“Lancashire in Maryland”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 11, 2012

My husband and I have been going to Cafe Anglais for a number of years now. We especially love going on days when we can enjoy sitting out in the garden and having orange barley water with our fish and chips and mushy peas. Thanks to Michael who is English and from Lancashire, Cafe Anglais gives no pretense; it is the real thing with all of its charm and authenticity, including china and teapots. Since we had a wonderful vacation in the Windemere area of England, going to Cafe Anglais always takes us back to that trip. A bit of a feel of Beatrix Potter. Other favorite dishes include any of the tarts, the crab salad, scones and biscuits.

5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 25, 2012

Great Britian in Frederick Md. Authentic english food in a small cafe. The Shepherds pie,
fish & chips, and mushy pie is fantastic. The owner Michael is very happy to accommodate
everyone. Will definitely return.

“Charming English tea room in the heart of downtown Frederick, Md.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 26, 2012

Cafe Anglais is an authentic English tea room located at 238 N. Market St., Frederick, Md. owned by Michael, a native of Lancashire, England. Whether you order just "Tea for One" or a full meal you won't be disappointed by any of the authentic English fare on the menu. You can also enjoy high tea (with 24 hours' advance notice to Michael). Whether you order the shepherd's pie or bangers & mash or fish & chips for lunch or if you just want tea and one of Michael's home-baked scones, pasties or other desserts, you'll never be disappointed. Don't be surprised if Michael stops by your table for a friendly welcoming chat. I visit family in Frederick several times a year and lunch at Cafe Anglais and a conversation with Michael are a "must" for every visit. Cafe Anglais and Michael get 10 gold stars in my rating book!

“French Cafe with English Tea in downtown Frederick, MD”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 8, 2012

This is a small cafe on Market Street. The tables are close. We enjoyed tea served by the English owner. We loved the food, tea and talking with the owner. Other items on the menu were bangers and mash, quiche and many French pastries. Loved everything!

“Perfect English Tea in historic Fredercik”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 23, 2010

We had a beautiful afternoon tea with excellent pastries and a perfect pot. It was prepared just like we have had in England. The service was excellent and the owner even came out and introduced himself. He is from Lancashire England and his tea house is authentic. If you have ever had tea in the U.K. you'll recognize this as the genuine article. Homemade pasties, scones and clotted cream. Fine china and lace curtains to boot.
