"Evening! Came here to leave a review after visiting this weekend whilst catching up with an old motorcycling buddy. However, I was sidetracked by reading the profiles of recent 1 star reviewers. It really makes you question who these people are and why they even bother leaving there homes…. Maybe a cheap, poor quality meal is what beckons them outdoors, like moths to a flame or flies to pavement presents left by canines. I can gladly say that my visit this weekend was top notch! Furthermore, I had ordered poached eggs and they were so far from what the other reviewers had moaned about. Same goes for my coffee to! Besides, anyone who orders a coffee “extra hot” should stick to greggs or the local greasy spoon. As stated, I visited this store as my buddy lives just down the way on marine drive, he’s held together with plates and pins so it’s close enough for him to walk but not as far as the bars in the town. He frequents this place often apparently and I can see why. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a tall handsome gentleman who, of more confident, I’d have high fived because his energy was worthy of one! I informed him I was meeting a friend and wanted to wait before ordering. “Not a problem sir, there’s a table by the window, make yourself at home” he replied. After his daily hobble, Roger arrived and we ordered food and coffees. I opted for the poached eggs and added both spinach and smoked salmon all you foodies scoffing can do one! The eggs were just the way granny made them, gooey in the centre with just enough runny stuff to be left in me old tache once finished. Rog chose a soy tofu sandwich thing, not my choice (my daughter is a vegan so I eat enough of that when visiting her) but it smelt great and Roger is worried about his heart health so was happy as punch with it. My coffee was great, ordered two flat white and the temperature at which it was served meant I was able to enjoy it immediately and taste all the wonderful fruity flavours of that particular bean! Roger ordered one of the teas they’re known for, silver daggers or something like that. Again, not my choice, but his wife is a big tea buff and after thirty odd years of marriage, I think she’s rubbed off on him. Excuse the phrase. Anyway, before I waffle on for too long, our experience here on the weekend was excellent. There were no shouting managers in ear shot, no cold coffees and certainly no watery undercooked eggs. The staff here are excellent, the perfect mix between professional and personable. They’re not stiff in their manners like some of the pretentious places but they’re obviously passionate about what they do. Maybe some of the previous reviewers caught them on a bad day. Even then, these young whippersnappers sacrifice their weekends so old codgers like us can catch up and reminisce. Give em a ****** break I say, stay in your house and watch reruns of I’m a celebrity. No doubt you’ll enjoy that Tory wet wipe you voted for chowing down on some kangaroo rings. Cheers to the staff for a great day out, next visit I’ll bring some beers for you to enjoy!"

Error of judgment very poor service. Told I hadn’t consumed enough when asking for a hot water top up. This had been my second drink. View menu

Out of the cold coffee and sourdough toast. Warm welcome and quick service just what I needed on a cold day. Sourdough toast simple but excellent. Nice coffee.

Great staff and coffees. Wonderful selection of teas as well. There’s also fabulous cakes and pastries and snacks. I’m a regular here plus their other outlets on the pier and in Cardiff.

Excellent breakfast brunch plates. Welsh rarebit was delicious, recommend some merguez sausage on the side. All the poached egg plates were great. Don’t know why another reviewer was not happy with the coffee it was very good. Lovely staff too. View menu

Waterloo Tea has been going down hill over the last couple of years but the last few visits have proven it really is unsalvageable! I definitely won’t be going back and would advise people to avoid at all costs. From rude management that shout at their staff in front of customers, consistently cold drinks (even if you ask for them extra hot), the same dry selection of cakes they’ve had for nearly ten years to really poor food that they charge an arm and a leg for (I’ve regularly been served undercooked poached eggs and just a complete lack of effort like serving raw versus wilted spinach with their eggs florentine). As a loyal and regular customer both for the cafe and online shop, I can’t b...
