Visited a couple of days ago at lunchtime and left hungry and hugely disappointed!! My latest experience here left me dumbfounded and I will not be going back! My first experience of the food here a few months back was mediocre at best! This time I didn't even get the chance to have any food! First of all, we received a very frosty reception. The man couldn't even be bothered to stand up from his chair so I could barely see him sitting behind the counter, in the dark, and he seemed strangely perplexed after we greeted him warmly with, "hello, how are you?". Im not sure I heard him say anything as a reply. Not a nice start. Especially as I have been waving and smiling at this man (the owner) as I am a local and pass his establishment almost daily. He has been friendly in the past (waving and smiling back) so I gave his lack of good mood and manners the benefit of the doubt and continued to look at the menu. I saw there was a panini on the menu with 'bacon, tomato and cheese'. I asked if I could have a BLT (bacon, tomato, lettuce). He promptly said. "That's not on the menu". I said, "well, couldn't you just omit the cheese and give me lettuce instead?". He rudely said, "Well, I will do it for you this time but don't ask me again". OMG! A cafe that prides itself on freshly made lunches and snacks and they won't swop a more expensive ingredient (cheese) for lettuce?? Hardly a big ask. No more effort required. But clearly it was too much trouble to do that for us. Far, far, far from good customer experience hence the one star. Needless to say, my friend and I promptly left, hungry, and we won't be back!
