"Firstly we always try to use independent coffee/café shops when we can. So we called into Dido about 11.30am on a Friday morning, not particularly busy about a third full. Ordered a sandwich and a wrap, flat white and my fussy black coffee. I like it strong so asked for two shots of espresso in the smallest cup, I clearly explained what I wanted and why. Total charge £18.90. Coffees arrived after about 5 or 6 mins, my coffee served in a large cup filled to the brim. I let it slide. Coffee was quite weak. After another 10 mins or so no food. Gave it another few minutes and then my wife went inside to ask if they had forgotten the food order. You 're next , abruptly was the answer. After another few mins a young girl who neither of us had spoken to before served the food. Prawns was the surly call, she plonked that before my wife and then did the same with mine. Nothing else said. So, on the expensive side for what it was, food was tasty, coffee weak, even the flat white, service abysmal. Suggest you visit one of the other ones close by."

Really popular for lunch I had a vegetarian breakfast, four tomatoes, four pieces of toast, two eggs, and baked beans.

I was served by someone who doesn't know how to be polite. Almost as if she was forced to work there. Face so long and miserable. Go to a cafe further along the road they will be much more welcoming there!

I like to support small business' but I draw the line at paying £5.20 for beans on toast. I mean I wouldn't mind, but the bread was thin and cheap. The butter wasn't butter, it was stork margarine. Approx 2 spoons full of beans on top. Just really poor. Wouldn't return.

Maybe I was not lucky that day, but jacket potato was just ok, and I had eaten much tastier ones. I had a jacket potato with chicken, mayo, and corn. I can mainly remember the corn because there was so much of it. The potato was flavourless, and the chicken was a bit hard and dry.

I love the cakes. Tried the coffee cake and the cheesecake, both were good. British cakes are often too sweet for me, but its just the right amount of sweetness. And the coffee cake in particular is a fluffy sponge cake with coffee buttercream which is fantastic. However, the flavor of the coffee was not to my liking, and the attitude of the service made me think that the staff were as bored with her work as I often am.

Ordered two full English breakfasts, then had to ask for cutlery, as it's not out for self collection. Then was asked how many? Why is was not supplied when they brought it I don't know, can't be their first time! Bread was spread for you! I don't like this as I want to apply my own spread. Small amount of beans, tomato hardly saw the pan, although it was not tinned so that was a plus. Bacon fatty. Overall average and maybe should've stuck to our usual but it's sometimes good to spread your business around.

My daughter and her boyfriend needed to use the bathroom for a medical emergency today, and were shouted at by a woman who worked there, and humiliated in front of the whole cafe! My daughter was very polite in asking if they could use the bathroom, to which they were told by a lovely staff member yes. However another staff member proceeded to shout at my daughter in front of everyone. Viewing these other reviews, it sounds like this lady should just give up working with people. What happened to BE KIND! My daughter and her boyfriend needed help they're only 15, it really upset them.

Our friends really like it here so we all had drinks and food. They had jacket potatoes, we had a muffin each. I asked for ours to be served when the potatoes came so we could all eat together. That didn't happen and ours was brought straight away. I did say we'd asked to wait but as it was just cake we took it. Then another waitress brought a tray with 4 drinks now and started to put on the table even though she could see we already had ours. When she realised she said oh, these are'nt for you. With so many nice places to eat in the area of St. Martins, we won't be going there again.
