Fantastic! My girlfriend and I had walked past this place before and I had commented about the previous café that was situated here, so I had to go see what it was like now.
Waiters were really friendly and were playing cool music, seems that they are doing some events in the future. Seems to be welcoming to all ages as families and elderly also came inside. General atmosphere was bright and fresh as there's loads of hanging plants. We had to sit at the side bar whilst we ordered, which is only suitable for coffee, as there are limited seating spaces inside. We had originally only entered to get a coffee and sit down but when we saw the lunch menu, we couldn’t say no to a little bit of munch. What’s even more pleasant, is that they continue to run the breakfast menu over lunch hours, wowzers. One of the best flat whites we've had in a while.
The seitan sub I had was okay, I would prefer if they had the option of brown bread as this tastes better. My girlfriend made a better choice than me. She ordered the vegan sausage patty sandwich, which if they make themselves which I think they do, was delicious. However, would prefer more red blood mary sowce as it was dry.
Would be nice if you could leave tips on the card machine for the great service. Will definitely come back again.
Was near closing time, were those fresh cookies on the...
Read moreWent here for coffee this morning, absolutely awful. The reasons I would dissuade you from going here include
Late service/rude staff- my friend ordered a BLT and was still waiting half an hour later. When asking a member of staff she was very rude and said "we're busy". Had to take it as a takeaway in the end as pushed for time. Not good enough.
DJ (?!) - there was a DJ playing records in the corner, way too loud for a coffee shop on a Sunday morning! Impossible to make any conversation. There were families with small children on other tables, so can't imagine this is what the majority of other patrons wanted either!
Items not as specified- ordered two slices of sourdough toast for £2.50, what came out was two slices of a white loaf that you can get from Tesco for 50p. Terrible. Additionally, the cakes on offer are just bulk bought from Costco, not in any way fresh (I would suggest if you want to fool more people maybe take them out of the original Costco packaging...)
The place was dirty - had to ask for our bench to be wiped clean, plates stacking up on the bar area that looked like they had been there for a while. Looked very sloppy.
The coffee itself was not good, would've got a better coffee from the shell garage...
Read moreFirst time there today. Sat for 10 mins at a table waiting for service. In the end my daughter went to bar and asked for menu, we were then told no food today as they had no chef. I get that but why didn’t no one tell me when I sat down? I asked this to the young woman behind the bar who abruptly told me they were not a cafe and only provided bar service. That’s OK but how was I to know that? It was our first (and last) time there. I suggested she should have told me that when I sat down at the table, but she was too busy on her phone and playing with her hair behind the bar. She then said sarcastically ‘OK I apologise’, it was said so insincere with a smirk on her face. All she had to do when she saw me sat at the table after a few minutes ‘hi just to let you know we only offer bar service here and unfortunately the chef is absent today so all we can offer is a hot drink’. I’d have said that’s fine, I’d have walked to the bar and ordered two coffees’ and would have went somewhere else for food. All I wanted was...
