"This place is immaculately clean compared to others. The staff are friendly and the we found the prices were good. As a family we had a mixed range of food and drinks, a freshly cooked pizza, a wrap, a panini and a Jacket Potato meal. All were tasty and the latte's came hot with patterns on them. My son's choice of the Oreo Milkshake was certainly the nicest one by miles. The place is busy however on arrival our table was cleaned quickly while we waited. The place has a nice ambience to it and i noticed the large upstairs seating area as well when visiting the washrooms on the first floor. Do expect to wait a short while as the food is cooked fresh on order."

"After attending the cafe many times and enjoying the food, admittedly a few years ago. My wife and I went to the cafe with our infant son this morning in a pram. Walking in 2 tables were taken with the entire rest of the cafe empty, we were made to feel that we weren’t welcome with a pram by the staff member due to the fact that they needed “both walkways free”. I offered a compromise of sitting on a table in the window where we definitely wouldn’t be in the way, only to be told this is reserved for tables of 5/6. In a cafe at 9:15 that was 90% empty out of season. Shocking customer service, spend your money elsewhere at the myriad of nice cafes and bars in st Ives. Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly Wheelchair accessibility: Wouldn’t be accommodating to this either due to blacking walkways"

"This restaurant has seating for about 15 people. There is only one staff member working, so service is slow. There is no air conditioning. The prices here are 25% cheaper than Kaspas, but the quality at Kaspas was better. This place serves ice rolls, but they are not as good as the ones at Kaspas."

"I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant with a fresh and healthy menu. I decided to try the buckwheat pancakes for brunch, which were extremely filling and topped with chocolate sauce and berries. I typically don't go for healthy options, but this was a delightful compromise for me. My friend ordered the shrooms and greens, a delicious combination of mushrooms and greens served on sourdough bread. The portion sizes were generous and the quality of the food exceeded the price. Although I'm not vegan, I would happily eat food like this regularly. Our server, Adam, was helpful, friendly, and attentive, adding to the overall fantastic experience. I highly recommend this restaurant as an alternative to traditional cafes."

"Very rude owner greeted us with contempt asking “who are you?” and telling us that “you can’t sit there” rather than asking to take a name and showing us to a table!!Once we were seated by a much nicer member of staff, the food was actually very good but the initial welcome or lack of was very disappointing"

"Looking for something to eat rather early on a Sunday, Books and Beans offers the best opening times in Aberdeen. Given their big range of food, the vegan options are somewhat poor. There was no vegan breakfast, yet, I could take a sandwich instead (the Tripple Decker Something). Not exceptional, but a generous serving and therefore filling. (No beans though Soups supposed to be vegan most of the time as well. Service was good, WiFi connections was good too. Nicely furnished additional seatings upstairs. Seems to be pretty popular in Aberdeen; I've seen plenty of mercandise Overall nice place, worthy of support. Would go again."

"I ordered grits with cheese but received plain grits with no cheese or butter, which was very bland. My coffee, requested light and sweet with almond milk and hazelnut, was also incorrect. I was very disappointed with the overall experience, so proceed with caution when ordering from this restaurant."

"After craving eggs benedict The Little Larder definitely did not disappoint! The queue was expected after reading previous reviews however it went down very quick as customers were respectful and didn’t take up too much time after eating. I’d definitely say to anyone that it is worth waiting in line and to not let it put you off. We both ordered eggs Benedict and the presentation was super cool I love how it is given to you in a little box! The only thing is it made cutting very awkward. The coffee was great and the services were a lot quicker than expected hence why the queue is so quickly moved! I’d definitely go back again on my next trip."

"The food was so [censored], it tasted like canned food to be honest, but they still invite you like a nice restaurant. For the vegan aspect, they calculate about £1 less for removing meat and not adding tofu or something else to it. So you basically get expertly vegetables in sauce with Uncle Ben rice for £10. HAHA was honestly speaking it was a fun experience and my girlfriend and I laughed all night in the kitchen and restaurant decor. We will remember this [censored] restaurant forever, maybe I take it back a day to hit (jk). Emma, if you read this, I love you, thank you for making yourself happy restaurant experiences."

