Main homemade moussaka ok , salad packet no dressing , chips frozen ,cold dessert tiramisu dry Iceland square , not fresh .

This is a gem, deceptively spacious with good vibe and cosy!

Bit disapointed to get charged an extra £1.00 for soya milk in my latte on top of £3.30 for a standard Latte. When we questioned the cost they said Soya milk cost more. In total £4.30 for a latte. Outrageous!!!!

This place really has gone from strength to strength over the years. I simply can't recommend Deer Cafe enough. The food is always exceptional, the menu choice is perfect and the staff are super friendly and efficient. If it's a cafe you're looking for then this is the place with all the expected breakfast/lunch options but if its Turkish lunch or dinner they have you covered too and the quality is as good, if not better than the other local Turkish restaurants. I've actually walked out of Wetherspoons across the road before as I realised I could get better quality food and at competitive prices at Deer Cafe. A special shout out also to the owner Ozay Tabak, who personally cooked my Sarma Lamb Beyti on my most recent visit and also to their amazing waitress Emma Sammarco, who could break a world record for the amount she can remember without writing anything down and couldn't be more attentive. Over the years, my whole family has become quite attached to this place, so long may it survive to continue brightening up Hoddesdon's dining experience. I should also point out that their chicken and bacon jacket potato is probably the best I've had ??

It was our first visit today and the food was absolutely delicious! Service was outstanding, prompt and professional, we did not have to wait for drinks/food/bill and nothing was too much trouble- our lovely server even cut up my daughter’s food so I could eat! Warmest welcome ever, we loved it here and will definitely be back!Kid-friendliness: My two 7 year olds were made to feel super special here this morning by our lovely server, she chatted to them, and made them feel so happy and at home.

I brought my sister from New Zealand here. It's my favourite local cafe/restaurant. She loved the food, as we do. Very generous portions and reasonable prices! Highly recommended.

Delightful bistro. Service was attentive and helpful throughout our time spent seated outside. Great location in town and all for a very reasonable charge, no wonder they were busy. Thank you.

Great breakfast service a touch disorganised but lady manger spotted issue apologise and resolved situation. Well done. Recommended.

Didn't realise how big the place was inside! It looks like quite a tiny cafe from outside. Priced very well and great selection, however service was great from some staff but other staff aren't very polite and just place food down without talking and when asked for things just does it without communication.The escalope wrap was tasty but sauce was more of a sweet and sour instead of sweet chili but that's just personal taste! Next time I'll ask for it without. Great salad though and portion of fries.I'd come here again, food was also very quick!
Lovely staff, tasty and fresh food, cosy and clean. We'll definitely pop in again next time for lazy breakfast and good coffee...

What a fantastic gem in our little town. The staff are like little hummingbirds running around to cater for you. We only had the brunch menu but for the money it costs and the amazing food we had!! WOW!!!Get involved and you will not be disappointed.

Went there for brunch. Ordered avocado toast and poached eggs. One egg was runny the other was over done and dry. Now the second time I’ve had this issue. There was no salad included this time round for some reason and one of the staff was cheeky enough to say “did you want it runny?”Considering how many options there are in Hoddesdon for food I shan’t be returning here any more.Very disappointed
