Staff very friendly and welcoming, coffee and vegan cake was delicious but the food was a massive let down. Asked for scrambled eggs on toast, got pretty much omelettes instead. Slice of sourdough is extremely thin and dry with no butter - salmon on the side must be the expensive type because we got two small slices barely proportionate to the amount of egg and toast - not to mention the taste was horrible. I think if they will make scrambled egg and salmon, they should use generic smoked salmon slices instead of trying to put appearance and price over taste. Coming from a couple who had the wacka smoked salmon and scrambled egg on toast religiously. All in all, we were charged £32 (insane) for two lattes, a cake slice and the two sourdoughs with egg and salmon. At wacka this used to be an average of £18-20. Either we were overcharged or the menu does not make it clear at all which is something they need to improve. £6.50 without sides, or £9 with a side, or did we get charged £18 for 4 pieces of salmon?! Not the staff fault, the company itself needs to do better if they want to fill in the shoes of wacka which was loved...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreThe coffee and food at DropShot are genuinely among the best in Wimbledon. What really sets this place apart, though, is the staff ā some of the kindest and most accommodating people you'll meet. After breaking my knee last year, my mobility was limited, but I still needed to get out and about. The team ā Adam, Lili, Martha, Monica, Rachel, Ginye, Irena, and Eros (the chef) ā made a huge difference in helping me stay sane during a tough period. I canāt thank them enough. Thereās always a great atmosphere, a real buzz, and consistently excellent coffee.
I usually donāt leave reviews, but Iāve been meaning to write one for DropShot for a while. I happened to be there during the incident mentioned in Charlotteās one-star review, and I saw things unfold very differently. The cafĆ© was extremely busy (it was Easter Monday), and the staff handled everything with professionalism - despite being treated quite unfairly by an entitled customer. That experience reminded me how much this team deserves...
   Read moreOrdered mushrooms on toast with a fried egg and coffee. Was charged £19.15 for it. Asked the server how it was so expensive and she realised her mistake, enlisting a colleague's help to rectify the situation. I was told I had been refunded but wasn't informed how much the refund was. Sat down. Coffee arrived. I had originally ordered milk on the side. But obviously the milk wasn't there and I was asked if I wanted milk. Coffee was tepid, tasteless, and there wasn't much of it. The food arrived. Thought I was getting the mushrooms and butternut squash on toast (as listed on the menu) but I just got the mushrooms. Didn't realise I had to specify each ingredient to make sure I got the dish I wanted. I also got two fried eggs when I only wanted one. Eggs had an almost solid yolk. By this point I wasn't interested in a back and forth with the staff. So I finished my food and left. Not recommended,...
