Staff and Service
Pros:
"Right from the start, the staff stood out with their exceptional service."
"The staff at The Crafty Egg were not only courteous but went above and beyond to ensure we felt comfortable and valued."
"The staff are caring, the food is great and the coffees are top-notch."
"One of our party had a specific food intolerance and the server helped them navigate the menu and work out what could be adjusted and not spoil the dish."
"Friendly staff. Nice food. Good coffee."
"The staff are super friendly and I’ve got to say, it’s my new favourite spot."
"The staff are so helpful."
"Visited the crafty egg for the first time today... the service was absolutely fantastic we were looked after by Lolly, Millie, Billy, and Lucy."
Cons:
"Service wasn't too good this time unfortunately, 50 minute wait from ordering to the first plate coming out, and then one of the meals was forgotten entirely."
"Honestly thought this place was so overpriced... Service also wasn’t good at all, we had to go to the bar to place breakfast orders because the guy taking orders was too busy."
"Had to wait an hour and a half from entering the place to food being served. In that time we were told we couldn't have more coffees as it was too busy."
"Couldn't really give any stars as 2 of us went in, got taken to the 2 seater table to the left, wasn't overly busy then that was it, no one came back to us, we waved one person and just got blanked."
Atmosphere and Environment
Pros:
"The atmosphere of the Crafty Egg is another aspect that deserves praise. The warm and friendly environment makes it a perfect spot for both relaxed outings and lively gatherings."
"Our first visit to The Crafty Egg and it won't be our last! The atmosphere was calm and relaxed."
"From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and an inviting atmosphere that immediately made us feel welcomed."
"The ambiance of The Crafty Egg was cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy some quality time with friends."
"The atmosphere is good, always really busy and there are house plants everywhere for sale."
"Very nice layout and environment."
"A fantastic arrival to Fishponds, with brilliant coffee, cakes, food and selection of beers, you won’t be disappointed with your first visit."
"Enjoyed my pint of Infinity, although as said before prices are high compared to local competition."
Cons:
"Food was mostly cold by the time it arrived too. Atmosphere wasn't amazing either as we were surrounded by young parents with screaming babies. Not the most relaxing vibe."
"The only thing that let them down was, one of our meals, a vegetarian meal had bacon in it."
"Weird that they don’t serve dinner and give you a piece of printer paper with local pizza shop that you can order pizza in from an external shop."
"Nice place. The menu is pretty limited but the beigels we had were both very good. Not cheap by any stretch."
Food Quality
Pros:
"Those breakfasts are straight out 10/10, not a question!"
"Food was outstanding, and the coffee was really tasty as well."
"Very good breakfast with lots of vegan and veggie options."
"The best shakshuka I have ever had. Everything was so delicious, amazing portions and really reasonably priced."
"Firstly, look how stunning my food was!!! And it tasted great too!"
"Delicious food, really great blend of interesting flavours and good portion size."
"Eaten here twice over the past week, the food is excellent. Range of items on the menu with something for everybody."
"Great for brunch. Visited with my father and brother for a Sunday breakfast and got breakfast and a hot drink each all for a reasonable price."
Cons:
"Not a huge fan tbh. Went there for a hungover breakfast... Food was mostly cold by the time it arrived too."
"I wanted to love it, was looking forward to visiting but didn’t love it to be honest. Looked great but found it all a bit rushed & not overly nice."
"Food was good but expensive for what you get. Made a couple of requests but they didn't bring food as requested."
"Have to give it a one star as only accepts card payments so therefore me and my child couldn’t eat."
"Food was nice but had a garnish that wasn't on the menu and I didn't like it. My partner paid £3 for bacon to go with his pancakes which he said were delicious but the bacon was just one Rasher and overcooked."
"Had the meaty breakfast. The plate was too small, it needed more space especially when half the plate was occupied by massive wedges of toast."
"Had high hopes for this based on the menu online. Service was extremely slow and chaotic."
"We went on Saturday morning... and although we still have a long wait before the food, the staff attention was really good."
