Cafe

🫤 Well I'm disappointed with their hygiene standards and as in the grounds of a hospital. The woman serving was constantly on her mobile and then opened the cover of the milk with her blooming mouth. WHAT. When I challenged her she replied "well I had to open it. Completely oblivious to what she did.... People often mention coffee, service, staff, toastie,

    Had the worst flat white coffee ever. Cold and very milky. The toasted chicken and chorizo was unpleasant. So expensive for poor quality food and service. Will rather stay hungry next time than waste money

    Mean unfriendly staff not a welcoming eatery wont be using again. Dry toastie barely there cheese. Thick coffee poor service overall. If staff dont like public/people work elsewhere simples!!!

    I had to go from the antenatal department to Muffine Break to get myself some lunch. I waited ages for a tuna toastie. Not only that but a vanilla frapp I ordered too - the guy who made it showed it to his boss (in front of me) saying “I think that’s how you make it!” When the tuna toastie arrived I was happy to just leave as I had been there ages. I should have checked the toastie before I left, when I got back to antenatal and took it out if he bag I noticed that it was burnt all on one side!!!! These people have Serious customer service issues - especially the manager who refused to give me a sandwich/toastie bag so that I am not eating out of the carry bag! Rediculous! I’ll remeber to get lunch from outside next time!

    Very poor experience. Staff very friendly but I am coeliac and asked for a gluten free muffin. They assured me it was gluten free and I bought it. Ate it the next day and spent the afternoon vomiting with severe stomach pains. Called Muffin Break and they apologised and said they had sold me the vegan muffin by mistake! Told my husband they would investigate and call back but of course they didn’t. Do not trust their knowledge of gluten free!!

    My experience here was not great. - Coffee was awful - No vegan food options at all - Found their muffins very bland and dry - No comfy seating at all On the plus side, the staff were polite.

    The muffins aren't great, but the cookies are good. The coffee is decent and they have paninis that look ok

    Friendly service and a decent coffee and pain au chocolat, even if the price was a little steep.

    Asked for warm tuna wrap and cheese toastie. Both were cold when served. Coffee was sub standard. Not a great place.

    I gave 3 stars just because muffins. Muffins are very tasty and good. Very fresh blueberry muffins. I ordered flat white the lady who work as barista gave me different coffee. Coffee’s taste was so bad.

    Coffee was good, friendly staff but level of hygiene 0 Really really dirty, everything was smelly , oily and greasy. Not good for an hospital cafè.

    Awful macchiato - always just a blob of airy white bubbles on top. Awful flat white - too milky and bland! They Only got it right once!

    Ordered online and will not be ordering again. Salmon bagel was stale and hard and possibly out of date
