Popped in here for a takeaway coffee a few times this summer so far, each time a latte, each time the milk has been vastly over stretched, like taken way to far. On the second occasion, I returned the coffee and explained that the milk is over stretched. Lady behind the counter had no idea what I meant. This tells me one thing, no one here knows coffee. It's a business, not a cafe. They don't care about serving quality coffee, they just care about selling it to you. Lady offered to redo it and she was polite enough about it but since she doesn't know how it was done wrong in the first place, of course I'm going to get the same coffee again and I did.
I'll give a star or two for the food because on my last visit, I ordered a sausage sandwich and it was gorgeous. Credit where credit's due. Maybe this place is as popular as it is because the food is nice but I've got no room in my life for a cafe that can't get the...

One in our party suffers from Chrons disease, and has an NHS Can't Wait card, describing his symptoms and his need to make urgent use of the toilet facilities when the symptoms flare up. This has never been a problem in any other establishment, apart from here. Upon our arrival he needed to make use of the facilities. He was refused. Aside from the discomfort, the embarrassment this caused was shocking. The rest of the group had been considering getting food and drinks here, as you can imagine this attitude made us think again. An opportunity missed.
A real shame as every other time he has had to use the card people have been more than accommodating. Letting the side down.
I'm sure the...
