I do really like this cafe - it's directly downstairs from my office which is marvellous, and has a whole host of things to serve whatever craving I may be having. From soups, quiche and salads to more (often very-much-needed) unhealthy things like chips, toasties and an extremely delicious peach tart (nom!) the cafe also sells various juices, chocolate bars, crisps and...fruit, if you're into fruit I guess. Everything's reasonably priced and it's mostly pretty good - nothing fancy but who really needs fancy when it's lunchtime and all you want to do is shove something tasty directly into your face? My favourite thus far is their tuna and cheese toastie which comes with salad, perfect for lunch and you can even add chips if you're feeling like a piggy!
The staff are really nice - it's a family-run cafe and they work hard. Open 6 days a week to mainly serve the various people using the Adelphi centre, the cafe also serves the students at the college building next door and whoever else happens to be passing by.
I've yet to try their hot drink offerings because we have all of the coffee up in my office, but having read Alison M's review I'll need to give it a try!
I have to say that this is really more of a 3.5 stars, but I'll bump it to a 4 because they just gave my office a big bag of chocolates. (YAY BRIBERY!)
Although the reason we received the chocolates is because they totally cremated my boss' lunch and still charged her for it, so y'know. Not really bribery. But they're nice so we have of course forgiven them, and are also booked in to have a wee Christmas lunch here at the end of December, which I'm really looking forward to :) read more
