"Had ham and cheese toastie & Tuna toastie and cappuccino was delicious"

"Sadly not a good experience today. Ordered two Tuna Melts at the counter which got lost on their way to the kitchen a foot away. Ordered at about 2pm & they arrived about forty minutes later (shortly before closure at 3pm) after loads of full English breakfasts went to other tables, some of which were ordered after we did. Bit frustrating when waiting for a Toastie that takes two minutes to make. Didn't get a hello on arrival, menus delivered to the table in silence. Food was rushed when it arrived so was barely toasted, tasted like cheddar in it rather than mozzarella as stated on the menu. Missing order not spotted until we chased which didn't show a great deal of care or oversight from (what I assume was) the senior member of staff whom I placed the order with. Overall there seemed to be a very young group of staff on who needed better supervision & probably training. At one point there were around four or five tables (out of about twelve/thirteen total) that needed clearing but this didn't seem to be on the radar of the front of house member of staff at all who wasn't busy. The first empty table we sat at had been cleared but not wiped down with crumbs left all over it, the second one felt sightly sticky like it needed a wash down. God knows how things go when there are a lot of coffee orders which are time intensive. It had apparently been "busy in the kitchen" but the place was only half full so this seemed to be more a problem with how long all the fryups take to make. The error wasn't explained very well by the young FOH staff member (inexperienced or needed better training) who gave us some complimentary loyalty drink cards as compensation. If I had to guess, the owner/manager had likely dodged working the bank holiday or left early. There was an constant unpleasant smell of cooking oil which clung to clothes afterwards."

"Came in to the cafe because I saw it on my way back from my meetings, everything looked really nice and the lady that served me was nice too. After I ordered I sat next to the door to do some work on my laptop. As soon as I got set up a man shouted across and said laptop area is over there. Didn’t question it so I just moved. Fast forward about 10 minutes, when he came over to give me my coffee I POLITELY asked him if I could move because the stools didn’t support my back and I have a back injury. He replied ‘no, this area is for the laptops and I can’t treat you any different to anyone else’. I didn’t even ask Carry on asking if I could move, I only asked ‘how come’. Anyways, I told him there was no need to be rude to me, I was only asking a question. Food came, tasted bad as I could feel his eyes at the corner of my head staring at me every time he walked passed. Left a lot of food on my plate so I could leave"

"Great coffee shop with lots of choice not just of coffee but tea and cold drinks. Food menu is extensive with interesting items rather than the run of the mill cafe menu. Service was friendly although the food took a long time to come despite not being busy. But at the end of the day I'd rather wait for freshly cooked well made tasty food than microwave warm ups! Would definitely recommend and will be back when out that direction again."

"Coffee was amazing had the hearty breakfast 7/10 was disappointing, lukewarm beans, quite fatty and lighty done bacon and half of medium sized mushroom when the menu stated mushrooms. That said the eggs, toast and sausage were tip top!! This is why I had to score a 7 instead of a 8 or 9. This will not stop me visiting again, just maybe order an alternative breakfast."
