Alright, it's been forever since I last reviewed anything, but I feel like this is important for the good of the foodie community.
I had so much hope for this café, the photos looked nice, the food looked delicious, and the environment looked great. They were the top 50 cafés last year according to Metro. I had high hopes.
When the food came out, things were starting to get wrong. First of all, we had 2 sets of cutleries instead of 4, that was never remedied. That was just the beginning. Orange chicken salad didn't come with a hint of oranges, despite what any of the photos anywhere or the name and description might suggest. Shakshuka comes with poached eggs, that was cooked separately. Their Glasshouse breakfast, oh boy, scrambled eggs were over cooked, chorizo was dry, mushrooms underdone and under seasoned, and the shashuka that came with it was full of giant pieces of spices, like whole bay leaves, 2 entire heads of star anise... the creamy mushrooms were deathly sour and super watery, like someone accidentally spilled half a bottle of vinegar in it and decided to serve it anyway. Waffles were dry and over cooked but was saved by the amount of ice cream in there. Pretty much things were either too dry or too watery.
What a disaster.
Would not recommend or ever come back. read more
