Amazed by the positive reviews. Stopped in for breakfast today... Coffee was good, but food took ages, arriving a solid 10 minutes after we had leisurely finished our coffees. The long wait was particularly puzzling as NOTHING (sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs) is cooked from scratch, but rather heated up in one three microwaves. I think even the bagels themselves were just microwave defrosted, rather than toasted.
The £9(!) Mexican Scramble Bagel arrived with chorizo despite ordering a veggie version. At least they didn't charge us for that.. One staff member was apologetic for serving meat to a vegetarian, but the older lady (the main microwave chef) just rolled her eyes when I said we didn't have time for them to try making the order again as we had a train to catch.

Highly recommended for refreshments in Inverness...

Two people got their money refunded, but the third did not—because she had already eaten about 70% of her bagel. The very fact that money was refunded confirms that the staff admitted their fault. Yet there were no apologies or explanations whatsoever.
Apart from this situation: the concept is weak, the food bland, the drinks mid, and the...
