    *****AVOID***** Customer service is terrible. I ordered a cornflake tart and custard, which had hardly any custard and it was thick and curdling. The young boy was sitting down eating when I went in to complain of my dessert. I was asked if I want another or my money back. To which I responded another. He stopped eating did not wash his hands went in the freezer took out a cornflake tart put it in the microwave with again hardly and custard so I asked for more. To which he begrudgingly gave. He used his bare hands to tell if it was cooked by dipping his knuckle in and packed it up to go. Its safe to say I wish I had just accepted the refund. I will never return they dont care about there customers. The location for a driver is awful, no parking. Downtown are tax evaders who accept, cash only! This is only known to you when you arrive to collect and not over the phone when you place the order. Most law abiding companies post pandemic want you to pay by card/contactless. Parking: None available

    Ordered Bonoffee Waffle, and it didn't disappoint It was light and very tasty. I requested to add some chocolate sauce also along, and it really made it nice, but then I do live my chocolate In short, the place was not busy, and that didn't matter because the waffle was certainly very good, and my kids who ordered ice cream for themselves ate half of mine after taking one bite. Parking: Parking free after 6 pm

    Absolutely disgusted. I ordered a box of 6 donuts and only received 4. I ordered a cornflakes tart which I found a hair in and the churros tasted like plastic. They looked amazing but absolutely horrifyingly disgusting. Like literally eating plastic and the smell 🤮. The donuts were fresh and delicious but they have 4 when I ordered and paid for 6! The hair in the cornflake tart was the icing on the cake. Their food is definitely not fresh. Definitely frozen apart from the donuts.
