Lucy's - Mansfield

Went here for some lunch, not been to Mansfield before walked past Lucy’s and it looked nice so wondered in. Felt a bit empty and dreary but went to sit down the only 4 seater table had a reserved sign on it and the rest were 2 seaters (there was 3 of us). Turned around and the waitress said we can sit there regardless of the reserved sign. Firstly noticed the tables were VERY sticky and another couple in the cafe commented on this as in unappealing. No menus on the table all the food was on some chalk boards on the wall, not a lot of food options at all. As soon as we sat down the waitress awkwardly asked to take our order even though we hadn’t even looked at menus yet. We quickly ordered, was disappointed to find out they offer no alternative milk so my friend with a dairy allergy couldn’t have any hot drinks. Ordered a jacket potato with chilli and cheese, there was barely any cheese on it so I asked for some more politely to which I got told by the waitress the boss has said I need to pay 85p extra for cheese and that they did put some on but it’s just melted so you can’t see it. I challenged her as there was barely any cheese on it to start with, but she didn’t say anything and the whole conversation was very uncomfortable so I just said never mind. After this the waitress went straight into the back clearly to tell the boss what I said and then the boss the waitress and another guy all came and stood behind the bar and basically was side eyeing me throughout the rest of my meal. The whole experience was very uncomfortable and to top it off there were bits floating in my coffee (not very clear pic attached) tried to stir them to get them to dissolve but more jest kept appearing so didn’t finish it. As I was paying I just felt like I was being stared at and judged all for asking for a bit more cheese. Under no circumstances will me or my friends return here again.

It’s been years since I last went to Lucy’s and it always used to be amazing. However. I went last week and it seems so have lost its sparkle. There was no menus on the table, all on a black board. Wasn’t a large selection. The coffee was very weak and tasted burnt. Jacket potato was lovely however came with a tiny amount of side salad which was a shame. Service was quick, felt a little rushed to order though. Shame as this used to be a gem! Possibly under new ownership?

Not been here in years ! So poss new owners ?? Jacket potatoes are still very good . Felt a bit rushed to order, yet on 3 other tables filled . It’s a bit soulless , needs a bit of warmth adding to the place . Very basic . Shame really . Coffee was weak and seemed cheap ! Sorry

I was expecting a lot more in terms choices on the menu. Soup was good and panini was enjoyable. It weren't the best cafe that I have ever been to but it was alright. Tea was poorly made though but service was alright.

Called in today for a coffee after my hairdressers appointment. Lady owner was very friendly. The cafe was immaculately clean and very well organised. Enjoyed my coffee sitting in the window. Will definitely return.
