Jimmy and the Bee — Restaurant in London

Really not in the business of giving negative reviews - particularly in the difficult economic climate, especially for hospitality. But I entered the cafe today, fifteen minutes before closing time and with plenty of customers still with food and drink - and politely signalled that I wanted to use the toilet before buying something, so the proprietor didn’t think I was just trying to use the loo. He informed me somebody was in there to which I responded I was happy to wait.

What followed was one of the most bizarre episodes of my life, where he completely lost the plot for no apparent reason and began screaming at me repeatedly in front of all the customers present that they were closed. If he didn’t want my business, he could have just said that rather than saying something which was patently untrue.

One of the most hostile cafes i have ever been to. The main male waiter is extremely rude and should take some lesson on how not to speak to people no menu was given when seated. when ordering he was moaning due to how big our order was. myself and my friend ordered two drinks. he made me walk over to collect my drink but brought my friend's drink over to the table and did the same thing with the food. by shouting ' ah excuse me' to get my attention to collect my food . the restaurant was empty, his other lovely colleague made sure she brought our other food and did not make me leave my seat once. he done this due to his own prejudices. it is deeply upsetting we spent £40 in this horribly overpriced establishment for bitter coffee and dry salad. please avoid and spend your money on the other lovely cafe around the area. as i would rate this the...

Nice place and good coffee but the tall waitress thinks it’s ok to hold her stomach and joke (apropos of nothing) ‘I’m pregnant and I’m gonna name it abortion…because I’m gonna abort it’ to customers. When I told her she should be wary joking about a subject which may be a sensitive subject for some people, she replied ‘Why? You’re not pro-choice are you? I’ve aborted one before… I just think it’s funny because you’re a man, you don’t have a uterus…that’s very millennial and old fashioned’ before wrinkling her nose and sarcastically saying ‘sorry I hurt your feelings’

It was an extremely unpleasant and unnecessary exchange delivered with an extremely ugly attitude.

I can only imagine the ire I would have faced had I triggered or offended the waitress in question and her own beliefs.

There’s no need to be so hostile...
