What Estefania West doesn't like about People's Cafe:
I was at the weekend in Newport. we decided to get a cup of coffee and didn't want to die. we chose the Volks-Café. the location is fantastic and it is a beautiful building. but as soon as we got to the counter, we were disappointed by the service. the server seemed boring and as if they hadn't even listened to us. we ordered a hot tee and two laughs. we decided to sit down. the tee came out and it was hot! the first...

Affordable healthy options. We had a hard time finding it though. It’s under Lucia on the main road. Look for stairs that go down.

Got a lunch bowl. Rice was crunchy; definitely not cooked all the way thru. Half the sweet potatoes were so hard you couldn’t even get a fork in them. Very

The Volks-Café in Newport is a cozy spot for a cup of coffee, but many customers have expressed disappointment with the service. Some have reported issues with their orders not being fulfilled or mistakes being made. Despite this, the café offers a good selection of breakfast and lunch options, including vegetarian and vegan choices. The Drift cafe, on the other hand, has received high praise for its attention to detail in both food and service. The menu features healthy and delicious options, with in-house made ingredients that set it apart from other cafes in the area. While it may be a bit pricey, the quality seems to justify the cost for many customers. Overall, both cafes offer a different experience, with Volks-Café being more casual but with potential service issues, while Drift café provides a high-quality dining experience.
