still. — Restaurant in England

I want to be as fair as possible here, I'm a bit of a wine fan, I don't profess to know a lot but I can tell a good one from a bad one. We went for the organic wine on one the pizza nights. We tried both wines and they were very weak, lacking in body and flavour, a good red should have the viscosity to linger on the side of the glass after a sip and these didn't. I've had better house wines in standard pubs. The other alternative was £95 a bottle we didn't really want to pay that. At £8 a glass I expect a pretty well selected wine. The pizza was very greeesy, I feel not cooked at a hot enough temperature with slightly too much dough which was still quite moist. The positives are it's a very nice atmosphere, friendly service and excellent background music. In my opinion there's aren't enough places playing really good electronic music and the ambient house and kind of synth wave vibes were really good and chosen by someone who clearly knows their stuff. I think with better wine selections and more veriety I'd...

Very very fine coffee, packed with flavour. I have slightly off-piste coffee preferences, but they catered admirably. The decaf Americano had a little froth of crema and tasted like the real thing - not an easy thing to find! They even had some oat milk for me. On the downside they had only some slices of a cake to eat.when I went, and I saw cinnamon buns on the menu that were all gone. Otherwise it is presumably devoid of food - I asked if there was anything else to ear but they had not even a crisp. The ginger chap at the counter did not know if there were any dairy ingredients in the cake, and understood I couldn't eat it for allergy reasons, so he very kindly suggested I could look in Marla's sandwich shop across the walkway and bring something back. All in all I'll be going back, but not when I'm hungry. It's a great little place in a lovely old arcade, and let's face it, what you want most from a coffee shop is...

Tucked away down a little cobbled street opposite Pizza Express on Princes Quay is this rustic quirky little café. Instantly likeable this was like stepping back in time in Italy. Very good service and almond croissants, kindly warmed. We are daily coffee drinkers but, unfortunately, the coffee was – let’s say – an acquired taste (& not one we particularly liked). This may just be personal preference but, sorry, we won’t be returning. Such a shame – loved everything else! UPDATE in answer to the owners reply. I sort of agree with Meso Tofu's review 5 days ago. It just wasn't a very pleasant taste, certainly not like any coffee I've had anywhere else. I guess with any speciality food or drink there's going to be the occssional batch that doesn't end up as it should. I assume you've tasted it? Maybe we just prefer a more conventional coffee taste, like Taylor's Rich Italian blend we...
