My 95yo Dad and I came here because he'd been before, and said the food was good. Well, maybe it was an off day. Or maybe someone is creatively challenged. Or perhaps they're having a cash crunch. I really don't know what would justify selling a small ciabatta bun with deli turkey, sliced cucumber, processed cheese, and 2 or 3 crushed cranberries, and calling that a turkey and cranberry sandwich. It was very odd. Very odd. The entire sandwich looked like someone ran out of food and ran up to Save-On to grab some fixings.
Doesn't cranberry, the word, suggest more than a couple of berries? To me, that suggests a slather of cranberry sauce or some type of cranberry spread. This isn't a fast food franchise, so the processed cheese was quite the surprise. It was touted as a 'melt', and yet there was the odd insertion of cucumber slices. I thought it was a one-off, but I looked through the reviews here, and someone experienced this very odd foodstuff happening to them about 7 months ago. Why, on God's green Earth, would someone think this was an appropriate thing to repeat and trot out for public consumption?
While I can understand that many other people have had wonderful experiences here, both myself and my father were quite disappointed. Staff were fine. Atmosphere was okay. Food- good lord, no.
If you look back at other reviews, you'll see the review of 7 months ago that has photos of the same sandwich that we experienced today. Time to retire that abomination permanently. Sandwiches are so easy to do. Great sandwiches aren't that much harder to create. I can't believe the proprietors felt that this was appropriate to sell. In this economy, going out is a pricey action. Spending frivolously is a foolish endeavor. I can't justify attending this establishment again, unless I can be reassured that quality has improved. My opinion is probably not going to affect Nat's adversely, but since I know I haven't been the only one, I felt that I needed to put this out for the public, and they can make an educated decision as to where they spend...
Read moreThink back ... Back to the 1990s. Kurt Cobain and Nirvana had rescued us from spandex and Joico Ice Mist. "dot com" was still not part of the vernacular and Seattle (along with some parts of British Columbia) was enjoying some surprisingly good coffee from a not-as-new-as-you'd-think chain. They were cool because not only did they encourage you to hang out, they made phenomenal coffee.
Fast forward two decades. The aforementioned chain doesn't even deserve the moniker of "pedestrian", being long surpassed by even fast-food joints. And then ... then Woods Coffee shows up. And all is right with the world again.
I'm new to this shop, having only consumed -- and loved -- two Cafe Mochas. But wow. Amphetamine-like caffeine content, strong flavour, zero bitterness and a perfect chocolate compliment. You will be hard pressed to find a better beverage anywhere at any price.
Run, don't walk to Woods Coffee. And if you don't have the energy to run, you most certainly will...
Read moreI'm a first-time customer to Nat's Coffee House. My husband ordered caramel macchiato, and I ordered ice mocha and blueberry lemon muffin. We were so happy with our drinks and nothing to complain about.
Meanwhile, about the muffin, I was attracted to the blueberry/lemon combination, but unfortunately, i didn't get the combination taste. Furthermore, the muffin was not fresh (probably not baked on the same day), and the staff didn't offer to warm it up.
All staff were friendly, but the mistake was that she didn't offer to warm up my muffin. I don't mind eating muffins at normal temperatures provided if it's freshly baked, but the muffin I ate wasn't fresh.
I will definitely come again because i really like the atmosphere. The last time i came here, it was a Woods Coffee. So when i came yesterday, it reminded me of Woods Coffee because the management didn't change any indoor seating.
Next time, i will try another drink on the menu, but I'm not interested with...
