    I was really sad to see Georgia go as I loved her food, however the new staff and menu have completely out done themselves I find myself all week looking forward to my Saturday morning breakfast and coffee. Very affordable, lovely staff and out of this world coffee/hot chocolates. Just had there big breakfast this morning and feel I have to roll out of the restaurant Im so full. Cannot fault these guys great job. 😁

    Food tasted like fish. Everything is cooked in the same oil the fish is which makes everything. They got order wrong, put the sides on the burger🤢. Too fishy

    The staff at the cafe are lovely, coffee is great, and the portion sizes are huge and delicious! There’s also plenty of room for kids and prams, and the kids’ play table is so useful when you need a coffee and have excited small people in tow. I’m so thrilled to have a decent local cafe nearby again!

    Orchid kitchen is my favourite cafe, that i have been coming to regularly for the last two years. Not only is the food truly exquisite. As a vegetarian i am really impressed by the range, among the meat dishes. Every vegetarian dish is very tasty& filling, the atmosphere is warm, inviting & spacious. Most of all the staff’s friendliness make you want to keep coming back.

    Great coffee, fantastic service, and really nice food. Only suggestion is to toast the game and cheese croissants for longer (filling was still cold).

  • 2/5 Jarrod B. 6 months ago on Google
    Nice service, but we waited for almost 30mins for our coffee (order was forgotten) and almost 50mins for our food (again was forgotten). Not much chorizo in the dishes and the beans were soggy and wet (felt rushed). Will come back for coffee but not food.

  • 5/5 Phill M. 8 months ago on Google

    The place was really nice and the setup really nice. Coffee Campos was good but the smoothie was abit weak on flavour and the cinnamon scroll was a little stale.

  • 5/5 Iris M. 4 months ago on Google
    Love everything about this cafe. Coffee is great ,and a great selection to chose from the menu. One of my favourite is the pancakes . Next time your in the area, make sure u pop in .

  • 1/5 Stephanie L. 9 months ago on Google
    Must have caught them on a bad day. Ordered at least 50 minutes ago and still waiting - watching people eat and leave who ordered after us. Tea came out in a lovely pot with a teabag where the tea leaves would sit in strainer with water level so low it barely touched the bag. One meal arrived and almost eaten with no sign of our other two meals. Hope it tastes good when it gets here.

    This place is a bit of a surprise. Not much from the outside but actually really great. Food is spot on and the service deserves special mention. They are always super accommodating, very pram friendly and you can tell they really care about customer. Good cheap b&e roll. And fab coffee for at oat milk drinker!

    Incomprehensible opening hours. Close whenever they feel like it. Google and their opening hours say they're open to 3pm today, but nope. Closed and barred. 3pm close the other day but barring the door at 213. I've given up going there. Coffee ok, (If you can get in the door) but they're slow baristas Update for today. Been standing here after ordering a couple of takeaways for 11 minutes, while the barista does anything except make coffee.

    Orchid kitchen is a great café for coffee and snacks. I have come here to eat, meet with friends, or work on my laptop a few times. They have Wi-Fi if you want to work. The fairy lights and spacious dining area make for a great atmosphere for working or bringing friends, especially mums of young children due to the ample space for prams. The staff are welcoming and helpful. They are very good about having kids around. They even have a new kids' play area they are developing with pram parking and a safety fenced play area (pictured). I love their coffee. Never disappointed.

    The milkshakes were really nice and not two sweet but just perfect the strawberry was the best

  • 2/5 Rachel O. 1 year ago on Google
    I like going to this cafe and order take away juices and food. The staff is lovely. However each time I have been intended to go lately, the cafe is closed. Even though Google says the cafe is open! It is very frustrating... Unfortunately, I won't attempt to go there again.

    Great food, friendly service, food came quick, reasonably priced. Menu didn’t say when breakfast finished, which was disappointing. Dog friendly outside, but noisy as near main road. Inside is pleasantly decorated.

👍 Best restaurant for South Indian dishes. Worth a try of Biryani. Tried Tandoori Soya today and it was the best I ever had here. Egg65 Biryani was so tasty. Crispy Baby corn was bad seemed like it was not fresh. You should not let your standards drop.
