"Partner and I had forgotten our bank cards so unable to draw out cash. We came to cafe fresco and asked if they took card payments. Was told cash only, we replied we only had our phone so the server said he would take a card payment this once. We ordered. Came to pay and after getting up the list of available wifi networks, I asked which wifi was theirs as my reception was terrible and he shrugged. Then produced a piece of paper with the network and password. I joined, opened my banking app to make the transfer and handed my phone over for him to input his details. He then told me “no” very abruptly. I was confused. He then, again abruptly told me “how I pay in shops” and told me to put my phone onto his. I then realised he was using his phone as a terminal. While the transfer was going through the way he proceeded to talk to me, as if I was stupid and a child, caused the cafe to go silent and customers staring. He then dismissively told me the transfer had gone through and to take a seat. One, of taking a card payment had been so much of a hassle we would’ve gone elsewhere two, I have an honours degree and 3, I’m 38 years old. The food was decent, no complaints there but, the whole experience was marred by the servers bad attitude. We couldn’t wait to finish and leave. There was no thank you for our custom, even when our drinks were brought over, there was silence. We will not be returning here again. Maybe he was having an off day but, if paying by card was such a chore then we would have happily left and eaten somewhere else."

This restaurant is the perfect spot for lunch. I ordered the bacon, avocado, and lettuce baguette and it was absolutely delicious and very fresh. The service was excellent. Fresco is a fantastic discovery and I will definitely be coming back. The prices are very reasonable as well.

I love this place! Such a good place to go if you’re looking for a nice meal. I tried the chicken curry the other day and it was the nicest curry I’ve ever tasted in my life it was so good. I went today and I’m tempted to go back tomorrow just for the curry! Highly recommend staff are great too!

My wife and I decided to eat breakfast here, we weren’t disappointed, we both had 1slice of bacon, 2 fried eggs mushrooms, also toast, the breakfast was lovely, my wife had peppermint tea, I had normal tea, the staff are friendly too, the only fault is some plates are chipped also mugs too. Otherwise it was delicious, we will definitely eat here again. Thank you, I would highly recommend this place.

My wife and I had the chicken curry and rice at this restaurant. The food was fantastic. We both also enjoyed tea. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only issue we encountered was that the mugs were either chipped or cracked. It would be great if they could replace them with new ones. Overall, we would definitely recommend this place to eat. The prices are reasonable and we plan on eating here again.

I absolutely adore this restaurant. I typically visit for breakfast, but decided to try something different this time and ordered a jacket potato with chicken and sweetcorn mayo. The portion size was very generous and the filling was delicious. The accompanying salad was also very tasty and unique, with a variety of ingredients beyond just tomato and cucumber, as well as a nice touch of herbs around the edge of the plate. It was all very classy and I thoroughly enjoyed it! The latte I ordered was also delightful. The staff clearly prioritize customer satisfaction, as they were friendly and attentive to detail in their service. Additionally, the prices were very reasonable.

I'm vegetarian and miss a fry up occasionally, so I thought I'd try cafe fresco as I'd heard it was good. Now, if I was a meat eater I'd be laughing all the way to the bank, vegetarians not so much. The item I wanted was avocado on toast with egg, no avocado, so I opted for the other vegetarian option, which was the veggie breakfast. Now 4 types of potatoes, 2 manky veggtable sausage a spoonfull of mushrooms (I'd say 2 small mushrooms chopped up) cpl eggs, fried bread, beans and/or tomatoes for the same price as the large meaty breakfast is not value for money. It was cooked well and was super hot and fresh, but so hmmmm and a bit disappointing. The coffee was nice, proper coffee, could have...

"My wife and I booked a table at the Cinnamon Tree on Tuesday for the Sunday early evening to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I checked their web site first before booking as the actual date was on the Monday. Finding out that they did not...open on Mondays we opted for the Sunday. I telephoned the restaurant and made the booking. the person on the other end of the telephone repeated my details and time date ect. We turned up at the restaurant to fined it was closed with a sign on the door stating that they did not open on Sundays and Mondays. We got back in the car and went to turn around at the back of the restaurant and I saw a door at the back of the restaurant open. I stopped the car and went to the door and found someone in the kitchen. I told them that I had booked a table for that night and he confirmed what we had found out with the notes on the door. He then telephoned the owners of the restaurant and he put me on the telephone and I spoke to the owners partner and she said they have not been open for several weeks owing to staff shortages. I asked the lady why the booking had been taken as the staff must be aware of when the restaurant is closed or open and I had gone by their web site. She replied we haven't bothered to up date our web site and will not be doing so and have not bothered to blank out Sundays on the book were the reservations are written in and just blamed the person that took the booking in the first place. Her attitude was I couldn't care less. At this point I was boiling as I have used the Cinnamon Tree for many years and have always had a good meal there. But after this episode they can go to hell I will never go there again."
