Reviews

I ordered a V60 fruit flavour but I didn't like it so I ask the barrister to change my order to another beans and it was Ethiopian, plus you change my order without paying anything and I really like it.
Very friendly staff, and the best apple cinnamon flapjack I’ve ever had. Highly recommend! Would love to go back there soon to try some more of their delicious looking treats.
Bagels were cold, and had the consistency of crackers. Coffee was mediocre. Atmosphere and staff were okay. Overall, overrated and overpriced - not worth the trouble.
One of my favourite coffee shops the coffee here is top notch. They have a wide range of food options. They also sell a range of coffee beans which I often purchase. I came here for the coffee as it is hard to beat the quality. They have plenty of room to sit inside and have some seating outside. The staff are always friendly and helpful.
Range of food available with vegan / dietary restriction options. Service was great, bringing coffee to the table. Tables were clean, and the atmosphere comfortable. Would definitely come back again.
Cosy place. Came in the morning to grab an apple and almond slice. It was so divine that we got two more on the way back!
Coffee offering is fantastic, great range of beans available for pour overs. Staff are friendly & knowledgeable. Flooded with natural light, I could sit in the window people watching all day!
The coffee is really good, the baristas are so friendly and welcoming plus the music they play is just 11/10.

Also love how much natural lights comes into the cafe.

Cannot recommend this place enough :)

Thank you, will be back when I visit Notts again !
Very nice place - gorgeous coffee, delicious cinnamon buns and great atmosphere
Good cakes and nice place. Coffee has slight burnt taste however (still better than most of the local spots). Not sure if it’s the robusta in it or the 17g shots being pushed too hard and over extracted.
Slipped on a metal grid in the rain, managed to get to Starbucks , called for a first aider, she sat me down raised my leg, put a massive ice pack on it and kept coming over to see if I was OK, had my friend with me so didn't need much help from first aider.
Would like to thank you to the first aider, I'm now in A&E ,had x-ray, waiting to see if ankle broken 😀 😄
Just wanted to say thank you to the lovely employees working here yesterday. I walked in on a Sunday afternoon with a complicated 18 hot drink order and they didn’t bat an eyelid, were super helpful with getting them to a manageable place (cup holders, double lids, napkins wedged around the cups) and even carried them to the car for us. All in a record time! Thanks so much ladies, we got them back without a drop spilt!!
Nice coffee and cafe but service was disappointing. I don't mind a wait when it's busy but seeing the barista prioritise takeaway orders after yours and waiting 15 minutes for your drink is a bit much. Shame
Really lovely coffee shop with a really nice open atmosphere. Plenty of seating but roomy so you don't feel crowded by other customers. Have a good selection of food and drinks with assorted vegan cold and hot drinks
Nice Coffee shop with searing indoors and out and reasonably priced coffee and cakes nice atmosphere and good location. Dog friendly and toilets inside .
Great coffee roasts which change regularly, staff are all friendly, small selection of really nice food like focaccia sandwiches, pastry BUT the local cheesecake is incredible, definitely have the cheesecake.

Massive plus for being dog friendly.
Popped in for breakfast whilst visiting the area.
Really well thought out design, cool and modern look.
Food and drinks are really nice.
Staff friendly and welcoming.
We always look to support this Nottingham-based business where they have branches available when we're away. This is a nice branch, strictly adhering to the 200 Degree decor and vibe that runs through all their outlets.

The only aspect of this preferred decor that I dislike is the lighting. Away from the windows at the front it just seems gloomy. And this also seems to be the way in the two branches in Nottingham and the two in Birmingham.

That said, the coffee is reliably excellent. This is a great business offering a nice coffee experience.
Standard Starbucks, quite clean but full of kids from the local school. Service was efficient and workers were kind.
The filter coffee is really good. There's a good selection of pastries.
The vegan sausage roll is really nice!
Just had excellent coffee and banana cake. My wife had a good cup of tea and blueberry bakewell. Best coffee in Llandudno! And I've tried every where else. Highly recommended
Could have great potential, was really happy to see they had lots of selection when it came to cakes so there was an option for vegans and people with egg allergies etc.

However: for some reason everyone eating outside had to be served with polystyrene plates/paper cups?? This seemed to be a weirdly big deal for the owners because they'd printed off and laminated signs on EVERY SINGLE WALL saying "guests eating outside will be served with paper cups and plates". Kinda weird.
It was windy so they kept blowing away/over, and polystyrene is so terrible for the environment. You just think why can't the people outside be given normal plates that can go in a dishwasher? Rather than non reusable stuff that has to be thrown away after? Oh yeah, we also had to clean up after ourselves/sort our litter into seperate bins---and there was a lot of litter because everything we ordered came on polystyrene.
Their Rock cake is delicious. There’s 2 table has fantastic view …. Good for taking a coffee break
A lovely cafe right in the river; the perfect reading spot for a cup of tea and cake. The staff were kind and attentive and helped me choose what to have; the carrot cake was definitely the right choice!
Part of my Nottingham cafe review series.

