Arapina Bakery Reviews Summary

Ordering System

Pros:

• "We ordered using the QR codes on the tables."

Cons:

Food Quality - Savoury Items

Pros:

• "Thumbs up for the savoury mushroom & leeks."
• "First time trying a mushroom croissant, it was amazing!"
• "I'm vegan and it was amazing to have all those amazing options."

Cons:

• "The savoury pastries were pretty good, however, the 'Crolls' are really not worth the hype."
• "The roll was supposedly pistachio flavour but not even its very little filling tasted anything like it."
• "The pastry was very dry and flavourless - perhaps a general issue with vegan pastry."

Food Quality - Sweet Items

Pros:

• "The pain au chocolat had at least some good chocolate in it."

• "Pastries were stale and the banoffee tart was vile."
• "Both vegan pastries were so delicious! It was so hard to choose what to have because it all looked yummy!"

Drinks Quality

Pros:

• "Coffee and hot chocolate are good."
• "I love the coffee which taste is a bit more acidic, which is a nice change."

Cons:

• "Sadly the coffee was very bitter so it wasn't an enjoyable experience at all."

Ambience and Decor

Pros:

• "A cute place with adorable decor and comfortable ambiance."
• "The ambiance was warm and inviting, with a cozy interior and friendly staff."
• "The vibe is nice and chilled. Some outside space too good for the summer."

Cons:

• "The place was quite busy, and the bakery seemed understaffed."

Service and Staff

Pros:

• "Very welcoming staffs as well."
• "Friendly staff. Dog friendly, vegetarian bakery and Cafe."
• "The staff will make you feel home as soon as you walk in and they’ll be happy to help."

Cons:

• "Offerings are usually more or less decent in my opinion, but the service was shameful."
• "The service was also very slow and it seemed like staff didn't really want to be there."
• "The quality of service. Maybe I think that because I worked in Hospitality for over 20 years."
