The Vanilla Pod Cafe Patisserie — Restaurant in England

Normally i only review high quality donner, today i have to share this gem.

Went there today as advised by a Textile business opposite.

We ordered the Fish and Chips and a Ribeye, however they were not available. Under the direction of the Gentleman behind the counter we ended up ordering the Meatball tagine and the Chicken fajita.

I was utterly surprised how fresh and tasty my meatballs were which were cooked to perfection. The tomato based sauce was delicious and the ingredients were fresh, i could taste everything, basil, coriander, chili... it came with some toasted bread which worked perfectly to mop up the leftovers.

My wife loved the Chicken Fajita, everything (including the side salad) was treated with the utmost respect, the salad was fresh and delicious and it was constructed perfectly

The lady who served us was smily, friendly and well mannered, we were offered a complimentary Moroccan tea but we went with a single english tea to go.

10/10 on both service and food. I was really surprised, i will say we went when it was not very busy so maybe when its busier you might not get the...

Went they with a friend on Saturday the guy servicing us was so rude and confrontational .He accused me of pointing at him and asking him to come over which I did not do I explained this to him but he did not want to listen. My friend also try to explain to him that I had not done this, but he was very rude slammed our drinks down on the table and walked off Muttering something behind the counter really angry and then just ignored us! The other guy who brought our food over was very polite and friendly. when my friend went over to pay for the bill. The first guy (mr rude ) took the money and just put his thumb up and did not say please or thank you and just walked off leave her standing there stunned! We wanted to speak to the owner but we couldn’t see him around and we just left really disappointed with his bad behaviour and attitude it’s a shame the owner is very nice guy maybe he needs to employe better mannered staff!!! Won’t be going back there...

Having seen online reviews I was looking forward to eating here but found it disappointing. We ate here late on Saturday so perhaps it had been a long and busy day but we weren’t overwhelmed. The staff weren’t rude but weren’t they friendly either. The pastries all looked delicious but this was to be our main meal of the day so unfortunately we opted for mushroom omelette and home made fish fingers and chips. The fish fingers were deep fried for a minute or so too long so the breadcrumbs were super crunchy and the fish dry, the chips seemed to be the cheap catering variety deep fried and served with grease, the ketchup was a luminous, gelatinous blob. The peas arrived a few minutes later and were spot on. The omelette was not the least bit light and fluffy and my husbands review was simply ‘ I’ve had better, it’s not as good as yours’. While the food was edible, we wouldn’t bother going back when Wycombe has so many...
