Made my first visit to The Coffee House, Longton, this morning, and I have to say I'm extremely impressed.
It is a very clean, comfortable and modern establishment that really sticks out in it's surroundings, very comfortable seating arrangements, It has that "trendy" upmarket feel to it, whilst keeping it's core roots and values of community at it's forefront.
The server was a real credit to the business, very polite and attentive, making conversation, explaining all the options available to me, and I was served promptly and efficiently.
As it was my first visit here, I indulged myself with a breakfast wrap, which was incredible, Hot fresh and super delicious.
There was a decent selection of hot/cold sandwiches/baguettes/wraps, cakes, biscuits and pastries available for the sweet and savoury tooth & health intolerant and/or other personal preference.
The pricing, I was expecting to be at the top end of the scale for an establishment of this quality, but I was pleasantly surprised, with my breakfast and a pot of Tea coming in at just over £6.50
There is a reward scheme in place for the die hards, but the fact you have to have a debit/credit card linked to the rewards app to collect stamps didn't sit well with me so I didn't bother. Also the free medium sized drink after collecting 10 stamps can only be redeemed as take-away which I rarely do so for me this is something that can and should be improved down the line, To cater for those who would like to sit in and relax.
Overall, this is exactly what Longton has been needing for some time, and finally, now it is here, it has not disappointed. A fantastic addition to the area and one I hope that can continue to build and be successful. The only blemish being the rewards scheme as i mentioned above.
Hopefully, be a benchmark for other eateries looking to set up shop in the town centre...

Read moreNever been here before, so thought I'd give it a try. All started off well. Until I went to chase up where my brownie was, I asked this big women serving coffee to check, she growled at me and went have you got a receipt. I said no, but I can tell you what I've ordered and you'll be able to see via your till system. She then snapped and went ill have to make sure you paid for it! So I told her what I ordered and how much it came to. She asked the guy who served me he said he'd forgotten, she was very nice to him. And then looked at me and said there you go!
I then asked the same lady not long after if the toilets were in use. She pointed at them and went clearly.
I'm sorry but I work in retail and her attitude was shocking! She needs to sort her manner out. Especially for a...
