This Tesco Cafe is the main cafe serving the Tesco Extra store on Huddersfield Road.
The store, and the cafe are both quite big, and this cafe is easily viewable from the entrance, on the top floor.
This cafe is quite pricy compared to other Tesco cafes, they charge 65p a breakfast item, which is 15p more per item than Middleton. I do think it still represents value for money, but I do feel betrayed that this store does charge more than Middleton, when the food isn't any better.
They serve "Costa" coffee here, including a few hot and iced beverages. I prefer this approach, as some Tesco stores have a Costa inside, I'd prefer the cafe to serve costa (if they do have a partnership) as it still means Tesco's standard cafe products are still offered.
The staff here seemed okay, with some of them not seeming too friendly, and a little grumpy and tired in a way, especially when I mentioned the pricing, it seemed she was shocked I questioned her and the price difference, but I feel I have a right to do this, spending 15p more an item (or 60p) than what I expected and would of payed at another branch.
Even a Tropicana drink here costs a good 40p more than what I'd of payed in store, which I feel is stupid as just meters away I could of payed this amount less.
The presentation was a little sloppy but still the food was okay, but nothing special, especially to warrant the pricing compared to Middleton's cafe and in-store.
This cafe is quite nice and does have good views from the store, but it is just a shame that the food here is just satisfactory and they do charge a good amount more than other branches of Tesco Cafe (Middleton) and the store it is in. My issue with one member of staff is also a key factor in the lower score than what I'd of liked to give. Although I don't feel this place deserves 1 star, I still feel I am being quite generous with two. read more
