Teebox Cafe — Restaurant in Claremont

Yesterday 18/05 I visted Teebox cafe in Claremont after a parkrun, I paid and I waited outside for my coffee and cake, while waiting (like 25 minutes, it was super busy) through the open window I saw and heard a man (not sure if manager and or owner) who was the 25 minutes yelling at the staff, telling them off, saying "move""grab coffees and get out of here" " "what are you doing? Move from my way," "grab these things and dissappear" all the time yelling and being extremely nasty with staff. The worst is that the carrot cake I ordered had a huge plastic inside so I told one of the waitress who went straight to him and he started yelling at her, I dont want to hear you, go to other person I am busy, leave me alone", this guy was making coffees. The coffe and food is great, but I left super sad and to be honest I feel terrible for all the staff, most of them young team members that they were nervous :( I just told the lady who was yelled for the carrot cake, please find a new job you shouldn't be treated and yelled like that. It is not good, "I know she said looking at the floor sad". I hope this malenperson can change attitude and create a nice work environment for the team that...

The food and service are consistently excellent, but it’s deeply concerning to witness the behaviour of the male manager or owner towards the staff, particularly the younger or more junior employees. On multiple occasions, I’ve observed him speaking to them in an aggressive and highly disrespectful manner, often using inappropriate language—including profanity—over minor errors, such as incorrectly loading milk into the machine or small order mishaps.

It sets a damaging example for young staff, potentially leading them to believe that this is normal or acceptable in the workplace. As a customer, it’s incredibly uncomfortable to watch someone be publicly berated like this. No one should be treated that way—especially not in a...

We had such a fantastic experience at Teebox Cafe! The place has such a vibrant energy the moment you walk in, and the staff really make the atmosphere warm and welcoming. Booking was completely hassle-free, which made the whole experience even smoother.

We ordered the Avo on Toast and it was absolutely amazing – fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. The food here is clearly made with care and attention to detail.

The staff deserve a special mention too. They were friendly, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic. The younger team members especially stood out – they brought a lot of positivity and charm to the service, making us feel right at home.

Overall, a brilliant cafe with great vibes, delicious food, and wonderful people running it....
