Brilliant themed cafe, utilising the old police station infrastructure, seating in the old cells, or the exercise yard and the serving counter is the old charge room counter.
Good staff, and themed named drinks, and some good sandwich options.
Brilliant experience, supporting a very good charity!
Just wow. It’s not often I’m excited by cafes these days but I unexpectedly stumbled across this amazing place. It really hasn’t been changed much at all and it’s like being in an actual police station. Very wierd but mesmerising at the same time! Have a coffee and cake in one of the cells, it’s an experience :) if you enjoy real life murder and crime on tv as I do, this is a real find.the shop next door sells branded clothes from retailers donated for a fraction of the normal price. It’s definitely worth a visit for the novelty factor. The volunteers there are absolutely lovely too. Will definitely be going back with my toddler ❤️
All wonderful people, food, hot and cold drinks, lovely atmosphere sit outside or inside, you can sir in the cells and chat with a snack from the good ladies . And all for a good charity cancer in child and to top it of there's a charity shop with mostly new stuff and theres more upstairs. So go and take a look and have fun. ENJOY XX
Love this place, run by fabulous ladies. So many bargains to be had. Please don't go to the big name shops try this place out you won't be disappointed. And the money goes to a very good cause. And you can always stop and have lunch at the café after.
Brilliant Cafe, such a novel idea - definitely recommend!
We did the Fingerprint Workshop today, which the kids loved.
They had 2 PCSO's there taking actual fingerprints and there was a scavenger hunt, as well as dressing up with props for photos. Lunch was included for the kids and we all ate in one of the cells!
It was really interesting seeing the inside of the old Police Station, I had no idea there were so many holding cells there!
The whole place is brilliantly run by Teens Unite and their volunteers - hope it stays there for a long time to come and I'll definitely be going back soon.
A great place for tea/coffee with friends especially if you indulge in a slice of cake or toasted tea cake. Staff are always very helpful. It's good to feel that the profits go to an excellent cause.
Unique, fascinating, interesting!! Marvellous idea. Great place to go with friends or family - books and toys to occupy little ones. Individual “cells” so social distancing not a problem. Well priced selection of food and drinks. Friendly staff. Shop sells new items at very reasonable set prices. Café and shop are certainly worth visiting. I went with family and will return with friends.
Teens Unite have taken over Hoddesdon Old police Station its a charity shop and Jailbreak Cafe.
Open daily good selection on their daily menu.
They have made use of the cells and have put tables and chairs to have coffee and teas. They have dressing up items for children and put tables in the exercise yard.
Today we visited for the pre booked jubilee street party. £10 for adults.
Three different types of sandwiches, three different cakes and 2 scones with cream and jam along with pots of tea, orange juice and water.
Came here with our provision @1applebycottage and ut was a great, fun experience. One of our guys is celiac and was not able to have cake, but the cafe said they will renew their stock. Overall a great place.
Good experience and if have children they can dress up as police or criminal also has a shop selling clothes and much more unfortunately not much parking tho as does get busy
