We really enjoyed our visit.
The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was tasty and well presented with little wait time between ordering and delivery.
Excellent coffee completed our visit.

I used to rate this place five stars. Sadly it’s not so good anymore.
The staff do not speak, they grunt and avoid eye contact. Not even hello!
The food was ok. Under cooked and flavourless.
And the shop not clean like it used to be. Sticky tables, dirty floors and walls. Sad

Terrible experience here this morning. We didn’t have to wait long to order but the cabinet food was awful, it tasted like it had been sitting in there all week. Coffees were cold and tasted a bit burnt. Whilst attempting to stomach the poor food and coffee we had to watch on as the staff were inappropriately grinding on each other behind the service counter and sat at tables holding hands. We won’t be back.

They use meadow fresh and it tastes bad and rotten once heated. Won't buy in a hurry unless they change their milk

I used to love this particular Columbus store because of the friendly staff and good variety of cabinet food. But had a very bad experience with one of their staff today.
Ordered a $6.50 sausage roll and got the tiniest piece ever. I took it to the counter wondering if it had been cut half by accident, the staff said it was a normal size (which looked way smaller than those displayed in the cabinet). I said to her “this is not something people would want to pay $6.50 for”. She replied “what do you want me to do?” in a very unfriendly way, then immediately turned to another staff complaining about what just happened, right in front of me!
Disappointing way of treating your customer.