"This place looked fascinating when we passed it earlier in the week so we thought we'd make a reservation for Friday night. When we walked up minutes before our reservation time we noticed the place was packed. So packed in fact that some people had spilled out into the outdoor seating even though it was degrees outside. When we walked in there was no staff in sight, so we squeezed past other people to the bar and questioned a staff member about it. He just looked bewildered and told us to sit down wherever we could. There were no other seats, so we left and went down the street to Brigade and had a much nicer time."

"Probably the most miserable cafe I have ever frequented. We entered what appeared to be a nice cosy establishment, sat down and waited... and waited. We eventually got the menu we had to request, a crumpled, well used, dirty A4 sheet. The menu looked fairly promising so we forgave their reuse of dirty paper. Ordering, we eventually discovered was by walking up to the counter full of tempting looking cakes and attempting to attract the attention of customer avoidant staff, zero eye contact and the personification of misery, however, I forged ahead and asked if I could order. The waitress silently turned behind the counter and walked to the far end and stood at the cash register, apparently I was supposed to follow. Order placed and paid for I sat down. First the coffee arrived, nicely presented and fairly good, a pity about the ugly chipped metal spoon on the side. Then the main event, 1 fry up and 1 eggs benedict. The fry up: half the plate was filled with a chorizo style greasy sausage, a couple of shreds of fried mushroom and the remaining mediocre fry, and the other half of the plate was inexplicably taken up by a horridly bitter mismatching drizzle of balsamic vingear? Why? The eggs benedict, again half a plate taken up by a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, the other half a small slice of white loaf with two over cooked dry yolked eggs and a watery yellow teaspoon of sauce. Sadly after that nothing could tempt me to stay and try one of the cakes that drew me in the door. Verdict: The most miserable, avoidant staff I have ever seen, not just one staff member but every single one including the chef. And a greasy fry, overcooked dry eggs, a lack of sauce and inexplicably half of every plate reserved for a zig-zag drizzle of bitter balsamic vingear. My advice: Avoid! Overpriced, over cooked, and customers over looked."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at this restaurant, especially the variety of cakes available. The dining menu looked enticing, so we plan to return for breakfast or lunch at some point. The staff members were all very friendly, and we appreciated that they promptly replenished the dog treats when they ran out. The venue itself was charming and cozy, with interesting decor, and it was well-maintained and clean. The only downside for me was that the milk used in the hot chocolate was too hot and burnt, affecting the taste. I noticed that they lacked a milk thermometer for steaming, so everything was done based on estimation."

"love, love, love this place for so many reasons! friendly and helpful staff. clean and tidy and just love the quirky atmosphere. we had the huge crumb with cheese, which is simply delicious, its what we have set up! beautiful, freshly cooked...crease and tasty cheese, right on the february afternoon. but this place is so much more than a fabulous place to eat. the load to which it is attached is also only an amazing place. If they are looking for an unusual gift, it is quite possible that they find something favorable and unique here."

"I’ve been meaning to write a review of this place for some time...tucked away behind the shopping centre, I and my family come back here every time we visit Leicester town centre. It’s a cosy and friendly little place where you can get a great cuppa (my mum can vouch) or a good coffee. We’ve had fabulous breakfasts, light lunches and delicious late afternoon meals (the carbonara is a particular favourite) all beautifully cooked with good ingredients. The service is very friendly, the chef is really good and although we have waited a little while for our food on one or two occasions, the wait has never been excessive and it’s because it is cooked to order and arrives piping hot. The decor is eclectic and they support local artists with art for purchase on the walls and other bits and pieces for sale, if you like a browse as you wait. Highly recommended."

