It is important to support the independent shops where possible, but lines do have to be drawn when absurd charges are added. This has happened with me with Harris and Hoole who changed their stance on the issue.
I went in and ordered a cup of tea which h was £2. However the woman said that will be £2.25 as I am having soya milk and soya milk is 25p extra Utopia, can you not see the absurdity of this? If I ordered a large latte with soya milk it is still 25p extra. My tea has a splash of soy, not 3/4 of a cup. This is daylight robbery.

My coffee (oat-americano) was priced fairly and super hot; just the way I like it. I consumed and people watched outside.
I would recommend and this is very...
Read moreAbsolutely disgusting!!! First of all, the tables are extremely unsanitary and have not seen them be cleaned once.In addition to this, I would like to inform you that my dads order had been denied, for no reason whatsoever. They had NO right to do this as they would have not been able to detect that the people eating subway outside were his daughters. Your staff have disgusting manners, especially to Ukrainians like me. Take that ukrainian heart down right now!! You all have NO respect for anyone at all and the “We stand with ukraine” is just a ‘trend’ to you guys. GROW UP. How dare you deny entry to innocent people just because your business is dying and getting no sales. The reason you’re called an ‘independent company’ is because nobody wants to...
