Giovanni and Hido have provided me with amazing service every time I go to mama V's. They know my coffee order, are very responsive to disabilies in my personal experience. They are also warm and welcoming, even when I walk past I just want to go in for a chat and a drink. Also the coffee is amazing - I would go as far as to say it is the best I've had! Such a nice atmosphere also and everyone feels welcome in my experience. They see you as people and not just customers to make money off. An amazing gem of a place and worth a visit! Please try the iced coffee! It is amazing! Cannot recommend enough! I cannot praise Giovanni and Hido enough - they deserve a pay rise for the work they do! A lovely relaxing, welcoming environment. Thank you so much mama V's (particularly Hido and Giovanni) for making my mornings!
Mama V's is also dog friendly which adds to the general feeling of being welcome. Thank...

Read moreThe place was empty at lunchtime which, given its location, was a concern in itself. Service was transactional. I made the mistake of having a "full English". It was dreadful. Possibly the worst English breakfast I've ever had. A mound of greasy, congealed bacon, rubbery and tasteless sausages and a bit of lethargic sliced bread. The only passable item was the scrambled egg - they come scrambled by default and I wasn't offered a choice. A little pot of lukewarm orange gloop was served on the side - I think it was supposed to be the baked beans but the beans had gone AWOL. Coffee was fine but served lukewarm despite my request for it to be hot. Scores on the doors 3/10. Won't be back and...
