The Cookie Bar — Restaurant in Waverley

Went with my partner for lunch, we ordered two paninis, two hot drinks and two cookies. The service was pleasant enough and the building itself has a nice, relaxed vibe inside. Some interesting things are available to buy there such as mugs, cushions, fancy tea etc (although quite overpriced but I believe some or most of this goes to a good cause). The food was OK, both of our paninis came out quickly, but weren't put in the press for long enough- still soft and not hot enough, quickly going cold. We both just ate ours fast as we were hungry. The side salad was average and I would've liked the option of a salad dressing if available. Moreover, my partner is a meat eater and I am vegetarian. I only had one option for a panini, whereas he had a fair few. I would've preferred other options. However, we came in just after lunch when there was a big rush of people so this is understandable. The cookies and the hot drinks were lovely! I would definitely come again but next time would just come in for the sweet treats, the relaxed sit down and a cup of coffee. Not too bothered...

After our car Broke down on the A3 a long way from home and weather was so terrible a very kind man stopped and dropped my family at the cookie bar and what can I say the kindness they showed us was unbelievable I had my 6 year old twins and 2 dogs with us I asked if they’d allow my girls to sit out of the wind and rain while I waited outside with the dogs the manager took us all in dogs and all and him and the staff were amazing the lovely lady gave the girls paper and pens to draw and in general were just so accommodating in every way. As a bonus this little place is a real gem lovely food and drinks and our sandwiches we had were amazing would definitely love to come back and would highly recommend. Thank you again guys your kindness has really touched me and can’t tell you how great full I...

What a wonderful experience. Great family friendly place with a small play area at the back to keep the little ones busy while u enjoy great tea/coffee with some brilliant paninis and cakes. And yes, great portion sizes too! I enjoyed my brie panini while Mrs went for chicken Tikka and the litlle one relished his ham n cheese. The Victoria sponge slice was a great way to finish the afternoon tea. Thanks Debbie for a wonderful...
