Welcome to the Gingerbread Man 

The Gingerbread man has become a Harpenden favourite over the last couple of years, serving families with delicious home cooked food in a relaxing child friendly environment - thats why we were voted best child friendly cafe 2009 by the St Albans Food and Drink Festival. 
 
 

 

What we do thats different...

We go as far as we can to source locally grown, organic, sustainable produce.  
 
The Gingerbread Man prides itself on sourcing local bakers and producers.  From traditional dunking biscotti, freshly baked scone to delicious cup cakes. 
 
We even take a lot of pride preparing and serving our tea, supplied by Taylors of Harrogate.  Its good old loose tea served in a proper tea pot, so a good "mash" is guaranteed.
 
Our menus are evolving and daily specials include freshly baked bruscettas topped with an array of freshly roasted vegetables and homemade pesto.
 
There will regular events such such as wine tasting evenings and we will be hosting regularly changing artwork by local artists.
 
Have a welcome coffee and a bit of respite from the little ones with our Kids Story Time!
 
The Gingerbread man can also be used a venue for private parties and we can also organise childrens parties for you.
 
 
 
 
Why eat here?

 
We at the gingerbread man whole heartedly believe in sourcing freshly grown produce. We support local farmers and exibit local artists, keeping our carbon miles down and encouraging a sense of a community working together.
