Customer Review Summary
Coffee is what most reviewers bring up, from a quick cup to takeaway coffees and buns, with one calling the coffee great. Close behind are the sandwiches, described as generously portioned for a good price, and a soup one diner found delicious. Staff come up repeatedly as friendly, chatty and polite, and a few reviewers mention fast service and a community feel. Two reviewers had a poor experience. One who came with a partner and two young children reports no toilets, no card machine and a bad attitude from workers when raising concerns. Another describes being told they could sit, having an order taken, and then being left without further attention. A busy spell meant one diner waited for food, and a mistake with another order was put right the same way, with a free coffee handed over to make up for it.
