"The atmosphere was great and especially the staff."
Cons:
"The place totally lives up to its hype! Lovely place but unfortunately they have some hygiene problems."
"Went after dinner for some dessert. They sat us at a dirty table, there was trash inside the sugar holder."
"The place is very instagrammable, so if you aren't into it, it's probably not gonna be very pleasant."
"The interior was very fairy tale like with pink dominating the color scheme. A bit gaudy to me."
"The interior looked run down and unkempt. The vegan chocolate cake was stale."
Service
Pros:
"I was served today by momo and john. Lovely waiters, with amazing manners, and made us feel very welcomed."
"As soon as you walk in you're blown away by the lovely pink decoration of the cafe - looks beautiful and very welcoming."
"We were especially pleased with John as he made sure we were happy with our food and drinks."
"The highlight of my experience was Raffaella; when she greeted us in the beginning, she was kind, caring and helpful."
"We had a amazing experience in Hans cres brunch as we celebrated my daughter's 10th bday."
Cons:
"Service was terrible, staff were generally kids. They would all hang in a corner of where a sink was, pretending to clean it over and over again."
"Service is absolutely horrible. They are slow. You can see on their face they don't like their jobs."
"The worst place ever. I had really horrible experience at this place this afternoon."
"The service was very slow and may I mention it was extremely sloppy."
"The service was very bad. Waited about 30mins, the manager (I assume) came over to take our order."
Food and Drinks
Pros:
"We’ve ordered a different selection of cakes, and they all served!! I got the chocolate and coffee cake, it was very light and tasty."
"One of the few places where the cakes taste as lovely as they look! Love it!"
"The food was great. A little overpriced in my opinion, but I guess you’re paying for the pretty atmosphere and good service."
"The place was absolutely amazing the food was beyond great and the caramel coffee the best I ever had."
"We’re tried this famous pink coffee place in the evening. There were plenty of food choices, overall sweets."
Cons:
"A very unpleasant experience to spend £6.9 on a croissant that had no filling inside. It was a huge disappointment."
"The cakes were far below my expectations, I don't know maybe it was this time only but the one in Wardour st was so different."
"The cake looked like it has been sitting for days. Hopefully, they will do something about it, because being Instagram friendly is not enough anymore."
"I had soggy sweet potato fries and a tiny burger which cost 15£ and tasted quite average."
"I ordered the shakshuka and it came with two eggs which came with a crispy surface and the egg yolk was hard, I couldn’t even cut it."
