"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."

"Bad communication from dismissive staff, despite poorly made drinks. On arrival, a waitor stopped the pair in front of us like a bouncer, told them to return to the queue in a shooing tone, only for the maitre d 'hotel to sit them down where they were about to sit anyway. Wherever the adminastative need is here, it is coming with inefficiency and rudeness to a pair of people who were waiting for a couple of minutes prior for no good reason, so to sit in a quiet cafe. Food and drinks were ordered exclusively online, through a slow web app my vodaphone signal struggled. £5.50 for an Iced Matcha Late. I ordered regular dairy as I 'm a cheap git, despite my preference for coconut, and was made to suffer under the waitor 's misunderstanding. I was brought fresh milk, which was clearly less fresh than anticipated as it leant an unforgivable sourness and chunkiness to the drink. The maitre d did not allow me to conclude my request that the milk seems a bit off before dimissing it and dashing off I really should have been offered a replacement, or ideally a refund based on my partner 's drink. Said partner got an iced chai, apparently sub par to the sam drink at Gails and (apparently) Starbucks. Nice ambiance, indeed ruining the experience for me. I think people know about this place from instagram, so it 's just groomed, vain 20 somethings, couples and mother daughter pairs, and unfortunately the former were the most present."
