Great coffee, Cold food....
On a cold Sunday morning there is NOTHING better than a nice hot breakfast and good quality coffee. This morning i got one, but unfortunately not the other.
I have been going to BN for years for their coffee (which is consistently good) but hadn't properly had breaky there. As such, I was excited to potentially discover a new regular local haunt, but unfortunately that's where my excitement finished.
Ordered at the counter, staff friendly as always, I had the poached eggs with bacon and my wife the falafel eggs with bacon. Drinks as usual, double ris & pic for me, English breaky tea with sk milk for the mrs.
Drinks came quickly. Coffee was bold, strong and delicious. A punchy mouthful!! Tea was too strong and for some reason the milk was frothed despite me requesting cold sk milk.
Food came and it looked amazing!!! I was excited.... I cut through the poached eggs and the yolks spilled over the sourdough and bacon.... Excitement grows!!! I cut through my first bite, and proceeded to eat it and immediately the decline in my experience... It was all STONE COLD.... Very disappointed. I ate my meal, it was ok but much better if hot. I'm not sure if there's a disconnect between the service team (upstairs) and cooks (downstairs) but I genuinely hope they read this and resolve it. It was such a shame.
Will be back for coffee. Will not be back for breaky. 3/5 because I'm feeling nice, prob should be 2/5. 1 star coffee. 1 star staffing. read more
