Sadly yesterday, the service was terrible. I waited for a long time being served. With me my 5 year old pupil. It wasn't busy, so that was not the reason. The reason was that the two employees were too occupied with chatting with each other and customers. I did mention this to one of them and his ( I think he was male, apologies if not) reply was that he was very busy with orders, which was absolutely not true! I overheard his conversations! I wasn't the only customer being irritated. I've been to this cafe more often and the service has always been 5* but not yesterday. I don't mind waiting when it's very busy but it was quiet!

As a loyal customer, I would suggest that if they are running low on ingredients, the staff inform customers in advance. My friend had been hesitant to return due to a previous experience, and this visit unfortunately reinforced their concerns.Our entire mood was ruined and didn’t drink the coffee and...

When was the last time I entering this cafe? I think it's when HMV was still outside the upstairs windows. It has been too long.
Why? Because the pastries looked so ordinary. They remained me of the pastries in local supermarkets(but more expensive than the ones in supermarket!). Everything was just nothing special.
Finally got something attracted me. Pistachio croissant that only costs £2.70!
I weighted it at home. It's 90g, similar to other rival cafe/bakery of the town centre. Surprisingly it was full of filling. The filling was well flavoured, not crazily sweet.
I am not sure if the cafe would heat the pastries for the customers?
But the environment of the cafe was quite good. Comfortable sofas and the tables were not too close to each other.
And the toilet went out of...
