Oliver's Coffee House

My almond slice and the coffee was served efficiently. I asked if the outside area was open and was told it was, so ventured outside. All the tables were full with dirty plates and cups, I moved about cups and plates from a table...in the shade and put them on other tables. Five minutes later a young lady came into the area, glared at me as if I had used all the crockery myself and proceeded to collect everything up. Not a word or a smile from her. Then, to finish off the experience, the equipment in a shed which had its door wide open opposite my table began to make a tremendous noise, sounded like a fridge or air conditioner. Suffice it to say I hurriedly ate my almond slice, which was very nice, I hasten to add, then left, never to return!

The coffee here is fabulous and I have used this coffee house many times however, whilst it’s character needs protecting the place is looking tired and feels like it needs a good clean/titivating. We sat out in the small courtyard- tables and chairs need...a good hose and the plants looked very sorry for. themselves. A real shame to see it looking neglected, also some of the cakes on display looked like yesterday’s leftovers and they looked like they’d been cut with a child’s knife! I felt for the staff all young (all polite) but there didn’t appear to be any senior assistance to guide them. I have given a four star rating for the coffee for the overall experience I would give stars.

We visited for lunch, ordered quiche with extra sald and really enjoyed our meal. The extra salad was certainly extra' plentiful and a good variety of items. I appreciated that the dressing was served on the side it was a bit too strong...for me but my husband loved it. Service was quick. The only thing that has stopped me from giving stars is that I felt that the walls and some of the exposed pipes etc could have done with a more thorough clean, although I do appreciate that any dust and marks might only have been there for a short while .

I was surprised shocked when I visited here yesterday. None of the staff were wearing masks yet everyone coming into the cafe while I was there, did have them on. Who made the decision for the staff, where the rest of the town shops,...appeared to be following the guidance. Given that the staff were all very young, they probably have yet to have had their COVID vaccinations putting them even more at risk.

This really was average. Despite the queue being out the door there was only one person serving, woth no sense of urgency whatsoever. We waited a good ten minutes in the queue. Ordered sandwiches, cakes and drinks. Sandwiches took forever and showed...up without advertised garnish so looked rather boring. No. Offer of sauces or accompaniments. I won't be in a hurry to return.
