When I told the barista that this was not what I had ordered, they told me this was ' the bosses recipe ' for Latte Macchiato they were following. After some arguments that included the staff refusing to give me my money back as they were unable to supply the item I had ordered, they suddenly claimed they could produce a Latte Macchiato, whereupon I was served another Cafe Latte that had so little coffee in it it looked yellow and was still refused to be given my money back as this was apparently how the boss has taught them to make a Late Macchiato. For a shop that calls itself a specialty 'high end ' coffee shop in a country where Latte Macchiato is not only popular, but also widely sold, this is extremely disappointing, not to mention the poor service. Cannot recommend this place, and certainly won 't go there again.

On the positive side, the café itself is quite nice, and they offer a great variety of options on their menu. The quality of the food was generally good, and the atmosphere was pleasant. However, I encountered a serious issue that was very frustrating. I ordered the Four-Cheese Quiche, which was not marked as containing meat. As a vegetarian, I was shocked to find salami inside the quiche after taking a bite. For someone who doesn't eat meat, this is a major oversight. It’s incredibly important for ingredients like this to be clearly labeled to avoid such mistakes. It really ruined the meal for me, despite the rest of the food being tasty. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and improves their labeling, as I would have loved to enjoy the wide selection they offer without having to worry about hidden ingredients.
