Local businesses are the lifeblood of our communities, and they often encounter unique challenges in the digital age. Online reviews can have a profound impact on their success, and it's crucial to remember the weight our words carry. A recent review posted on Evalynn's Google Reviews has left me somewhat perplexed. Someone purchased food from a local shop and proceeded to consume it on Evalynn's premises, only to complain because they were asked not to do so, resulting in a derisory review and a one-star rating? Really...?
I love the atmosphere and vibe at Evalynn; it's a bustling hub of activity, and the dynamic team run a fantastic business. All you need to do is observe how busy it is from opening to closing, every day of the week. Their coffee is exceptional, and they offer freshly baked pastries, cakes, and sandwiches. In fact, I've heard they employ a full-time baker.
Well done to the team, you deserve a pat...

(I love the jig rinser next to the coffee machine to was the jug every time). Well worth the visit and it will be come the new local...
