"Maybe my expectation for the vegan night the bread street brasserie had risen too high, but I was quite disappointed. for me it seemed very average. I would have been happy if I had found these vegan options on a normal menu, but wanted more of this as we had made a special trip just to try their vegan menu. there were some highlights to eat. our appetizers were both tasty and well presented, my darling bahji and my partner a grilled brot with Mediterranean vegetables. we also had a banan feather roll dessert with date karamell, which was delicious (I will steal the idea and make it myself). my partner had a noodle dish from which his comment on the sauce was that it tasted like a cheap glass sweet and sour. I had a sun-dried tomatenburger who was in order, but the lawn Slave with which it came was bad, tasting nothing but soyyoghurt. I also found it hard to choose three dishes that worked together as a meal, so I feel like the menu is not well thought out. the service was also something missing. the waiting staff was very friendly and helpful, but the headkeeper was really uninterested, bordering on the rude. we came 10 minutes earlier than our table was booked and were released into the bar to wait with the promise that we will be collected when our table was ready. 30 minutes later, he had not yet come to find us, we went to ask again and then sat. not a big thing, but added to the general sense that bread street brasserie vegane night was not the experience we hoped."

"I attended a baby shower here which included afternoon tea, I want to start with some positives the building is beautiful and is decorated lovely, very instagrammable the patisserie cakes look really pretty! But we experienced quite a few negatives during our time here, we were changed last minute from their other cafe to this one, the room was small and as a group of 24 we were very crammed in. The staff weren't overly great on the customer service front slightly rude in how they addressed customers, but i can understand that they were under pressure on this particular day with our group and other customers, definitely over booked and took on more than they could successfully manage. We also were not allowed in to set up ready for guests to arrive and were told to wait outside until our allotted time. Staff very much made their problems our problems with staff flapping and making comments but not actually doing anything, which led members of our group to clear tables and also remove 3 tables which we were actually using, as staff required them for another group booking... It was all very odd. There had not been a get out time communicated to us prior to our booking and we were very much made to feel that we were unwanted after a certain time. On the food front the sandwiches were stale from being made a lengthy time before our afternoon tea the scones were undercooked. Staff were also not attentive with repeat drinks orders, so actually lost out on custom in this respect. To end on a positive note though staff were apologetic regarding our experience, gave us free prosecco and took money off our bill so i can not fault this. Maybe a one off experience for us but i probably wouldn't recommend or go back, but others may have a totally different experience."
