The Tile Press Café — Restaurant in England

Had a strange experience here this week. On arrival it was very busy which is usually a good sign, the area and Cafe itself look lovely. The wife and I took up seats inside and were looking for prices on the menu for their coffee and cakes but couldn't find them anywhere. I went and asked and the staff wanted to know what we wanted, I explained that we didn't know yet but wanted to know prices before we order so we know what we're paying. Pretty normal cafe or shop procedure I thought! The staff explained they don't have their coffee prices on their menus but that they're "all about £3.30 and the cakes are all about £3.80" I asked how they operate like that, do they just guess at the time or give different prices to different people? I wouldn't know if I was spending a fiver or 20 quid! Most odd and we ended up walking out without ordering as it just seemed a bit chaotic and disorganised. I don't think I've ever been to a cafe/coffee shop that doesn't have their prices displayed. 😕 Seemed like a nice place though but you just have to guess what...

Really impressed with the new menu, staff and new look. The lady making the food orders was very accomodating and made a vegan dish tailored to what I fancied. It was refreshing to see some nice vegan options and my food was very well executed and the lady's service was excellent. My parents had some of the cake and said how lovely it was, and the coffee was great too. Really really pleased to see the cafe having a good quality offering with keen staff. I have been visiting Maws Craft Centre for years and this is the best I have seen it. Whoever is now in charge has really turned things around and I will definitely be back. Thanks for being so welcoming...

I'm never happy at any outlet where we have to make a real effort to get the attention of staff who ignore me wishing to order. Being busy is no reason to avoid eye contact and simply saying 'I'll be with you shortly'. Consequently, when they finally deigned to ask, rather than order food I only ordered cake and coffee, which are somewhat expensive probably due to the location. The cake was excellent, having a home made texture/taste and being of good size. The flat white was anything but... It had a frothy head taking half of the cup... Clearly either careless or untrained staff. Disappointed, especially after visiting upon...
