• "Probably the rudest staff in existence."
• "Terrible service - they thought it was OK to leave my 90 year old mother standing on pavement outside."
• "The main issue about Half Cup is that the waiting times are excessive because of the extreme inefficiency and incompetence of the staff in allowing tables to be empty for 15 minutes at a time even whilst there’s a queue of 10-15 people outside."
• "Service is quick but it’s sometimes hard to catch the attention of the waiters."

Food Quality

• "The food was very mediocre."
