Caffe Ritazza

Unfortunate really as they served me very well until I opened my tea on the train and it had milk in it.
How strange for Peppermint tea requested with no milk or sugar to have milk in it. Then I tasted it and it was normal tea — grr.
Never mind they are fine really. Food is OK and usually they get drinks right — surely!

This place has a decent coffee and nice sandwiches although the second is a bit on the pricey side for the amount you get compared to their competitors in the rail station. Their big let down though was their service. Since it’s located in a train station you want the service to be speedy. That’s not the case though in this specific establishment. I had few mins to grab a coffee and a sandwich for my boyfriend to take with him on his way to work. I was the only customer being served. They were moving very slow, chatting with each other which that made my boyfriend barely making it to the train. Another thing was that they didn’t wait to hear all the order so every time she was coming close to the till i was adding another extra item to it. The reason why I write this review is because this experience it’s not the first time. I tried to give them few chances because bad days can be the case now and then but their slow service and the poor ability to take a simple order is a normal thing there.

Thought I would have a small black coffee before my train arrived at platform 10. Cost £1.79. It was far too hot and stronger than any coffee I have tasted before.
I left most of it and got on the train never to return. I suppose I should ask for weaker cooler coffee but for some reason they want to sell you strong coffee.
