What Alexander Marks doesn't like about The Place To Eat:
For such a lovely store it is a shame the cafe is a let down. Surly unhelpful staff and poor coffee it needs modernising, less canteen like and brought into line with the ethos of the store. View all feedback. What 190nellac likes about The Place To Eat:
Visited cafe yesterday. We had the smoked salmon and cream cheese bagels. The bagel was a bit soft. Tea was OK . Very busy I assume because of the tiny cafe at the new M and S in Liverpool 1. Staff friendly as always. Only criticism is that they have the sandwiches at a separate kiosk to the cakes. The hot food is at a third kiosk. View all feedback.

I had higher expectations from John Lewis. I met some friends for lunch today and ordered the tomato soup with basil. The soup was thin and lukewarm, and the br...
