What User doesn't like about Joan's Coffee Shop:
Went to my favourite charity place, Emmaus, where as a pensioner , usually I can find a little treasure or two, but found the prices had become seriously inflated! a (as expensive as BHF and other charity's, surely donated goods don't go up with inflation? Dealers aside, Emmaus will end up being full of stuff that no one will buy and then the charity will suffer...surely a quick turnover is vital for the Homeless cau... View all feedback.

This local café offers a quirky blend of culinary delights and eclectic décor, reminiscent of a flea market or antique shop. While the atmosphere remains inviting with outdoor seating and a cozy environment, recent feedback indicates some inconsistencies in food quality and service. Although some dishes, like the BLT baguette and cakes, receive praise, others have disappointed patrons with longer wait times and limited menu options. Additionally, staff attitudes fluctuate, affecting the overall experience. Despite these issues, many appreciate the café’s affordability and its commitment to community work, making it a mixed but ultimately memorable destination.

Tables not clean and mushroom soup poor, no need to microwave roll. Good cakes. A good place to visit if they keep the hygiene standards up.
