Last updated 25th Jun 2021
A coffee shop in Tring clearly have some big fans, after celebrating some good news this week.
The Espresso Lounge has made it into TripAdvisor's Top 10 in the UK and they say after the last year it's a reason to be proud.
The research conducted by coffee retailer Coffee Friend has looked at the highest rated coffee shops across the UK with more than 100 reviews based on TripAdvisor reviews - taking Excellent, Terrible and overall ratings into account.
Co-owner Claire Sharma, who works alongside her husband Aron, told us local support has been unreal:
"The bets part of a bad situation really was that every single day during all three lockdowns we had a queues right out the door, round the corner to the car park.
"They got us through it, certainly, our regulars, they got us through covid, so we are really grateful."
The couple only found out about the achievement when another reporter got in touch with them.
They told us it really is all down to local support, which as now enabled them to work on expansion plans.
Despite a delay in being able to go back to full-capacity, Aron told us they're not worried:
"Even today, over the last couple of weeks, when you have that quiet patch you look back and think have you done anything wrong, what's going on?
"But it's just the nature of the business.
"Some days you have a good day, some days you have a bad day, but have just rallied through a hard year and there's a lot going on moving forward."
