  “Was excited to try this place out with my sisters. Went in and the vibes were ok... the bakery section was open and the trollies with the baked goods were exposed so there was huge flies flying around, it was hot so I get that there will be that issue with any food place but I feel like measures could have been put in place to prevent flies walking all over the food. Staff didnt seem bothered by it and were very nonchalant. The tables had open pots of sugar and spoons for customers to use so people were obviously double dipping into their drinks, stirring and then putting the spoon back into the sugar pot, the sugar was lumpy and damp looking.”

  “Truly great value. Probably should be charging more but certainly very happy they aren't. My breakfast brunch bun was delicious! In fact it was so big I couldn't finish it. Trust me I wanted to! Very friendly staff. Fresh food. The place doesn't look much from the outside. A bit like an old factory, but once you walk in it's fab. I'll certainly be back and have already recommended it to friends. See you next time I'm visiting in. Loughborough xx”

  “Got the Public plate, very disappointing. Cauliflower and squash was hard, not at all roasted. Barely any feta or dressing. Sourdough was toasted on one side and arrived with a hard slab of butter on top, the leftovers I put in the tiny jar that came for the milk. My partner had the smoked beef brisket from the summer menu. The beef was so tough, he couldn't get a knife through and chewing it was a chore. Real let down, won't be coming back here but have had good experiences at the Mountsorrel and Leicester branches instead. Very loud in there as with the other branches due to bare walls and little soft furnishings. Couldn't hear the server at the till or when they came to the table with food.”

  “Waffles and banana bread were pretty good. Americano and flst white were good but oat flat white was too milky and had an unpleasant UHT aftertaste which was a shame. Otherwise friendly staff and nice place.”

  “Very average place. The high ceiling is the only good thing about it. The food is very average and overpriced. Not tasty. Ordered 5 drinks which came within 10 minutes. ordered 4 toasties, 1 came 15 minutes after the drinks. The other 3 toasties came after 30 minutes. Staff are not very welcoming. Very busy though, not sure why as the food isn't that great. Would not be returning.”

  “Mega busy which is a good sign! Queue nearly outside. Food divine. Took a while to come but fresh food made to order always does and it was well worth the wait. All Staff great. Finn served us and was absolutely brilliant. All staff constantly on the go organising & serving but they all clearly love their jobs as they oozed happy vibes despite being rushed off their feet. The place was vibrant and we will definitely be going again.”

  “We had breakfast at Public & Plant, and it was simply an amazing experience. The matcha was absolutely delicious, with a very unique flavor. The croissants were incredible – I had a strawberry croissant, which was perfectly soft and full of flavor. I also tried a carrot cake that was rich and beautifully balanced in taste. We will definitely be coming back!”

  “Public Coffee in Loughborough has a great, youthful energy; lots of students, people coming in after workouts, and a generally cool, relaxed crowd. The place was buzzing and even though it’s quite large, there was still a long line at the counter, which says a lot about how popular it is. The food was the real highlight. The sourdough with avocado and poached eggs was absolutely fantastic. Seriously one of those dishes that makes you say “we’re coming back tomorrow,” which is exactly what we’re doing. The baked goods in general looked (and tasted) top-tier. Coffee is good, though maybe not world-class. They seem to be so busy that they can barely keep up with brewing, so you might wait a bit for your cup, but honestly the vibe makes up for it. Atmospherically the place is great: a beautiful space with a cool, young, slightly chaotic energy that somehow works perfectly. Definitely a spot we’ll return to.”

  “The matcha with coconut milk was lovely! I tried the new cauliflower and hummus option & the hot honey really elevated the flavours, making it absolutely delicious. My cousin had the chicken focaccia, which was also fantastic (I had to try)! We took croissants home and they didn’t fail to impress either. Great taste and perfect texture. I especially loved the berry croissant. Definitely worth a visit and the staff are so friendly and kind!”
