Grain & Seed Cafe — Restaurant in Cromwell Community

If I pay $14 for a sandwich, I do expect that I will be getting something far superior to what I could make for myself at home for a small fraction of that price. I understand that the price of admission includes the beautiful waterside setting, but even so, I personally would rather CRISP my own bacon (a request that I made, but which was not accomplished) at home, and throw it onto some toast with cheese and jarred jalapeños before enjoying a coffee at the waterside. I don’t think making a complaint or sending the sandwich back would have changed the fundamental nature of the sandwich. In any event, subpar sandwiches aren’t the end of the world, and luckily neither is $14, but these were just the thoughts going through my head as I gazed out onto the water.

We were asked what we were doing and I told them man I was waiting for the coffee I ordered 'some time ago'. He then read the ticket, misread the clock and grumpily told me he was going as fast as he could. He was!

SERIOUS ADVICE (If you ever read these reviews) - get someone who knows how to run a coffee shop efficiently - Its a great location and should...

Lovely view, that's about it unfortunately. Ordered a sausage roll, carrot cake, coffee. Was given the cake straight away as was told otherwise the person would forget. Our coffee was brought which was incredibly strong (and I quite like strong coffee). Waited for the sausage roll. After 20 minutes, cold coffee and having eaten the cake (which was nice but the frosting was a bit odd), asked about the sausage roll to be told 5 minutes. 5 minutes later the sausage roll arrived. Raw pastry around some lovely sausage meat. Couldn't be bothered to mention this as it was already apparent the staff didn't care. There is a notice on the door saying wait times are long and don't expect food and drink at...
