Service

  • "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."
