This was my third time at Matines. The first two were wonderful, which is why I suggested it to a…read morefriend for brunch. This time was a completely different experience -- (1) no waitress to take your order, all walk up, (2) the avocado on my sandwich tasted bitter likely caused by it being past ripe, (3) we were sat but given no water (which we ended up retrieving our selves), we brought our own wine & had to request an ice bucket & glasses 3 times (our sandwiches came out before we had anything to drink), (4) tables were covered with used dishes & then the dish/trash retrieval cart was pushed around & left next to our table, & (5) every server seemed bummed, like they didn't want to be there & didn't know how to be a server. It was shocking & I kept apologizing to my friend for bringing her & suggesting the spot. We were hoping for a super fun girls brunch but the vibes were giving struggle bus. Hoping this place can get back to where it was, but I won't be back to see.

Super cute cafe with very good food…read more Parking in the back is very easy. My husband got cold brew and I did the lavender yuzu mocktail, both were good. I ordered the Lafayette on a baguette and he ordered the Parisian. The sandwiches were massive and also came with salad, neither of us could finish. They were very very good. The bread was perfect. Service was slow but they were packed when we went. Everyone was very friendly. Would come again.

Immediate fail. If you offer a dish and don't have all of the components, then you need to tell the…read moreperson making the order. Then they can choose to order the dish lacking a key component or they can select something that can be prepared correctly. Sourdough with smoked salmon, tomatoes, cream cheese, red onion, and CAPERS is not the same dish without the salty briny capers. So, big fail. At almost $13 for a single slice of toast without the other items (and not enough smoked salmon to counteract the missing salty aspect) it's sad. On the upside, there were enough red onion chunks to have me breathing onions for several days. The specialty drink I ordered, which is a cold brew with an amaretto foam, was really good. It's a lot of ice and a medium sized drink, so you can gauge the value for the price. It wasn't cheap. I probably wouldn't do it again. But it did taste good. The environment is nice. Old train station, high ceilings, charming atmosphere. Old wood floors, old wood moldings, old ceiling. It does look like the windows have been replaced, but they kept the frames. The space has been upgraded while maintaining the charm. Kudos to the person who did it. Fun to see the trains speeding through the station. It's a great option for people waiting for trains or being picked up. One cold brew and one sourdough toast dish with a reasonable tip was over $21.

Well, it has been several years since I've taken what used to be the R5 into the city, and Wayne was usually one of the stops I departed from. However, the girls working were very sweet and helpful when I told them how long it's been, and they proceeded to let me know I could buy a ticket on the ride into town. Oh as for the actual cafe, they had a lot of good looking treats (especially a chocolate chip muffin) but I did hold back and went with a smaller hot cocoa with oat milk. This was less than $5 (still getting adjusted to reasonable prices outside of my current city), and it was very good! Seating was throughout the narrow space, from tables and chairs to an old-school station bench which I took advantage of while I savored my beverage. There was also a separate restroom for men and women. From the barren station it was, someone really took this space and gave it new life. I imagine it's packed during the early weekday commute, but when I visited, it was almost peaceful with just a handful of people. Looks as though they haven't been open for very long, so I wish them success and look forward to the next time I can come by again while in town (and waiting for what I still call the R5).

Upstairs is a bit hot b/c they opened up the windows, but at least it's fresh air. Downstairs is cooler and there's good seating in both areas with outlets and decent wi-fi. I ordered one of the specials-- strawberry lemonade with espresso. Honestly I'm more of a "I like my coffee poured over and black" kind of guy, but this really hit the spot this summer afternoon. Great specials menu, so I gotta come back to have the coffee in earnest! Service was prompt-- felt like a few people were getting trained up today, but things were still running pretty smoothly. Happy to come back for a focused work session when I'm back in the Radnor area.

I wanted to share some constructive feedback after my recent visit. Unfortunately, the service felt…read morea bit unwelcoming from the start. The staff didn't seem particularly friendly, and the cashier appeared irritated, which made the experience less comfortable than expected. I also ordered a breakfast sandwich that's listed as coming on a bagel, but they were out. I completely understand things sell out. However, I was surprised to be charged an additional $2.50 for a different type of bread as a substitute. As someone who works as a barista, I understand how these situations happen, but in a hospitality-focused business, small moments like this can really shape a customer's experience. Overall, the visit felt more transactional than warm. I hope this is something that can be improved, because good hospitality can make a big difference. Overall the food was good and the drink was also good. But like mentioned above there has to be good customer service to round out the experience.

Though it was relatively busy, we were able to sit along the narrow bench with small tabletops to enjoy. There were quite a few college kids at the longer table, a family or two with younger children, and some older couples. Overall, very nice energy and friendly staff.
