the review
——— visit to this coffee shop today and not impressed. I ordered a latte and a pain au chocolate, and was served with a burnt dried up croissant which cost £3.80. I was in two minds to take it back but didn’t. I won’t be coming back.

what we would have written
A pain au chocolat should be soft inside with a little give — not dried out. That is the standard, and if what came across the counter fell short of it, we would far rather it had come back to us.
