I, and friends, have used Coffee #1 for many years. We have always been pleased with the friendly staff and their excellent service. I am very sorry to say but for the past month or so we have noticed that Coffee #1 hasn't been up to 'scratch'. One member of staff, Kerry Clarke, has been on her own, filling orders, getting them out to the customer and trying to juggle emptying tables. She has always had a smile for everyone and at times I think that has been very hard for her. What we want to know is why Kerry hasn't had help? The last Manager left a good few weeks ago but no replacement. A Manager from Tewkesbury came over at one point but she really didn't seem to know what she was doing and had to call Kerry out from her break to sort things out. You have an excellent member of staff with Kerry and I don't think you realise it.

We felt targeted and uncomfortable throughout our entire visit as staff and fellow customers kept staring at us as though we are aliens. We come from London so this type of behaviour isn’t something we have ever experienced before.
Management: please educate your staff and hire more open minded and...
Read moreI love this coffee one . The staff and coffee are great but often understaffed and have to wait a long time for service . This isn’t great if you are popping in or have kids . This is my only complaint. The staff are really friendly and make lovely coffee. The cafe is relaxing and dog friendly which is a huge plus for me . Dog friendly area at back of shop which is difficult to get to if you have a big dog for me however I sit elsewhere and has never been an issue with staff. Pretty clean and tidy for a busy place but this can be an issue if not enough staff on. Staff work hard and are always helpful. It just needs more of them during...
