Ronnie's Cafe — Restaurant in Waitematā

I ordered a chicken sandwich, chicken soup, and a turmeric latte. While the turmeric latte and chicken soup were okay, I found a piece of hair stuck to the bottom of the sandwich.

The place has been renovated and was very neat, but I wasn't as fond of the table spacing/arrangement - it was a bit cramped, and given that I was there at morning coffee time and there were only three other people there, it didn't seem necessary.

The barista/cashier also brought the coffee to the wrong table at first, and had an annoyed or bored look on her, it was a bit...