Great shop with a lovely atmosphere! Perfect for people with dietary restrictions with vegan options, minor figures oat milk etc. Plenty of customization options with your drinks!

This coffee shop has plenty of seating and is perfect whether you're a beginner or connoisseur towards coffee, wanting a chat with a friend or need a quiet relaxed space to work on your laptop. It's also right next to Old Market Square so transport options are everywhere :).

I'd definitely recommend checking this spot out, especially on a rainy day!
Great coffee, great service, cool surroundings. There aren't many coffee places offering a drip brewed coffee nowadays, so being able to order a V60 brew made me very happy. I'll definitely be visiting more often.
Went in at the end of the day and staff were rude and came across put out by my custom. Purchased a over priced slice of cake and the staff threw my change down on counter instead of handing it to me.
Great specialty coffee shop! They have several different beans available; just tell the barista which flavor profile you want and they'll choose the right coffee for you. I had an anaerobic honey from Round Hill Roastery (based in Bath, UK) for espresso, which was top notch. The cheese cake is heavenly as well.
Excelent service. Good decor. Coffee is good but can be improved.
Really lovely cafe at around the halfway point of the Marine Walk. Nice cup of tea and warm Welsh Cakes, and (possibly most importantly) a well appointed facility!
Very good coffee, polite staff, reasonable prices and away from the busy front at Llandudno, but not too far away. There's a decent free WiFi connection here too. Decor is cool, reminds me of a Scandinavian vibe :)
Worth popping in for a coffee 👍
Lovely cozy coffee shop with gorgeous views across the river. Cakes were delicious and staff were super polite and friendly, will visit again when I'm next in Bath! Definitely recommend
Food is excellent and the coffee is the best in town. And the staff are so friendly. Great place. 👍
Cute courtyard coffee house.
Basic sandwich menu & specials board. Breakfast served
Very dirty, can only pay with card. Lovely building.
It was my first visit a couple of days ago, from outside it looks a small shop, but oh my days when I stepped inside it was amazing! It goes back a long way and it’s beautiful inside, wooden floors, exposed bricks, lovely modern lights with the fancy lightbulbs and the coffee was equally as amazing, I was served by a genuinely (not forced) lovely girl, I’m going back again this morning and can’t wait! Such a relaxing environment too! Perfect!
Great service and the coffee and food is always to a high standard.
The Mocha was worth the trip all the way from the neighbourhood emerald island!

- smooth, chocolaty and full of character till the last drop

It seems like they use some very fine chocolate and not powder like other cheap spots.
Friendly staff, lovely little find. Great coffee and bacon sandwich
What a great place to meet up and have coffee. It is large so there is nearly always somewhere to seat a group of four. The coffee is excellent and the staff are happy to make it just the way you want it. The atmosphere is very casual, safe and welcoming. The high ceiling makes it easy to hear conversation even when the place is full of people.
I recently visited this coffee shop, and I must say, I was blown away by the quality of their coffee. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with the warm aroma of freshly brewed coffee, and I knew I was in for a treat.

The baristas were knowledgeable, friendly, and took the time to recommend a coffee that suited my taste buds perfectly. I was impressed with the variety of options on the menu, from classic espresso drinks to unique blends and flavored syrups.
Best coffee shop ever.
Afternoon tea with a view! You’re provided with a tea kettle with the tea of your choice, along with two scones, jam, and cream. We had the rose tea which was great. The icing on top however was the service. The madam working the counter was very kind and moved us from our table with no view to a table with an amazing view when the couple sitting there left. She had great hospitality and made this leg of our trip memorable.
Was in Saffron Walden for 2 weeks. Enjoyed my morning walk for coffees and toasties. By the end of the stay Victoria knew my name and order! Thanks for looking after me Victoria and team. Great coffee and service :-)
First visit after they re-opening 🎉

🌼 We were so excited to visit @thespecialtynottingham again as it is one of our favourite local coffee shops !!

They have completed the renovation and the feeling is completely different !! However, there is something that hasn’t changed at all, it’s the friendly staff ❤️ You will feel a very warm welcome once you enter the coffee shop 😊 Nice place for chilling out with friends 👭🏻

However when we visited , there were only 🍰 cake and ☕️ coffee... and we can’t wait for the brunch and food become available again !!

⭐️ Good things are always worth for waiting !! Right ? ✅
Great decor. Subpar food and drinks. Missed opportunity.
Go here 1-3 a week and it’s one of the best in Lincoln. Highly recommended anyone loves a good vibe and coffee. Also great for students
Easily the Best Coffee shop in Leeds.
The Quality and taste is superb, service is friendly and efficient, the location and atmosphere is calming and convenient.
Highly recommend you try it yourself i wont go anywhere else now.👍😄
Our favorite place for conversations, bringing laptop to work or just reading! Friendly staff, good options for food and coffees in a completely chill environment. You can sit there all day long and no one would bother you. The music is a bit too loud but quite a good vibe.
Pickmere Lake caravan park is a nice quiet holiday park.Private and lovely surroundings.The owners are nice also.The surrounding area and pickmere lake itself is picturesque.
There are two doors to enter this cafe so one dining space is much smaller than the other.
We went into the smaller dining section and managed to grab the last table for 2- which we soon realised it was extremely wobbly.
The staff were friendly and quick to bring us everything we ordered. No issues with the food either and would come back for sure.
Also with it being on the river, you get some lovely views.

