Two visits in two days.
First visit I was served a caramel iced latte when I ordered a standard iced latte. When I took it back to the till to be remade, there wasn?t even a ?oh sorry? or similar.. very cold and distant.. almost saw a hint of an eye roll
Second visit, order an iced latte again but ask for it in a takeaway cup. Obviously I was served it in a glass ?drink in? cup.. couldn?t be bothered to say anything.
Victoria sponge cake was dry but washed down with coffee?
Communication down the line being improved and cakes being stored better or for less time to prevent them drying out? two small things that would have made a big difference to my experience.

Very reasonable price wise.
We only had drinks,so not fair to comment on the food.

Great little coffee shop, staff are very pleasant. There is a good loyalty card/app scheme.
Fabulous choice of beverages and even has its own *secret" menu. Good selection of items to choose from.
Nice to see that calories are available next to the items, making it easy to check if you are on a specific diet. Meaning informed choices than trying to second guess, which meant my friend was able to enjoy their sweet treat even more as they were able to factor it into their daily requirements.
The triple chocolate brownie is exceptionally tasty if i say so myself and a fiem favourite for me.
Only downside because Coffee#1 is so good, you find yourself having to clear a table to sit at.
Which is why I've marked it as a 4 star for atmosphere. The tables need clearing and wiping down more frequently as it is sometimes a struggle to get a clean table to sit at.
Small, but a pleasant outside area to sit and watch the world go by.

Good selection of snacks. Service OK.
Coffee in generous amounts but weak with no body. Not a place for coffee lovers.

Once again the dishwasher has broken ,so only paper cups, it wasn't long ago the dishwasher was broken and took about a week to fix.. if you want food it's served in a bag, not ideal. No reduction in price though!
Notice the paper cups are from Cafe Nero!
Perhaps they should get a new dishwasher!

Nice place, staff were friendly; very large dining space and seemed to be an ok atmosphere.
The dishwasher was broken so a paper cup, no big deal. Cakes and pastries seemed a bit over priced tbh.

I visited Coffee#1 due to it's spacious cafe floor, which is something I didn't think I would ever say. It's hardwood floors, sand-blue painted wall trim and pale walls enticed me to purchase a cup and contemplate the surroundings. Luckily, the air conditioning was on full, so it was a pleasant sit and sip, at least until I had contemplated my cup.
I watched the barista brew my espresso and steam the milk, a single tap of the metal milk jug being better than none. Although I shouldn't have questioned their skill, as the foam was almost perfect for latte art. No art was attempted (or at least I couldn't work out any discernable shapes), but this may be due to the business of the shop.
The tray that I was served on was a little dusty, and seeing the stirring spoon placed on the tray made me reluctant to add a serving of sugar. There was also no saucer either, which would have solved the dirty serving tray issue.
There were enough seats for my party to sit down, and ramps leading up to a higher area, which would be suitable for those less mobile. There is also an app where (at the time) one could sign up and get a free cup of coffee. I am reluctant to download many apps, but I can make an excuse for this.
I tried their seasonal blend which was more "bitter" than the regular blend, but I found this to be fruity as well as bitter, as if it were a Sumatran coffee.
You can regularly hear the clanging of mugs and plates behind the counter, which would explain why one of the mugs we were served in had a hairline crack down the side.
I feel the presentation of the shop lets its coffee down, with hygiene and precision replaced with fast service and hastiness. You could circumvent all these issues by having a cut to takeaway, but that's not as fun, is it?
