Took some friends here recently, excited to show them a supposed ——— vegan hot-spot and was very disappointed. ——— rude service left us with a bad taste in our mouths despite the lovely sandwiches and coffees we got to go. The food on the counter didn't have any prices and discussing amongst ourselves what we wanted felt awkward and rushed under the glare of the impatient server, who was reluctant to give us menus when we asked to see one and it all felt very hostile and like we were wasting her time. A shame as I'd heard good things but there are other vegan cafes in ——— with much nicer atmospheres so doubt I'll come again.

One Crookes review, answered twice
Hi ——— We are so sorry that this has been your experience, this is something we take really seriously and we would like to take this opportunity to apologise to you, and improve our service, if you are able to email us at ———, we would like to be able to discuss this.
Thanks for the kind words about the sandwiches and coffees. Prices on the counter and menus on request are both straightforward things — guests should be able to take their time at the counter without feeling hurried. That is not the experience we want anyone to have, and we're sorry it landed that way for you and your friends.
