Miloud Said (known to all as Milo) is one of those guys who doesn’t wait around for life to happen! Milo makes it happen.
This man was the shining face of Ritazza Café at St Albans station but has recently left to ambitiously renovate an old toilet block into a fresh new café!
This café is called The Beech Tree and looks onto the Fleetville playground. It is a perfect location. Milo and co-owner Absalma are creating an inviting atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating.
When I first encountered Milo, I noticed his good customer manner and his memory for the favourite coffee of every customer! Even when there was a long queue, he acknowledged each person and served as diligently as possible. His coffee is excellent and well sourced.
As I had sipped the best coffee in town, I asked Milo to tell me about their new café.
‘Our big aim for the Beech Tree Café is that we want to bring ‘the family’ together to sit here and enjoy the best quality coffee I can offer. I want the costumer to discover the charm of the coffee! I want to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.’
Milo and Absalma have quality in mind with food too.
‘We try to offer simple and healthy food that appeals to all ages. It’s all homemade and fresh. Our challenge is to offer barbequed food outside in summer, for all the family to enjoy. Parents can relax while restless children can enjoy the nearby playground or the café’s garden games. We will have outdoor shelter so people can stay all day long whatever the weather!’
A note of warning; Watch out for Milo’s jokes! You have to discover for yourself when he is serious or not!