To note- If you like to visit this coffee shop, double check both entrances for tables. The smaller window and closest to the pedestrian crossing is the smaller space of the two.
Asking for estimated wait times for tables, it’s difficult for staff to judge because people will take their time to have their food/drink, so it’s best to check both parts of the cafe first for availability.
Lovely place to stop for coffee and a snack. The place also offers coffee/Barista classes to help learn about coffee, or improving on things like latte art. Worth a visit if nearby!
Always great coffee here. We had a light lunch from the menu which did us just fine. A cosy and warm dog friendly coffee house on the edge of town. Lovely courteous staff there today but I sometimes wonder how it takes longer to prepare and serve the coffee than it does for food.
Clean enough cafe tucked behind the street frontage with breakfasts and a simple lunch menu. They need to learn that roughly chopped lettuce and a quartered tomato with no dressing a 'salad' does not make. Their policy of serving food on paper plates if you sit in the courtyard chafes against other businesses' more diligent attention to recycling. It is only 'ok' for the price.
Does look shut when you walk past, however venture down a narrow alley and you find that it opens up into a court yard and sit in area, very surprising. Good range of coffee and cakes and light meals. Would revisit.
The coffee is nice, though the service can be slow. Avoid the breakfast sandwiches, they're a total rip off. The vegan sausage sandwich had only 1 1/2 sausages in, they'd been cut in half both ways and just lined in the centre of the bread. Taking the mick out of customers at this point.
The staff were nice and attentive. Cocktails okay. Nice atmosphere on a quiet day. The restroom seemed a bit aged and not up to the standard.
Great place for a coffee stop. We sat in the yard. Staff were excellent and very polite and friendly. While we sat having our coffee, we saw about 4 couples come down into the yard quick look round, and walked off without looking at the menu or going inside, all I could say was you missed out on a great experience. They serve breakfast until 11.30. If you sit out in the yard you will be given paper plates and cups that you will put in a bin provided and cutlery in a bucket of water.
Great little coffee place with amazing food. Lovely friendly owners and great outdoor area.
Best in the area! Highly recommend
The loveliest staff at this coffee shop inside One Hundred Hotel. They are always so welcoming and I love coming here to work as a change of scenery. Reasonably priced coffee in the heart of Shoreditch with a lovely small terrace/smoking area.
So I was expecting great things - not so much. Sulky staff, a burnt tasting coffee and a £6 'smoothie' pulled straight from the fridge (it was more like a juice - I thought for that price you'd get something freshly blended).

We sat in the main updated hotel lobby though which is pretty nice so not an entirely wasted trip.

It could have been so good...
Quite good, friendly service. Had a nice leek and potato 'pie' (really a Cornish pastie)
The muffin was great sorry to say I can't say the same about the coffee. I'm a Starbucks fan but something was off at this branch this day. Still it was warm the staff friendly and most important of all it wasn't raining inside.
Hidden gem, Reccomended

Lovely little courtyard cafe accessed through an alleyway on the seafront.

Cosy and colourful outside seating area and seating inside.

Ordered a bacon and egg, no white or butter (fussy I know) to take away, it was a beautiful sunny morning so I wanted to enjoy my breakfast at the beach.

Unfortunately when I opened my sandwich it was sausage and egg! I guess the order got mixed up with someone else's. Although it was not what I ordered, it was still a very nice sandwich and I'd recommend trying the cafe if your staying in the village!

I only gave 4 stars because of the order mix up (I do like a BACON sandwich)
Beautiful lake an easy bike ride away from Altrincham. Great for swimming when the sun's out and the water is a bit warmer..
One of the worst in the world. I've been a Starbucks lover for decades. I've been to Starbucks all over the world and this one is by far the worst. They layout, cleanliness, full bins, dirty chairs and tables, opening hours, they never have a different roast on the drip. And the worst part, is when I asked for a French press coffee they said they didn't do that here. 5 minutes later the area Manager is having a French Press coffee. What a joke. Now, by some stupid sense of loyalty, I'm having a weak Americano. Such a shame. The Philippines and Vietnam have much better Starbucks than here. Disappointing.
Fantastic lake only limited parking so first come first serve. It's free launch for paddle board, dinghy and canoes etc.
awesome lake for outdoor swimming really clear and clean ...lovely for a walk too
Would not recommend buying a holiday home on this site very pretentious my parents ta had a holiday home on there for 20 years 5 years ago they bought on a brand new holiday home sadly my dad passed away just as it was brought on. At first the owners were very nice offering lots of help and support but slowly that turned into them being totally unfair with my Mum who spent lots of time there the owner made my mum feel very uncomfortable to the point of selling her holiday home.
