The value for money is fantastic. Super reasonable and the food/drink has always been lovely- which makes it really unfortunate that the staff do not manage the place well and really let it down. Iāve visited a few times as the reviews are so good I put down my bad experience to being an off day. Whenever I go in, regardless of how quiet or busy it is, all the empty tables are filthy. My last visit, only 3 tables were occupied and the rest were all covered in dishes. We sat down at one expecting it to be cleaned at some point. I went and ordered our food and drinks, which took 40 minutes to come (this I was already surprised at, due to there being 3/4 staff on and all the other tables already having their food) and then the person bringing our order over came up to see the dirty table. She had to sit our food on the dirty table beside ours, added the dishes to the pile on the other table and without so much as wiping ours down, served our food. She then proceeded to go back behind the till and continue her conversation, leaving all the other dirty tables as they were, despite having now acknowledged the dirty plates and mugs. In addition to this, Iāve never actually found any staff Iāve had dealings with particularly friendly. My partner suggested it was possibly because they were all very young- however I disagree as itās not uncommon for younger people/students to be working in the food/drink industry and I canāt say Iāve ever noticed it before. As I said, this is the sort of thing Iāve witnessed in the 5/6 times Iāve visited and after speaking to a friend who lives on the street and has visited too, she agreed- so I find it difficult to believe that itās just been chance on those visits. Due to the value and quality, I probably would visit again but only...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreFirst time visiting, nothing special about the place and quiet like a library no atmosphere. Ordered a hot chocolate and DECAF mocha. Was offered marshmallows on my hot chocolate that were missing when the drink arrived and my partner had the mocha but after an hour (when we had already left) it was apparent that he wasnāt served a decaf and in fact caffeinated coffee which lead him to anxiety, stomach issues and sweats for the processing hours. Obv there is no different in taste between caffeine and decaf especially when it comes to a mocha.
Cheap but I think thereās a reason for this. We like to try to support local but Iād rather have went to Starbucks where my order would have been correct and the seating would have...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI love this cafe and am sad itās only open Fri-Sunday. I agree that staff could do more ⦠it frequently looks closed even when open and when I mentioned this to the staff they agreedš¤·āāļøbut didn't put the wooden sign outside. It was a beautiful day they could have put a table out too. Maybe needs a neon sign in the big window? The tray bakes are the best Iāve tasted and the coffee is lovely too. The cafe is always clean and thereās ample seating. I like that itās not too noisy and thereās always somewhere to...
