Really bad customer service the staff are not welcoming or friendly. Didn’t smile when I was asking questions on what to get very dismissive and blunt with their answers. The gluten-free Bagel barely any taste, hard/ Stale. Like it wasn’t fresh or home-made But yet you’re having to pay extra for it. Got the tofu cream cheese wasn’t that exciting? Not much flavour. That mainly is the staff why won’t be going back again - Aeoni Stewart
