"Tasty food as per usual but terrible customer service ruined my dining experience! I visited this branch with a couple of friends, upon entering the building we were aimlessly standing around for 2 minutes before having to wave to an employee to seat us. This was shocking because there were only 6 other customers, none of which were being served. Once seated we had to a wait a long time for an employee to come and take our order. One of my friends had an issue with her milkshake as it did not taste as described on the menu, we raised this issue with our server who asked if she wanted an exchange, my friend accepted this offer of an exchange. This seemed a pretty quick and pleasant conversation until a female brunette employee with a lot of tattoos came over and was disgustingly rude to my friend. She communicated to my friend that an exchange would not be an option as it is not company policy and the provider reason for wanting an exchange was, in her opinion, not good enough. This unpleasant exchange went on for another 5 minutes, after several dirty looks and cutter her eyes at my friend the employee finally agreed to an exchange. After this the employee walked away but conversed with her colleagues as they continuously looked over at us. We were made to feel extremely uncomfortable. Once the food came we were not given any cutlery and once again I had to get the attention of one of the employees who brought dirty cutlery which I had to point out to her. Avoid this branch as poor customer service from employees will ruin your dining experience."

The restaurant has a great atmosphere. It was peaceful and comfortable during my visit. The service was fast and the waitress was very friendly. The food was delicious and the portion size was just right. It was a typical American breakfast experience. I will definitely return if I am in the area.

We’ve been there with my boyfriend for a diner on Sunday evening and it was fantastic. Food was delicious, great service, even though one of our dish wasn’t like we was expecting it’s been fixed by staff really quick. we got a discount and it was really nice experience. We live local so will be back shortly

I eat here with my partner for a meal before a night out. I ordered the wings(large) and they were awful. Seriously over cooked that bad the chicken was chewy. The service from one of the waiters was rude and the didn’t even get us cutlery. When I asked him for sauce he also rolled his eyes. I live locally but never again returning.

On August 11, 2019, I visited this restaurant for the second time and once again had a positive experience. The food, drinks, and service were all good, and the person who served us was friendly. The only potential downside is that the long booth style seating can make it difficult for people to get in and out, although it does create a more communal atmosphere. Overall, I would still recommend this restaurant as a good place to try. View menu

I chose to dine at this restaurant due to their variety of vegan options, but after trying their 'vegan pancakes,' I became extremely ill. I suspect that there may have been eggs or dairy in them, as my stomach reacted in a way it typically does when I consume dairy accidentally. Additionally, it is possible that the food was contaminated or not stored properly. Upon visiting the basement restroom, where the kitchen was located, I had to hold my breath due to the strong odor. Overall, I had a negative experience and would not return to this restaurant.

I always come here whenever I'm in London. Clean and good variety on the menu. The food is a bit slow to come out (I've always gone early when it is quiet but it still takes a little while) but worth it. The Snickers milkshake is honestly the best shake I have EVER had. I think about it often. It doesn't even have a Snickers in it but they add all the good stuff and give you enough for 2 tall glasses. No other milkshake even comes close. For breakfast I've had the blueberry pancakes (lovely and other people will look at your pancakes with envy) and also the veggie burger. Fries are decent. Burger was nice and you could choose which cheese to have. My friend had a burrito which she liked. She...

Service was ****, vegan food was bland and my milshakes constantly are the wrong taste.we came in and it took aboUT 2 minute 's besides the restaurant being empty. The drinks took 15 minutes keeping in mind there was only 2 other tables(6 other people in the restaurant). I ordered a Snickers milkshake and it tasted like Peanut butter. I did not like it . It was nasty. Maria a lady who works there came over and was suprisingly rude telling me that I should know it was going to taste like Peanut butter . I said it isn 't a peanut butter milkshake your restraunt has called it a Snickers milkshake the rude lady continued to argue. Say I will have to pay for another, in the end i got a oreo milks...

Last week Saturday I went to the dinner with my sister and a friend. First waiter was very polite and helpful when asking question about the menu although she didn't no anything about the cocktails and had to ask her manager. My friend had ordered an majito cocktail and before placing order she had asked if there was any added sugar or sweetener the waiter wasn't sure and had asked her manager who then said No. When cocktail arrived my friend could taste a lot sweetness and had ask the waiter again if there was any added sugar her manager once again said no my friend then told her that it tasted really sweet the manger was arguing rudely with my friend who was being nothing but polite then t...

Been going to the diner for a while and generally the food is good and decently priced and they have a lot of plant based options but on this particular occasion i was quite disappointed. I decided to bring a friend with me and the black lady with straight hair and a cap was absolutely lovely and is a great waitress honestly, one of the best service ive ever had from her, super friendly and makes you feel comfortable, and is the reason why this isn’t a 1 star review. Anyways we were leaving and i popped to the loo i was told by my friends when i returned that the manager had an issue with us not paying the service charge which is optional.The lady who served us had finished her shift and we...
