19/04/2025: Nice little cafe, would recommend , fabulous food.

09/06/2025: Had a really lovely hot chocolate. However we got a slice of cheesecake that was definitely a couple of days old. Very stale. Could use a bit of atmosphere with some music or something

29/05/2025: Blaw is the way to go. Had scrambled egg twice there it’s like gravel. They make you feel like you’re kinda in the way especially the older ladies when they clean the tables which is very odd and kinda funny. Coffee excellent. Got a telling off for ordering food and coffee off the same person. Fix that and excellent. The young Palestinian guy is very friendly the others not so much. I got an odd look of an older member of staff when I was talking to the young guy. Felt like I must not be friendly to him. Odd charm about the place.

03/01/2025: Go to @tandavlogs on tik tok to see videos I ordered 2 spice bags, Thai green curry and rice. The spice bags tasted really good kind of a sweet chilli flavour not your usual salt and pepper. The chicken was soft and easy to bite into like sweet chilli chicken balls and there was more chicken than chips which basically never happens. The Thai green curry was also made quite well not overpowering and flavoursome with vegetables and prawn. 8/10 would highly recommend.

14/06/2025: I was attending a conference and the room was booked for me. On entering the room, the first thing I noticed was the horrible smell, The room smelt really bad. I couldn’t identify the smell but it was possibly stale sweat/dirty nappies/bad body odour. I had to immediately open the window. There was no major improvement in the smell situation even though I left the window open for 2 hours. There were no headboards on the beds in the room. Dirty walls behind the bed. Stained pillows, Categorically, the worst hotel room that I have ever stayed in. I did not complain as the accommodation was booked on my behalf but I will be relaying this feedback to the organisers of the event. Dreadful! Only plus was that the bathroom appeared to be clean.

13/06/2025: Everything from the rooms to the food was a great experience.

30/05/2025: Superior! . First time customer that will definitely will be returning for more , the food is very satisfying. Has to be the best chipper in portloaise .
