While some patrons have enjoyed the cozy atmosphere, quality coffee, and a range of tasty food options, others have expressed frustration with service inconsistencies and an overly cautious approach to food allergies. Critics point out issues like misunderstanding dietary needs and uncommunicative staff. However, the café’s commitment to inclusivity and training young, vulnerable individuals adds a unique touch. As it continues to evolve, it aims to create a welcoming environment, balancing efficiency and sensitivity to all guests.
Very nice cafe with friendly staff. Good selection of food and drinks at good prices. Plenty of seating and very clean.
Wow I attempted to have a breakfast and a cup of coffee and it was a disaster. Initially they didn 't do breakfast so I settled for a sandwich and a coffee, the coffee arrived and it looked like warm dirty water and tasted nothing like coffee. After asking it was confirmed they had forgot to put the beans in the grinder therefore I was drinking water and coffee remnants, the second cup came and it looked like dirty dishwasher water and tasted metallic, I politely said forgot the coffee. Surprisingly a third cup came out no lie I was told I have tried to coffee and it 's nice I drank from this side of the cup therefore you drink from this side WOW WOW WOW!! As if providing two cups of water wasn 't enough, now they actually drink from customers cups and TELL then customer, sorry this is a massive no no and has massive hygiene implications.
