I go through Borrowash quite a bit and I always wondered what this cafe would be like. Today I stopped at this coffee shop... I was greeted by a friendly young lady and she was smiley and welcoming. I went to order soup but they were out, which is OK as places run out of things especially if home home made. I ordered something else and was a chicken and salsa wrap. I waited a good while for food approx 20 minutes, when it was served the lady was pleasent. The wrap, was nothing special, pre cooked chicken mixed peppers and salsa, I was quite disappointed with the filling as there were only 3 small thin slices of chicken breast, clearly from a packet of pre cooked chicken and the wrap was loosely wrapped and torn so half the filling was falling out. I felt that the food was just thrown on the plate. There were also supposed to be cheese which was not in the wrap. The food was not great quality and not good in presentstion.
I would have thought that if your going to skip on the staple ingredient you will have to make it up by bulking it with salad. There were also nachos which were a little stale..
On the other hand the cuppachino was lovley and hot and served with a lotus buiscuit. The meal which was recieved by the people next to me looked OK and smelled nice...
I would have complained however I was quite pressed for time.
So I have given this 2 stars and hope the next time I visit it is a little better....
Read moreWhat a lovely evening. Another place that needs to be booked. This eatery opens for breakfast etc, again under current pandemic book, also opens Thursday and Friday evenings. As there is no alcohol licence bring your own, personally I like that, some may not but it is opposite a supermarket. The seating is plain, simple and clean, excellent 👌. The menu is also simple, with Gordon Ramsey on this, not too many items but good choices. They also cater for vegetarian and gluten free, make sure to ask if what you want is available to meet your needs. So why 5 stars? From the moment of arrival we were given a warm welcome. The staff were attentive, without being intrusive, answered questions clearly and seemed to enjoy what they were doing, which is always a good sign. The food and drinks, there is a selection of non alcoholic drinks, were well presented and enjoyable. This may not be the dimly lit, romantic setting to choose for a marriage proposal, yet for a good meal I would recommend that you give it a try. That said don't all rush, I want...
Read moreFound this place while delivering a car to a local dealership. This is a new venture run and owned by two lovely smiley ladies. The coffee is wonderfully tasty with deep caramel tones and it is one of the nicest coffees I have tasted recently. They serve teas as well and also panini's. The cake served here is very very good. Carrot cake here is recommended and is moist with a gorgeous texture. They sell items that are hand made locally such as a great line of treating cards, necklace and bangles ect. The shops furnishings are great with no two items matching. Chairs are all odd and the tables are each individual. Two nice leather lounge chairs near the doors and a wonderful church pew against the wall which finishes off the look of this place. The counter top was made from recycled scaffolding boards. All the design work put into this shop was by one of the girls here so her heart and soul has been put into this attractive coffee and cake shop. If your passing, nip in. It's relaxing and they have...
