"I had wanted to check this place out for a little while so I decided to check it out today. In terms of staff, the employee taking my order clearly didn't want to be there and was ready for bed by, which to be honest I don't usually mind as long as there is no problem with the food. However, it was quite annoying that she didn't provide the whipped cream that I'd asked for on my hot chocolate (but oh well my thighs will thank me). But on the contrary, the employee bringing the food to my table was very friendly, welcoming and attentive. Back to the hot chocolate, I don't know what it was exactly because on paper it was great, it was smooth and creamy with a generous portion and tasted as though it contained real chocolate and not simply power. Yet, it just wasn't all that great for some reason and I can't put my finger on the reason, I actually considered not finishing it but I hate wasting food so down the hatch it went. As for the Belgian chocolate waffle, this was great, freshly made and drizzled with both milk and white chocolate, it was delightfully tasty with a crisp exterior and a slight chew to the centre. It came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, which I was pleasantly surprised to see visible real vanilla pod specks in. The ice cream was very rich and creamy, which complemented the waffle well. The waffle and hot chocolate came to an affordable £5 which I feel is very reasonable for a dessert parlour. I will be sure to visit again, most likely to sample the crêpes."

"I absolutely love the fact that they serve breakfast all day! I honestly wish more places would do this. I always eat breakfast at different times. Sometimes you feel like eggs or porridge in the afternoon. Good on them! It was quiet on a Tuesday late afternoon early evening. Very hot day. As per most branches, wooden country cottage feel interior. For me, LPQ have always been hit and miss with any branch you visit, be it food quality, service or cleanliness. Branch was clean. Staff were really pleasant and friendly and service was fast (I am guessing this was because they were quiet). Good menu from all day breakfast to tartines, salads, breads, soups, juices, pastries, desserts and more. Vegan's are well catered for. I had the scrambled eggs on toast with roasted portobello mushrooms and a fresh orange juice. The breakfast came with two big slices of toasted bread and a side of butter. The portion size was big which justifies the price. Not cheap at all! Well presented and freshly made. Yes, I could have made this at home. Nothing out of the ordinary but nice. As I said staff were nice and happy for me to use the free wifi and do some work at the same time. I don't often frequent this branch but came by a few months ago as well when were in lockdown C-19 pandemic and got the spinach and pine nut swirl take away which was also good. Filling and tasty and not greasy. They even threw in free chocolates as it was near Easter. Let's be honest, LPQ do well on plain and simple home comforts. Nothing out of the ordinary. Branches have a nice atmosphere and staff are pleasant most of the time. Food and cleanliness are hit and miss."
