  “The smallest flat white I've ever had in a coffee shop in the UK. More like a Spanish cafe con leche although tinderbox charge £3.95 not €1.20!! And it wasn't even that nice. Would never return or recommend”

  “Coffee given was far too hot, burnt tongue upon trying it. Left it for 20 minutes and still too hot when it accidentally spilled. Upon coming back the staff was not very customer focussed, stated I had to pay for another drink. They made excuses that there is a warning on the cup for it being to hot but no coffee should be undrinkable for 20 minutes. Apparently the coffee machine makes the coffee too hot which shows the barista inexperience. All other coffees before have been fine and the one after too. Staff tried to make excuses rather than accept coffee was hot or simply offer customer a drink. I did pay but the attitude and carefree staff had no discretion and other cafes often make a new drink regardless. The staff looked disinterested and more wanted to stand there ground. First drink was completely unsatisfactory as coffee should not be undrinkable do 20 minutes, milk tasted burnt too.”

  “Went in for cake and coffee and received lovely service. Our cakes were a bit dry, a hazard of open cabinets and going late in the afternoon, I guess, but the staff were very helpful.”

  “It was a 4-5 star but they’ve since switched to a new supplier that makes the most tasteless sandwiches you can imagine and they’ve also upped the price AND remove the crisps and mayo as part of the meal deal. I’m afraid my business there is done.”

  “Been coming to this Tinderbox location for some time and have always been pleased with the service. Today however, the service won them a review. I placed my order at the counter and as the man was about to give me the buzzer he said “wait never mind. You go sit and relax and I’ll bring it to you”, because I had my sleeping baby in the stroller with me. To the man who attended me, thank you for going above and beyond. Being so attentive is exactly what customer service is about. It really meant so much to me. I also recommend their cheese and tomato sauce focaccia with their delicious mayo dip.”

  “Visited today 9/1/25 for first time.Nice good quality coffee and great selection of cakes and sandwiches- nice chilled interior. Friendly staff serving. Like the ordering system where you take a seat and they give you a handset which lights and vibrates when your order is ready. Saves standing about while your order is prepared.”

  “Let’s start with the coffee. It’s not good at all. I found my latte to have a very burnt taste. 2 sugars later and I still couldn’t drink it. The cakes were awful. I know they don’t make the cakes as it says in the window they buy them in. They really should get a new supplier. The gypsy cream/ ginger but cookie was very soggy and had a very raw ginger taste. The Cannoli were brick hard and inedible. The caramel apple betty was soggy bottomed but tasted decent enough and that was ok. The cutlery however was minging. Everything was dirty. They maybe need to clean the dishwasher out as that kind of put us off.”

  “This is a great coffee shop with awesome snack options. Not too expensive either. Well worth a look if you happen to be in the area.”

  “Great range of sweets and drinks, helpful and friendly staff – made a drink for me that was not on the menu upon request. However, cakes were served rather warm despite being taken out of the fridge and most of the tables still had leftovers on them, so wasn't the tidiest.”

  “Floor was filthy, no attempt to clean up, general cleanliness of the tables was poor. Coffee was ok if not a little bit strong , cakes we're good. Could do better.”
