"Wow I attempted to have a breakfast and a cup of coffee and it was a disaster. Initially they didn’t do breakfast so I settled for a sandwich and a coffee, the coffee arrived and it looked like warm dirty water and tasted nothing like coffee. After asking it was confirmed they had forgot to put the beans in the grinder therefore I was drinking water and coffee remnants, the second cup came and it looked like dirty dishwasher water and tasted metallic, I politely said forgot the coffee. Surprisingly a third cup came out no lie I was told “I have tried to coffee and it’s nice I drank from this side of the cup therefore you drink from this side” …. WOW WOW WOW!! As if providing two cups of water wasn’t enough, now they actually drink from customers cups and TELL then customer, sorry this is a massive no no and has massive hygiene implications."

Appreciated this cafe is run by autistic people and that is invaluable but lots of people dont know that and get aggravated with long cues.....does need someone to over see and keep things running smoothly ...rather disorganised and shambolic I am sorry to say

Is a nice cafe with nice food but they use takeaway packaging even for those sitting in. Whilst I appreciate is a social enterprise they really need to think about how much waste they are generating. I would avoid it in future for this very reason. I only drink black tea and they could not give me any extra hot water for the tea (it was a tad strong without charging me for another cup! Couldn't take the existing one from me and top it up either. I am not sure if that is a Covid issue (which has been found not be transmitted by touch .. or what. View menu

Quite a disappointing experience. Dogs not allowed inside fair enough, some people would see that as a bonus but not good for us since it was chilly and breezy. Asked for and was given a menu and took that outside. Two or three minutes into perusing the menu the staff member who had given it to me came out to tell us that the kitchen was closed and only drinks and cakes were available. It was about 14:50 on a Sunday afternoon so I would have thought not an unreasonable time to be seeking a sandwich. We left in search of lunch (and found Holdens, which is excellent).

"I wasn't at blueberries with my friends since before covid so it was great to kick through the door and see how busy it is, fortunately I had a table for lunch. there is nothing special vegan on the menu, but they try to place their very hardest, in contrast to some places. I love a jacket kartoffel and choose her beats with various items from the menu, so ordered frying and avocado. katherine, one of the owners and cook came on our table and said she could suggest some other dishes and also vegan cheese if I did not the jacket kartoffel, but if I still did how about the topping of sonbs. what a nice geste and I will visit her on her offer of other options at the next. I noticed that they were able to offer vegan options for their Christmas card and also had two vegan, frozen meals to take away, moussaka and chili. my friends ordered a chicken and specksalat and a fish and chips and both said that eating was delicious with a mention that the chips were the best. my kartoffel was huge, with a lot of topping, served with beautiful salat and quickly grinded. the food is made fresh to order and blueberries is very popular as full it was on a cold Wednesday afternoon. there is also a small marquee on the side of the blueberries, which for those who are brave and sitting the weather and of course adds extra space. I really can't knock blueberries, they may not have vegan options (although a cake would be nice and I need to ask if they have plant milk as I always have my own. but they will always try to eat rusty something satisfying and with announcing can something like a vegan hotpot that I had before, what was brilliant."
