"The choice for children is woeful (such a contrast to the exhibitions, which are usually great for children). There is also very little accommodation for children with allergies, the staff member I asked about nuts was really rude to me. He suggested that I thought he was lying when I asked him to double check that a cake didn't have nuts in. I didn't think he was lying, I just like to be sure because anaphylaxis is serious and I know its close to the hospital but we shouldn't be made to feel bad when some ingredients could kill our child. Believe me, sainsbury centre cafe, if someone dies because your staff are rude to customers asking what's in what, then the hassle and inconvenience will vastly overshadow getting a folder out and checking ingredients and allergens. I probably won't come for lunch again, which is a shame. Get better choice for children, try to provide something for the kids with allergies there's more of them than you'd think! Stop being rude when people ask, we're not asking for the fun of it. My son could DIE. I will ask what ingredients are in things, if staff don't like answering such simple questions then perhaps they are in the wrong job."

Usually quiet, which is good if you want to chat or read a book.

I love this space and visit whenever I can. Agata and her team do a great job! Someone clearly cares about the food which is always creative, full of flavour well executed.

Lovely helpful staff, excellent toasted sandwiches, not just your boring old ham and cheese type stuff- we had falafel, pepper, spinach and chilli jam. Came with a nice salad. Yum! Sourdough bread delish, can sometimes be too crunchy when toasted but perfect in this instance View menu

I’m a regular visitor and I’m always happy with my experience. Excellent food and wonderful outlook from the enormous window. One minor quibble, I have noticed that people are allowed to sit overlong at tables after a very small meal, working on laptops, when others are queuing. This is a restaurant not a study facility.

This restaurant has the best view. The room is huge with one entire wall made of glass. Makes the place feel even more spacious than it already is. There are loads of tables all still socially distanced I would say. We got there first thing in the morning on Saturday for coffee and I treated myself to a scone too which was delicious. The staff were very friendly and polite. There were some amazing looking cakes.
