"Small and cosy cafe with good coffee and a great selection of cakes and sandwiches."
Fresh coffee, homemade food, and a warm welcome — a neighbourhood cafe on St Peter's Street, in St Albans since 1996.
A local fixture for nearly three decades — now with a fresh chapter.
A fresh chapter for a much-loved St Albans cafe — under new ownership since 2024.
Cafe Roma has been part of St Peter's Street since 1996, serving the St Albans community for nearly three decades. In 2024, Velina took over — bringing a decade of experience as a store manager at Costa, and a genuine passion for great coffee and warm hospitality.
Under her care, the cafe has a cosy atmosphere, genuinely warm service, and proper espresso — with fresh energy and small touches that make every visit feel considered. Whether you're stopping in on your walk to work or settling in for the afternoon, you're welcome to stay a while.
