What johnandrachel doesn't like about The Reading Cafe:
The food is ok and the drinks are cold (aside from the hot-one of course). The only down side is the staff. They took and age to serve us and everyone who came before and after us. Granted it was a weekend, but come one.... View all feedback. What Dani Mohamed Haso likes about The Reading Cafe:

The Rowntree Park Reading Cafe offers a mixed experience, with ok food and cold drinks, but slow service being a common complaint. Despite a great location and excellent chef, disappointing service and somewhat high prices overshadow the experience for many customers. However, the cafe remains a favorite for some locals who appreciate the warm atmosphere, good food, and lovely views over the park. Overall, the cafe has potential but needs to address issues with service and pricing to truly shine.
