The croissant had a horrible taste, and when I brought this to the waitress's attention, she claimed it was from a different supplier and still charged me for it.

The croissants are tough and lack the flakiness expected. I was very let down considering it used to be a good place.

I also enjoy the fact that they open so early, as I only found them because they were the only cafe open on my way to work. I particularly like their oat milk latte, although depending on who's operating the coffee machine, the coffee ranges from poor tasting to exquisite! Luck of the draw on the day unfortunately. As I usually visit so early the staff are attentive and nice if not a little slow off the mark, but I cut them some slack as it is first thing in the morning. Would recommend.

Is it just me or should they be at least warm? This compounded misery I felt weeks before when buying 4 croissants and a couple of babychinos and being charged £15 for the pleasure. Had to actually return to check they'd charged me correctly as I was gobsmacked when I checked my change halfway down Chatsworth Road. This could be a great little cafe but with prices and quality of food like this it's only alienated me as a local resident.
