so much and all so delicious. Very friendly staff and lovely atmosphere.
Highly recommend �Xx
Thank you Molly's for making my Auntie's suprise 60th so perfect! It was a fantastic afternoon it a beautiful place. You all were great! Couldn't recommend enough!
My happy place! Always feel welcome by the wonderful staff and the cakes are just devine!!
Super kitschy vintage style tea room! I've visited many times in groups, with friends and alone. I love cute the window displays, the atmosphere and gorgeous cakes. I look forward to coming back when possible!
Always loved my visits to Molly’s and was hoping to be taken for my birthday next month. So very sorry to hear you’re closing 💔 All the best and thanks for the tea and splendid cakes over the years.
A one off. In a town heaving with coffee shops (Hitchin) both independent and chain, Molly's is unique. Along with excellent fresh brewed teas and coffees, all the cakes are home made and delicious. But the added extra is the nostalgia! Even we are not old enough to remember the 40s and 50s but this creates a lovely ambience. This is Molly's baby and you feel well looked after. Nero's it isn't!
My wife and I were in Hitchin for just one day. I had to have a scone while in the UK so we popped in to Molly’s for a spot of tea. The scones with clotted cream and jam were lovely as was the tea. The service was nice, everything was served with a smile! Molly’s is a nice local tea room worthy of a visit. If we find ourselves in Hitchin again we will absolutely stop by Molly’s for tea and scones!
Beautiful, traditional little tea room in the heart of Hitchin with a lovely vintage feel. We were treated to an afternoon tea for two after being gifted a voucher and thoroughly enjoyed it. Generous portion and the staff kindly offered to box up leftovers in a takeaway box for us. The scones were soft and warm, the sandwiches were lovely and the cakes gorgeous. The tea was piping hot and came in a lovely teapot. Love the attention to detail here. Such friendly, kind staff too. Thank you!
Came here for afternoon tea. It was lovely! They were very accommodating (as we are quite fussy eaters!) And the food was lovely. Staff were all very friendly. Tea room is quite small but quaint and very relaxed environment.didnt feel rushed at all. Highly recommend
Came for Mother’s Day afternoon tea. Very quick service, with a smile (makes all the difference!) great home made cakes and sandwiches all of which were delicious and moist. My mum and the family really enjoyed it. Thank you!
I booked and afternoon tea for myself and a friend. When we walked in it was busy and had a lovely atmosphere, the staff were really friendly and the food was delicious! I didn't know what I wanted to eat first! Lovely buttery sandwiches and cute tasty cakes. What more can you ask for. Already planning my next visit. Would definitely recommend!
This tea room is brilliant. The staff are very friendly and helpful and it does great coffee and cakes. I must recommend it.
Visited with a friend we had the afternoon tea. Was really lovely, great quaint tea room.
Fantastic afternoon teas (beautiful sandwiches, cakes and scones) delivered to 6 locations for our small team meeting this afternoon as a thankyou to our staff for all their efforts. A fantastic local business providing great service and at a challenging time. Would thoroughly recommend your afternoon tea delivery service for your friends, family and staff teams to show you appreciate them.
Decided to go for a cuppa and a piece of cake - yep, the calorie counting went out the window!
The staff seemed wary of me - cannot think why. I ended up ordering at the counter instead of waiting for the waitress service provided - I wasn't sure whether it was waitress service or not, when I entered the place!
After a few minutes, I was presented with a piece of red velvet cake and a pot of tea, cup and saucer and milk. All quite quaint.
Unfortunately, I did not feel comfortable in there, but I would give the place another go!
Very enjoyable first visit. Lemon and blueberry cake deliciously moist. Pot of perfectly brewed tea made two cups. Sadly, the group I hoped to meet there didn't turn up. Their loss!
Afternoon tea sandwiches were lovely cakes a bit disappointing scones were small it’s ok but I wouldn’t rave about it
We had a lovely lunch at molly's 2 weeks ago the staff were really friendly couldn't do enough for us we even met molly her self love how they have done the tea room up and we even had a top up of tea.would highly recommend.
