Expensive - muffin and coffee nearly £10 - but I knew that, at least, when I ordered. My first Muffin, Summer Fruits, was barely baked. They changed it without fuss, though warning me that all muffins were baked for the same length of time. I opted for the Victoria sponge muffin as a replacement, figuring it might benefit from the absence of the fruit. It was a little better but still more like eating raw batter than cake. Still, the Coffee was nice and the staff were friendly/polite enough.

Called in for a sandwich and drink whilst in Freshney Place. I had a sausage bap / bun and the boss had a cheese toastie and a mocha The cheese toastie looked like it would be a nice and tasty sandwich as there was a large amount of cheese and onion on top, however the cheese was bland and flavourless and you couldn't taste the onion. It was just a soggy tasteless sandwich. The sausage bap was dry. One and a half sausages are not enough in a bap as you end up with mouthfuls of bread. The Mocha didn't really have any taste of chocolate just coffee All in all I wouldn't recommend it and I won't be going back

Bakers and Baristas in the main Grimsby shopping centre is typical of the genre. It is clean and tidy and served a very good selection of hot snacks, sandwiches and cakes. We only had coffees which were also very good.

Visited here today and found the place unclean. I regret that I actually purchased food in this place. A thick layer of lint and dust appeared to be on many surfaces at eye level plus above. Dirt, dust and lint collected on the cafe name. Supervisor seemed rather uninvolved. Tables not cleared, and customers clearing them for themselves. Prices are high enough for the food and beverages, and there are enough staff if utilised efficiently. Staff were polite. Supervisor informed me there was a manager starting new imminently. I suggested that the supervisor might get the accessible cleaning up to scratch before she arrives but was informed that the business was getting a cleaning company in to deep clean! I feel sorry for anyone starting to work in such a place but would question what ownership/management would have their business in this condition and not expect a serious breach of HACCP or a case or 2 of food poisoning?

Really rude staff, shouting an order for sit down tables for 5 mins, to then have it slammed on the side to be asked if it was our (takeaway) order. When they called it something else to what we ordered. In the end we found the wrong label in front of it making us realise it was our order. Then chucked in a bag and given to us. No apologises just a sarcastic ‘thanks’ in the end. Not good considering this was a £12 meal each, won’t be returning.

Overpriced when you don't enjoy yourself, cake dry and drink not the greatest, we've had so much better elsewhere. This is the second time going in for a snack but the woman (grouch) behind the counter is a nasty piece of work.

Beautiful beautiful done cakes and the hot chocolate to die for fab cuppa tea came here with a friend and both treat ourselves to cake and hot drink. Very lovely little cafe would come here again highly recommended. Prices are a little high but in my eyes worth it for a special occasion with friend or two. Amazing clean tidy well maintained cafe spacious and just really lovely. Plenty of milk sugar and just incredible fast service staff very polite very helpful. Would come again in a heart beat

After the lockdown it was nice to get back to my favourite cofffee and muffin shop. Nothing has really changed coffee and muffins are still great...with a changing choice every week The staff are great and even in these difficult times nothing is too much trouble. It beat other coffee chains hands down. Well done to all concerned

Can’t believe how bad some of the staff are here! I’d rather sit in Costa or Starbucks without having the old blonde woman being rude! A smile and manners cost nothing! Also it wouldn’t kill you to wipe the tables down and make sure the spoons are clean! No thanks, I’ll take my money elsewhere.

I decided to nip in here on my lunch hour to treat me and my colleagues to some coffee and cakes but instead I ended up having to go to Riverhead coffee after being ignored by an old miserable blonde woman who was too interested in talking to her mate behind the counter than actually serving me.However I can fully recommend Riverhead coffee which was excellent.

I went here with my daughter for a latte the lady that served us was not friendly at all I felt like I had put her out to ask for a coffee.. I asked mine for extra hot she said they can't do that ... I am sure they can !! So drank mine in about two minutes.. Not very friendly older lady would like to see a smile and a welcome .

This was a nice escape from the shopping centre on a very rainy summer holiday where we were a trapped audience really. Was a nice break comfortable surroundings didn't feel like you were in a shopping centre but the food was fair, you get what your given just a sandwich dumped on a late they were ok but for the price would expect some garnish, prettying it up a bit. I would return but I'm sure I could find nicer for less if it wasn't raining.

Came today for tea and cake..the place was very well laid out open and vibrant..thers was a ok selection of snacks and muffins and the price was reasonable too..I did have to tell the server to change one of the cups for a clean one, and while I was sat down another customer came back to the counter for the same thing..overall I was impressed but the attention to detail acctually counts..pull your socks up and I will bring friends here

We went here for breakfast this morning, hoping for a healthyish snack and a coffee. The coffee was ok - typical barista style - but there was ok chance of anything resembling normal breakfast food. Everything savoury, and I mean everything, came with cheers either on it or in it. Not what I want at 9am that's for sure. And anything that didn't have cheese was a cake and far too sweet for me to start the day on.

We had a flat white, hot choc and 2 chocolate muffins. Flat white ok, but smaller than costa for higher price. My daughter was disappointed with hot choc and was not offered cream or marshmallows. Muffins ok but lacking chocolate chunks. Overall, a bit underwhelmed. Our favourite is still Insomnia at Laceby or Caffè Nero in house of fraser

I attended the HSM Bottomless Brunch in May and could not fault the service of the young lady who served us. She was attentive and made sure our glasses were never empty. The pre ordered brunch (I had french toast) wasn't great though. The French toast was actually pancakes and they were both hard and cold. Was not a deal breaker however as we came for the brunch and definitely got our money's worth. What an absoulte shame my subsequent experience with your doormen and your absoulte refusal to acknowledge any of my messages let down what was a fantastic day up until that point. I am still awaiting the reply where you explain at what point it is acceptable for two male doormen to come into the female toilets to forcibly drag me out when I'm unwell? I completely acknowledge I'd had too much to drink, but I was in a cubicle being sick, was not in anyone's way and did not refuse to leave. I told the doormen I would leave after I'd been sick but that did not stop them from ENTERING my cubicle and dragging me out. Absoutlely disgusting on so many fronts and tbe actions of your MALE bouncers was highly inappropriate. To make matters worse you've then refused to acknowledge any of my emails or messages RE this matter, shows your priorities really. Would strongly advise people to avoid this establishment, once they've taken your money they don't give a damn and clearly an establishment that things it's appropriate for two men to storm into a female bathroom and drag someone out who is clearly worse for wear.
