Three people sit at a sunlit restaurant table, smiling and laughing together. The woman in the center holds a zafferano-infused drink, while her friends nearby enjoy the lively conversation.
Elegant café with high ceilings, large windows, and ornate wooden paneling. Guests enjoy zafferano-infused treats at tables while chatting. Framed paintings adorn the walls as warm sunlight streams in, creating a cozy atmosphere.
A smiling woman steams milk with an espresso machine in a cozy, warmly lit café filled with zafferano yellow cups stacked on top of the machine.
A wall adorned with ornate, gold-framed paintings—including portraits, a woman in a black dress, floral arrangements, and a zafferano-hued landscape—set above wood paneling and illuminated by warm lights.

Our Lounge

Taking over an old banking hall, Zafferano Lounge now serves up our signature delicious food and drinks all day every day to the people of Saffron Walden. We want to make sure every customer feels catered for and leaves happy, so you can expect dedicated menus for if you’re gluten-free, vegan or if you’re a Little Lounger.

There are events and board games for guests of all ages, toys for the really little ones and even refreshments available for our canine guests! Whether you want a cosy coffee catchup or a few cocktails in the evening, there’s something for everyone at Zafferano Lounge.

Oh, and Zafferano means saffron in Italian, a little nod to the town’s golden past as a major saffron-growing hub back in the day!
