We decided to have breakfast on Father’s Day in the cafe nearest to our home. Our first visit there and we have been waiting OVER AN HOUR for our breakfast. We arrived at 10.10 and spend in the queue 15 min due to the fact that customers are waiting for the drinks to be put on their trays for them. Then long, over an hour ,wait for food.

Unless they are there by 1pm at the latest, there are literally no sandwiches or rolls left, or barely any to choose from. This cafe is very, very popular, yet clearly the food stock is lacking, or they just make a certain number of rolls and then you are left with nothing if you come too late.
