Ordered a mocha. It’s really good!
Full bodied, not too bitter, not too sweet and not too milky
Just nice, thank you!

Came here for a business coffee chat! Very warm and cosy environment with lots of customers. The staff who served me was very friendly and polite and brought my order without a long wait. I got their seasonal Biscoff latte (Lotus biscuit) which was delicious paired with the super soft chocolate brownie she warmed up for me accordingly. My friend got the apple juice which was so natural tasting and the perfect amount of sweetness. Very happy 😊

This place used to be awesome but over the last year the quality of the food has been awful. Staff are great. A month ago I ordered a sausage roll, came to the table burnt to a crisp, took it back, the 2nd one slightly less burnt but very dried out. I went in today and ordered a spinach and feta roll. Lovely guy asked if I wanted it heated and butter. Yes I did. Usually when you order these things from any café they are heated and you get a pack of butter. This one was sliced diagonally and toasted. Dry as a bone and of course No Butter!. Totally inedible. FYI, heating these for 40 seconds in the microwave is sufficient. They should be moist and warm. Coffee on the other hand was truly spectacular. Not ordering food from here ever again, just Coffee

I love the consistency of coffee culture coffee around the city. A lovely experience here with a good space, nice light and seating. Good service & a nice clean venue.i have visited many times forum the tour de coffee culture but this was my first time purchasing.
First fluffy free for kids has always been a highlight too.

I have been coming to this café for many years as it is right near my home. However, my recent experience was extremely disappointing and uncomfortable.
It seems the staff has changed recently, and I was served by a middle-aged Asian man I had never seen before. I want to be clear that this has nothing to do with race — I am Asian myself. I grew up here, and I believe my English and accent are clear enough for a very simple café order.
For some reason, he seemed unable or unwilling to understand almost everything I said. Every sentence I spoke had to be confirmed multiple times, which made the whole interaction unnecessarily difficult.
I ordered a matcha latte. He asked what milk I would like, and I said, “Whatever it normally comes with.” Instead of simply explaining the default milk option, he insisted that I choose one, as if I had never ordered a drink before. I then said regular milk, and he still confirmed it again.
The bigger issue happened when I asked whether the matcha latte was iced or hot. I asked this because the sign said “matcha latte” but the photo underneath showed an iced matcha drink. It was a completely normal question. Instead of answering politely, he repeatedly told me that I had not told him whether I wanted it iced or hot, as if I had made an incorrect order.
I tried to explain, very calmly, that I was only asking because the sign showed an iced drink. I even had to point to the sign and explain word by word that I saw “matcha latte” with an iced drink image and was simply asking whether it came iced by default.
At that point, he told me not to become “aggressive.” I found this incredibly rude and unfair. I was speaking normally the entire time. I was not raising my voice, being rude, or making unreasonable demands. I was simply trying to order a drink and clarify what was shown on their own advertising sign.
I have worked in cafés myself before, and I understand how customer service works. His behaviour was not professional. A simple order became an uncomfortable conversation where I was made to feel like I was the problem for asking normal questions.
In the end, I had to say, “Please, whatever you are happy to serve me. I just don’t want to have a conversation with you anymore.”
I have never had such an unpleasant ordering experience at this café before. It is disappointing because this used to be a local place I liked coming to.
