•Where: @mousetailcanadawater @mousetailcoffee •Occasion: Work Meeting •What I ordered Sourdough bread with Jam & butter Sourdough bread with smoked salmon & goat cheese Hot chocolate •What I thought: Great small cafe, noticed it was for people having a work meeting or it was a pitstop for their journey as the cafe was right next to Canada Water station They provide a range of healthy, vegan & vegetarian dishes. They keep it quite simple when it comes to hot drink so it’s really easy to order. I tried smoked salmon but quickly realised that - this is not the dish for me. I can’t have ‘raw-ish’ fish

I enjoyed my simple breakfast of jam and butter. I loved how my butter just melts on the bread & the jam was super sweet 😋 I can’t believe I’m going to say this but the hot chocolate was much better than Costa’s. It was fresh, thick and milky just how I like it!

The staff were super friendly, calm and smiley. You really feel welcome throughout the whole experience...

We ordered a coffee and two pastries, a sourdough cinnamon bun and a ham and cheese croissant. The cinnamon bun tasted unpleasant, the sourdough aspect tasted too sour, possibly over-proofed. The croissant was supposed to be served warm but this was not warmed up while we were waiting to pick up our coffee. When our coffee was ready, we asked for the status of the croissant and the staff clearly forgot we ordered one which was fine. Instead of warming up one for us, she put it in the paper bag, touched it externally and said to herself "it's warm enough" which was not the case.

As I said in the beginning I understand that business could be a factor for some of the issues above but when you are charging £4+ for a pastry/croissant, quality control and service should be kept to a...
