About Ori Caffe
Ori Caffe is a cafe on Broad St in Reading, set inside a shopping centre and open daily. The menu pairs Mediterranean-style artisan sandwiches, including a tuna melt and a tricolore, with fresh pastries and a mango and passion fruit cake. Breakfast and lunch options are served, along with healthy salads. Sparkling prosecco cocktails sit alongside the coffee and hot drinks list, so a lunch with friends can include something other than coffee. The seating areas have tables for meeting friends. When the cafe is busy, there can be a wait.

Customer Review Summary
The complaints are mostly about consistency. Sandwiches draw criticism, with a tuna melt described as not really toasted and a tricolore with no butter that looked past its best. One reviewer found a salmon bagel stale and the food overpriced, and another wanted cheaper cakes. One reviewer says a staff member's loud voice, including a job interview held at a table, spoiled the quiet they came for. Another says drinks were left at the table's edge, and one reports a mug with lipstick on it and no sugar free drink options.

“I like going to the Ori Cafe as it has a nice atmospher. it's a nice place to meet our friends for catch ups. They all work so hard and are helpful & friendly. Sometimes you might have to wait a while but that is only because it's busy, no problem for me.”

“The Ori Cafe is lovely & friendly. My husband & I normally go in for coffee on our own or to meet our friends.....sometimes we have something to eat. There is a new manager there who is so friendly & welcomes every one. I find the staff are also very nice & helpful......they all work so hard. I sometimes have some cake which are lovely but I would like to see some cheaper ones. It is definitely our go to place for coffee”

“Very disappointing sandwiches, Tuna melt with mozzarella and pickled onions, not really toasted and not very tasty either. And a Tricolore sandwich, no butter, looked a bit past its best. I thought it would be better in John Lewis”

“While the food was good for fairness, the service was below expectations. The drink served by the lady were left at the edge of the table rather than being properly served. The gentleman who served the food was respectful and seemed knowledgeable. However, the overall quality of service could be improved.”
