I am someone who is of a cheerful disposition , but whilst having my vehicle serviced nearby , on entrance to this cafe I was greeted ( well not greeted at all really ) by a really unhappy and seemingly rude person behind the counter ! I was told to find a seat ( No please or thankyou ) which I did and a table away appeared what I guess may have been her boss ( or owner of the establishment )! I eventually asked him what the protocol was as I seemed to have been abandoned, he told me that the lady will come and take my order ( he seemed concerned by her attitude too I think ) ! He went around the corner to let her know I’d been waiting at one stage and she miraculously appeared, her face like thunder and then she abruptly barked at me to tell her what I wanted with what appeared to be a belittling stare ! I could not fathom why she didn’t like me, ( did I resemble an ex partner or something ? ) I am a cheerful person, always treat others how I wish to be treated ! Anyway , at this point I had lost trust in eating there, maybe she might spit in my food or throw it on the floor and put it back on the plate ( I thought ) , so to avoid further issue I basically said “ I’m sorry, I don’t feel very welcome here and you don’t appear to like your job very much , maybe you should consider a different kind of job “ I think that’s basically what I said ! The thing is I feel desperately sad for the owner if he’s losing business because of her! I rarely write reviews and if I do it’s normally because I’ve been overwhelmed by how amazing somewhere is! I know it isn’t easy to get good staff these days and infact it can be really challenging working with the public, I know only too well , as I had plenty of experience when much younger, but unless it’s themed as Karen’s Diner then I think you need to replace her I’m sorry to say or maybe don’t have her front of house as she’ll ruin everyone’s day 😭! or at best send her home if she has some personal problems ( We are all only human after all ) ! The menu looked amazing , sadly I lost total trust though , it might not have arrived unscathed! The pricing was fair and lots of choice and the cakes in the cabinet looked amazing, but I sincerely. hope that no one else has such an awful...
Read moreIt is a lovely setting with Really good food. My partner had the eggs Benedict where the sauce was just enough. ( He usually complains about how much sauce they put on at places). He said it was yummy and wished he could have got a second portion. I had the salmon bagel with cream cheese/ Avocados and vegetable crisps. The helping was just the right size for me and the bagel was packed with salmon. The only thing was cutting it was a hard task as the contents kept falling out and I possibly had a dull knife. The service was alright. The staff were polite and attentive. Clearing the tables and seeing to the customers and they did make you feel welcoming however, our server did seem a little down but it could be that she was having a bad day. The place as well is bigger than I originally thought with two sections to it and it also serves as a bakery where they make home made cakes and bread which you can buy. Its also dog friendly and it has a garden (which seemed quite large) and toilets that you have to get through via the garden area. It's a modern place ,but has an old feel to it. With beautiful fireplaces, old pictures of Wooburn Green. The tree of life. And old coat racks. I do recommend...
Read moreA Hidden Gem in Wooburn Green: Green Delight Bakery & Cafe
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Green Delight in Wooburn Green, and it was an absolute delight (pun intended!) The cafe boasts a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed breakfast, lunch, or simply a coffee and pastry break.
What truly impressed me was the selection of freshly baked goods. I indulged in some focaccia, and it was simply divine! Light, airy, and bursting with flavour – a true testament to their artisan baking skills. The Italian pastries were equally delightful, offering a delightful mix of sweet and savoury treats. Each bite was a flavour explosion, showcasing the high-quality ingredients and expert craftsmanship.
The service at Green Delight was top-notch. The staff were friendly, attentive, and happy to answer any questions I had about the menu. They clearly take pride in their offerings and genuinely care about creating a positive experience for their customers.
