Cafe is cute and has nice decor with a lot of natural light. There are also clean toilets and a prayer room provided. We had a latte and mocha frappucino, both tasted good.
I have some constructive criticism though that should help the owners improve the cafe. No malicious intent here but important that owners take note of comments from customers like myself if they want to expand/maintain business :
Please serve drinks before serving food, or serve them together. I got my bagel first then got my drink quite a while later after that. Drinks first because noone wants to eat a meal with a dry throat.
The cashier did not tell me that you could choose the type of bagel you want. I assumed all bagels were plain. As a result, I received a cinnamon bagel with chicken pepperoni and cream cheese. Flavour combination is a bit off, some may prefer this but I think the cinnamon bagel would go better with the sweet fillings. Disappointed that cashier did not tell me I could choose the type of bagel, and that the sandwich chef decided that a cinammon bagel would make sense with a savoury filling.
Service was very slow considering that we were the only ones in the cafe (another small group came after us but we were there first). Waiter did inform us later that our order was delayed because the chef was out but we were only informed that after waiting for quite a while. We ordered shakshuka which is not a complex dish if all ingredients are prepped, other members of staff (such as sandwich maker) should be able to fill in when one is on a break. Or the very least, before the order is taken, customers should be informed of the delay.
Below are just some personal suggestions for improvement, not major criticisms but may be helpful too:
I think the bagels on the menu are a bit plain. The sandwich maker was very generous with the amount of cream cheese but besides that there was only lettuce and some slices of chicken ham. Would suggest adding tomatoes, avocado, eggs or anything that would make the flavour less one dimensional. I would also suggest serving the bagels in paper and cutting it in half, it would be less messy to eat that way.
The sourdough bread slices that came with the shakshuka were drenched in butter but were not properly toasted/grilled. Either reduce the amount of butter or grill the bread for longer so that there is some char on the bread.
Perhaps put an automatic door closer on your front door. That ways staff/customers don't have to close the door.
Hope the comments were helpful. I haven't tried the spaghetti yet so maybe will come back for that especially because it seems reasonably priced . Until then hope some improvements are...
