Description

Nestled within a library, Mousetail Coffee has emerged as a mixed bag of experiences. While some patrons praise the friendly service and excellent coffee, others express dissatisfaction with both hygiene standards and customer service. Complaints include unfulfilled requests, unsanitary conditions, and noise levels disrupting the library's tranquil atmosphere. However, many appreciate the inviting selection of healthy food, particularly the daily salads and delicious banana bread. Striking a balance between cozy café vibes and breezy efficiency, Mousetail remains a popular stop for coffee lovers, though it may not cater to all visitors' expectations.

I quickly stopped by Mousetail for a cup of coffee, based on a friend's recommendation. The service was fast and friendly, and the coffee was excellent. The seating area was busy, so I opted for a takeaway. In my opinion, this is the best coffee in the area. I will definitely be coming back!

I don't see the point in pretending to care about what the customer wants and then completely ignoring their requests. After asking for my coffee to be served hot, I was told that everyone has a different definition of "hot" when it wasn't. This was the last straw for me. I had already experienced a request for sweetener instead of sugar being brushed off as unusual, and witnessed a staff member signaling for a customer to come to the counter to pick up their food instead of having it brought to their table. I decided to leave and found a cafe on the High Street that actually caters to their customers and offers sweeteners.

I recently stopped by the mobile coffee stand located in the courtyard. The coffee was expertly brewed with high-quality beans. The service was fast and the barista was very friendly.

The pastries were ok and the place is cool. The orange juice was the best I have tried in England. Recommended
