What User doesn't like about Waitrose Cafe:
I have visited other Waitrose cafes and they were fantastic, but this one was the complete opposite. It was truly terrible. I attempted to order something from the children's menu for my 3-year-old daughter, only to be told multiple times that they were out of ingredients and couldn't make it. My partner ordered the sweet soup, only to discover a hair in it when he started eating. The soup options were not written do... View all feedback. What User likes about Waitrose Cafe:

Every other Waitrose Cafe is welcoming and has reasonable choice this cafe represents an exemplar of how not to do it. The Staff are really not interested.

This cafe is consistently awful. There are regularly long queues and there seems no system for the staff behind the counter. If you like your bacon and sausage...

Travelling down A1, stopped off into Waitrose for lunch. Good size cafe with good selection of hot/cold food and drinks.

The Waitrose café experience can be a mixed bag, juggling between the highs of well-prepared meals and the lows of inefficient service. While some diners rave about the fresh offerings and friendly atmosphere, others recount frustrating delays and disorganization among the staff. Complaints about dirty tables, unavailable menu items, and unhelpful service highlight a pressing need for improved management and a more attentive team. On the upside, a clean environment and the popularity of items like the bacon sandwich and hot breakfast add to its appeal. It’s clear that while the café has potential, consistency in service is vital for a seamless dining experience.
