My wife is currently on a fat free diet and was interested to see that you could get an oat milk latte. We ordered it along with an Americano and a roll and sausage for me, took the order number tab and went to our seats. A few minutes later the waitress came out and said there was no oatmilk and would coconut or soya milk do? My wife ordered soya milk but was surprised that they didn't know they had no oatmilk when she took our order. The coffees arrived followed quickly by the roll and sausage. My wife said the oatmilk latte wasn't very hot and could the waitress provide a hotter one. She replied that was the temperature it came out at.

Needless to say, I will not be...

No physical menu to browse, all on the touch screens, trellis thingy up at "till" area like a barrier, no cakes/scones on show either. The atmosphere was terrible and sad really. Tesco cafes are not fast food restaurants, they are welcoming friendly cafes and it's lost that now. I assume this is to save on staff wages and costs? Food and staff remain lovely but the ordering system is just shocking really. It's lost that friendly welcoming atmosphere and this change is alienating a generation that avoid technology and seek out actual human...
