Had been several times before but our last visit, a few weeks ago was a major disappointment not least as we took with us some friends who both work in hospitality. There was no welcome from the staff (on their phones) no gluten-free options left, indeed no food options other than toasties (which to be fair we're fine but not an option for a gf person) We asked for water and was told where we could find it. When we did we found the glasses were dirty. We asked for clean ones and they gave us new dirty ones. We pointed that out and were told they had been through the dishwasher so should be clean!

Read moreScandimania Coffee House in Stamford is the perfect place to go for a delicious cup of coffee and some freshly baked goodies.

Food wise, only tried their limited toasted sandwich menu (due to covid) but was not disappointed. Great mix of flavours, tasted fresh and very filling.
I also appreciate their packaging, which seemed to use minimal plastic and their incentive to not give cup lids as standard but rather indicate where they’re placed to reduce waste.
The only negative I’ve got about this place is the attitude of some (not all) of the staff which has come across very hostile, unhelpful and...