"This, our local café, normally closes in the late afternoon about 17:00 this time of year; but occasionally it opens up on a Friday evening, until late, to provide a tapas evening with live music. These are occasions which we try to support as much as we can. Tonight was the latest of three such events that we have enjoyed supporting; it was also the last of the, I believe, four summer events have been held. The format, was as before, to stagger table reservation times to allow the kitchen to efficiently produce plates to order. This reservation system helps avoid what could be bottlenecks, that would surely result, if too many orders flood in at the more popular times. The menu is the same for all of these events; our preferences were again to the fore for certain plates, as follows: Chicken Skewers Greek style marinaded with yoghurt. Vegetable Spring Rolls with sweet chilli dip crispy, crunchy rolls filled with savoury mix of vegetables. Lamb kofta balls with tzatziki dip. Patatas Bravas crispy potatoes in a salsa brava with a creamy aioli. Skin on fries. It was once again a much enjoyed meal and, on this occasion, we had invited my Son to join us. He really enjoyed the plates and the atmosphere. Wine: we chose a bottle of the ‘Definition Pinot Grigio’ from north eastern Italy: very complex and much enjoyed: excellent. This bottle was my Son’s contribution to the evening (apart from, of course, his company). We followed that with a bottle of the ‘Pringle Bay’ Sauvignon Blanc from the Western Cape, South Africa: this was very good; wonderfully refreshing. My Partner and I paid for that one! Wine here is not too expensive, especially bearing in mind the quality. A note to say that the Patatas Bravas plate was excellent on this occasion, because the potatoes were indeed crispy. Our favourite plate, for all three of us, was however the ‘Vegetable Spring Rolls’. These were absolutely fabulous, such a great texture. If this plate was regularly featured on the menu, I am sure it would be a very popular choice. The provision of a sweet chilli dipping sauce is a masterpiece of culinary inspiration. The music for all of these events was a duo singing covers of popular songs accompanied by acoustic guitars. They use guitar mics to amplify the music an their vocals. On previous occasions the band have not been too loud; sadly tonight they were. There were times that we couldn’t hear each other speak, and my Partner had to twice ask the band to tone it down. There is a time and place for loud music and this wasn’t it."

"Every year we go on holiday to the Peak District and our first meal out is always at The Shalimar. Everything about this restaurant is amazing, they have a real passion for the food they serve, always tasy dishes and generous portions. They are professional, friendly and the atmosphere inside the restaurant is cosy. We can't wait for our holiday next year so that we can come back! Food: 5"

"visit with the family after reviews as small dog owners should be a fantastic place. Apart from us we were not sure if there is a table service, so we had to order at the cash desk. lady had a friendly art. helpful and informative. the place is small, but well-spered for like 5 small grp. toilet was not sure whether we can use it or its only storage place. the haloumi burger was amazing. fresh rocket sweet and hot sauce plentiful seeds and good taste. pancake is big 1 enough for 2 children. I can see the dog friendly side next to an empty water plate. maybe we went too early, the staff was too busy with delivery orders"

"Really enjoyed Kricket. Lady visit was to the Soho branch, a while ago so definitely an advantage to be able to book. Slightly put off that having booked, we were immediately offered bar stools when whole purpose of booking is to get a table, but all good when we did get a table. Had the samphire pakoras, keralan chicken and monkfish tail with roomali roti. Was very good. Masala chai good too and too stuffed for desert."

"we dived in kats kitchen as our last hoorah to keswick and the seen, especially after we have seen that they are totally vegan (for my friend). we were the first customers at the place, greeted with a big hallo, the venue was welcoming and colorful with...viel quirk. we were invited up, sitting on the window to enjoy our full breakfast with a beautiful view of the river. while there were a few hiccups with the breakie: the baked beans were tepid, I had an ersatz toast after taking a dive from the cooking pass, and the boiled tomatos fought back. overall the breakfast was tasteful, colorful and well cooked. as a traditional front I would definitely recommend the menu!"
