"We popped into The Core for lunch allowing well over an hour for our visit as we had an appt near by. As we approached the till there were three girls busy chatting making juices etc. We stood there and waited and waited ! No customer service just their heads down ignoring us. Perhaps a eye to eye contact and a ‘we won’t be a minute’ would have helped. Finally someone took our order. One coffee one smoothie and some lunch two salads! 30 mins later no coffee no smoothie and certainly no food . I asked the girl who was passing how long it would be and she said a while. Great why not mention it when we ordered! I said it’s been half an hour and no drinks. Another 15 mins and as our time was beginning to run out I mentioned we would have to go soon. Our drinks arrived the food well after and as we bolted down our lunch as we had 5 mins to spare. Not the most relaxing or enjoyable. The service was poor and very slow. Not sure we will bother again ."

Open only at lunch, we tried quinoa salad, verdurine and halloumi (a cheese) grilled and an avocado-based dish. They also sell bulk all kinds of seeds and dried fruit. Recommended.

We came here for breakfast with our 6-year old. The pancakes, nutty bowl and juices are great. Everything freshly made and super healthy. Highly recommend Would come here more often if I lived around

Went in this morning for takeaway juice smoothie great welcome and busy atmosphere. Staff were really helpful and went above expectations for me to get my drink whilst in a hurry. A great local business. View menu

Food on offer is lovely and service is pretty good. I’ve been here twice now and both times I’ve been put off by the grot and food debris in between the slats of the tables. Enough to put you off your lunch.

I visited a cafe in Swindon to have a coffee and toast while meeting with clients. To my surprise, I was charged £8.25 for a coffee and two very small pieces of toast, which I found to be excessively expensive. When I tried to discuss the issue with the staff, I was ignored for 10 minutes before someone finally assisted me. I requested a receipt to understand the pricing, but was told they were not providing receipts due to a broken machine. I have evidence of my bill and a handwritten note from the staff. This situation is unacceptable and I demand a refund. I will be sharing my experience widely until this matter is resolved. I look forward to hearing back from you. Thank you, Rikardo.

I went here around a year ago, my experience echoing a lot of the poor reviews here; snotty service, ridiculous waiting time for simple dish on a quiet afternoon etc etcWas craving some fresh orange juice today so thought I’d tolerate the pretentiousness of the whole gig and get a take out, only to be told at the counter ‘we don’t have any oranges.. because our juices tend not to be made with them we don’t usually stock them’Some ‘juicery’...To be fair this vegan bolthole had made some desperate attempts to diversify; a plethora of honey based products littered the shelves, behind the grubby leather sofas. You can even buy a ‘core’ branded reusable water bottle for £13.95, or some bamboo toi... View menu

I recently visited The Core with my dad for brunch and enjoyed some delicious fresh smoothies to kick off our trip. The food was so tasty that we decided to return the next day to try more items on the menu. As a fan of smashed avocado toast, I've tried many variations in different places, but The Core's version really stood out to me. The combination of mushrooms, rocket, and tomato with perfectly seasoned avocado was a hit. I also tried their vegan/plant-based version on pancakes, without eggs, and it was equally delicious. The smoothies were made with real fruits and vegetables right in front of us, unlike other places where they are pre-made or mixed with juices. Visiting The Core was no...

In recent months, I started calling ahead before making the 8-mile journey to avoid disappointment. On one occasion, I was reassured that as long as I arrived before 1pm, I would be served. However, when I arrived with a friend at 12.50, the kitchen was already closed. The staff handled the situation well, but it was frustrating as there were no alternative options in Old Town. My frustration peaked two weeks ago when I arrived around 11.45-12 on a rainy day. The owner was holding a meeting, and he explained that the staff were sleeping off an event from the previous night. He pointed to a notice on the door, which I had not seen as it was lying on the wet pavement outside. In conclusion,...
