Hands down the best coffee and sweet treats in Harpenden, lovely atmosphere and locally owned ❤️

This wasn't what I thought it was. I thought it was a full cafe but it's a mini cafe. They didn't have any lunch items such as sandwiches. They did, however, have some delicious cakes which we brought to takeaway. The woman who served us was very friendly. They didn't have any dairy free alternatives for hot drinks.

Great tasting quality coffee, and choice of some delicious cakes, the lady serving deserves a special mention a asset to the business, this little gem of a place tucked away at the rear of purple menswear.

The best coffee shop around. We travel 30 minutes by car to visit as the cakes are divine. The staff are incredibly friendly and every visit is a joy, we couldn’t recommend it more.

We are over from New Zealand and came across this lovely coffee shop in Harpenden. New Zealand and Australia are know for good Coffee and this was just as good. Best coffee we have had in London. Super friendly and very clean.

If you have never been there before it can be a bit difficult to find. Inside there is a small, comfy eating area. They do have an outside seating are which would be nice on a summer's day. The coffee was nice as well as the cakes. I would like it if they had more of a cake range but they do have a good selection of teas and coffees

5 stars before but very sadly 3 stars recently!Staff are still super friendly but unfortunately the coffee has gone downhill. Used to get the most perfect flat white every time, but it's been a bit watery (milk hadn't been frothed properly) and lacking in flavour the past few times.

What a pleasure to be served a coffee with such passion and an amazing environment! Sure the space lacks the size of other coffee shops in the area but Lily make it grow with her persona and genuine care for both café and it’s guests! Thank you Lily for your amazing work!

The best coffee, most delicious Biscoff brownie and friendliest staff I’ve had since before the first lockdown.Coffee is espresso based and the americano I ordered was deep and rich with chocolate and a slightly nutty aftertone.A great and quaint hidden gem - don’t miss 8oz!

If you are ever in need of a quick and cozy stop-off and coffee then Eight Ounces is the place to go. It's tucked inside Purple (clothes store) so please don't miss it! All the teas and coffee are delicious and insanely affordable, the music is bright and energizing, the furniture, decor, and vibe is warm and inviting and the cake selection is moreish. Can't recommend Eight Ounces enough and Lili is sure to make your stay an unforgettable one.
