About This Pub

Ah, Grande Cafe Bar – it's one of those hidden gems in Barnet that I've heard some good things about from folks who've popped in. The coffee really steals the show; it's top-notch and has people coming back for more, especially if you're after a solid brew to start your day. The vibe inside is just lovely, with nice decor that makes it feel welcoming and relaxed – ideal for a casual chat or even watching something on the large screen TV if you're into that. The staff are absolute stars, always ready with a smile and making everyone feel at ease, which is what makes a good pub feel like a second home. On the flip side, it's a bit of a downer that there's no food on offer yet, as the kitchen isn't up and running, so you might find yourself just sticking to beverages and wishing for a bite to go with it. And if you're in a rush for takeaway, the cups aren't the sturdiest, which could lead to a messy situation. All in all, it's worth a visit if you're nearby and fancy a decent drink in a friendly setting, but keep in mind it might not tick all the boxes just yet – still, with that 4.3 rating, there's plenty to like!

Pros and Cons

Pros

The coffee here is absolutely spot-on – several people have raved about it, making it a real highlight for a quick caffeine fix.
The atmosphere is lovely and welcoming, with great decor that creates a cosy vibe, perfect for catching up with mates or enjoying a moment alone.
Staff are incredibly friendly and make you feel right at home, which really adds to the charm of the place.
It's got a large screen TV, which could be brilliant for watching the big games or events while you sip your drink.
A great spot for all sorts of groups, whether you're with family, on a date, or just popping in for a quiet drink by yourself.

Cons

No kitchen means no food options at the moment, so it's just drinks for now, which might leave you wanting something to nibble on.
The takeaway cups are a bit flimsy and not the best quality, making it less ideal if you're grabbing coffee to go.
It seems like the place is still getting sorted, with things like the kitchen not open yet, so it might not be fully up and running.

What a sexy cafe I must say. I found it slightly odd that it doesn't have a kitchen, meaning no food whatsoever, not even nibbles. However, the staff informed me the kitchen would open in a few weeks—hooray! So, I just got a beverage. They have a large screen TV, which I imagine would be great to watch the game on. The front of the café features floor-to-ceiling bi-fold doors, so the entire space opens out onto the street, which was really nice on such a pleasant, day.

Bought americano for takeaway. No sleeve to go with the cup and very flimsy takeaway coffee cups. Poor quality

Excellent coffee!! We stopped for a morning coffee completely by chance and absolutely LOVED the coffee. It's got great decor and ambience too. Give it a try!!

Lovely environment , great selection of drinks. Just what Cockfosters needed. Staff and owner is incredibly welcoming. Would recommend for all families, couples, and if you just want to enjoy a drink on your own!

I remembered that on New Years Day this year in a search for good coffee, I stumbled upon this place. Their card system was down and was taking only cash, they made me a delicious coffee and because of my lack of cash, they actually gave it to me for free. I have only just remembered this now but gesture alone was memorable.
