    The welcome upon entering the cafe was frosty to say the least, asking for the front door to be closed as we were cold was met with disdain and difficulties however we were eventually moved when we would not accept the offer of blankets (we were sitting inside), waiting staff were the complete opposite and very welcoming however the whole experience was ruined by the hosts mannerisms, especially disappointing as this was to cheer everyone up after a difficult period, blanked upon paying I’m assuming as she didn’t like the fact we would accept to be cold! Won’t be visiting again, however note that people who were recognised by the host were treated completely differently…….
    the 1867Responded 1 day ago
    Thank you for your honest feedback, Miranda. We are truly sorry that your visit didn’t meet your expectations and that you felt let down by the way your request was handled. We always aim to make all our guests feel at ease, and it’s disappointing to hear this wasn’t the case for you. We appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns and will address this with the crew to ensure we improve moving forward.
