The gentleman serving us at the counter was SO lovely, smiley and chatty. It made me and my mum both immediately say “we have to back here more often”. Lovely food and a great place to stop for lunch or a coffee. Staff were only too happy to help. Thank you for a lovely lunch.

Shockingly over priced and bland. Not how I remember it. £10.95 for a full English - 1 slice of bacon and 1 sausage. Absolute rip off and really bland. Service was good and friendly staff.

I had lunch with my friend here on Friday, the 5th of April at around 11 am. A lady with short blonde hair served me, she asked me what type of coffee I wanted I said I don’t really know about coffee because I don’t drink it, just an ordinary white one please she gave me the filthiest of looks and slammed the milk jug down onto the tray which caused it to spill. Whilst waiting for my food she spoke to her colleague (a young man with curly hair) with such rudeness and anger. I felt so sorry for the young man, if it was me I would’ve walked straight out to the job centre. She was obviously angry about something but she should not have spoken to a colleague in front of customers in that way (or indeed in private) I will not be returning to this café unless she is not there.

Disgusting. The place was filthy - tables not cleared. Very little available cutlery and what was there was dirty. Dirty glass for my drink. We ordered poached eggs on toast, the eggs were over cooked and solid. We asked for properly cooked ones and they came out undercooked. Burnt toast, not buttered. The chef came out of the kitchen - filthy whites.

Located within the Glades shopping centre, so nicely placed if you are shopping. Clean and reasonably decorated, nothing special. The staff were friendly enough, and reasonably well turned out. The sandwiches were good but lacked any presentation, no garnish, no frills, just a sandwich. There is where the positives end........ I am not sure who taught the chap on the counter to butter bread, there was not enough to cover a small water biscuit, never mind two slices of bread!! It would be great if they filled the coffee cup with actual hot coffee and not half fill it with warm froth!! Lets be honest here. £23:00 for two sandwiches and two small Latte's is not on!! They are having a chuckle at our expense. There is NO way that what we were served was worth what we paid. While it all looks good, be prepared to pay through the nose for it, its a cafe in a shopping arcade, not the Savoy Grill. You can get equal or better for less if you look around. Average rating based on location and sandwiches, awful value for money.

I have had brunch here a couple of times now - so not just a one off review. First occasion a coffee and bacon sandwich - second the full English breakfast. The coffee is good - the food just so so. Bacon sarnie served on sliced white bread and a couple of greasy slices. Full English - one indifferent sausage, one greasy slice of bacon, an egg, half a tomato, hash brown, mushrooms and half the plate swimming in baked beans. Toast arrived but without spread. Nothing special to shout about. It is italian, staffed by mostly Italians and a lot of Italians appear to eat here. I have had some crackingly good full English breakfast in Italian cafes before - this just was not it.

Ordered sausage, chips and beans which came in record time which surprised me until I discovered that everything was luke warm and just slopped on a plate. Sausage was inedible. Gentleman serving was extremely unfriendly. Not a pleasant experience at all especially as this was the bank holiday Sunday and the place was mostly empty.

I went in for lunch today and ordered eggs Benedict - it was the worst eggs Benedict I have ever had. The whole dish had been cooked so quickly - the muffin had just been charred on top, but otherwise uncooked, the bacon was very fatty with a greasy soft rind and the eggs far too runny. I won’t be rushing back.

I’ve been to Cafe G’s lots of times before this visit- it’s nice and big with lots of room for buggies and ample high chair space. Food is ok and coffee pretty good. I always go back because some of the staff there are lovely and super helpful, particularly when struggling with two small children. Prior to this trip, it’s always been pretty pleasurable but today was really disappointing. I went to the till and ordered two iced coffees. Halfway through speaking I was abruptly cut off and told ‘we don’t do iced coffees, only Frappes’. I explained that I was surprised as I’d had iced coffees there before to which the young girl on the till smirked(very rude) and older grey haired lady (even ruder) cut me off again to say ‘no you haven’t, we don’t do them.’ I pointed to the table behind me and said “I’ve sat there and had an iced coffee, not a Frappe but if it’s an issue, we’re happy to choose something else”. The older lady turned to the gentleman making the drinks and loudly said “see- this is what happens when some people make them and some people don’t.” Again, I said I’d choose something else to which the woman a third time cut me off and said “Don’t bother. He’ll do it for you. Next!” She literally turned her back on me and rolled her eyes, in front of a queue of people! I then asked for a lemon muffin and the girl said: “They’re lemon, not vanilla.” I agreed and said that’s what I asked for and she jumped in with “no- you asked for a vanilla one.” The gentleman behind the counter then clarified that it was a iced vanilla latte and I had indeed asked for a lemon muffin. At this point, it seemed that she just wanted to prove me wrong on something! The young girl then proceeded to say my card had been declined when my receipt was on the tray with the payment having gone through! There wasn’t a ‘please’ or ‘thank you’ throughout the whole conversation. Appreciate everyone has down days but I’m baffled that not one but two members of staff deem it acceptable to have that approach to customer service. Will not be returning. Black Cab Coffee is equally as spacious and much more accommodating.

We were visiting again after a long break. Giardino’s was always one of our favourites. On a positive note the staff were as friendly and pleasant as always and the service was quick. But prices have risen dramatically. A Chicken Milanese Panini is now £8.25 but the chicken with crumb coating was beige/grey and there was the thinnest and sparsest covering of bacon bits and cheese. And no salad or dressing.. it used to be so good and well presented but based on today a dishcloth would have been more appetising. Giardino’s , we know you can do better so please sort it if we are going to return.

Haven't been here for 11 months due to Covid precautions. Had a breakfast whilst my wife was still clothes shopping. 1x Large Cappuccinos together with 1x Bacon Sandwich with an Egg as well. It smelt delicious from 3 feet away! Nice bread, nice bacon, nice egg. Finished it just in time when my wife appeared. We then had 2x Regular Cappuccinos. Both bills combined came to £15.60 I noted that as the new members of staff came on shift at 10:50, they took both their temperatures and wrote them down on the timesheet before they took their coats off - so still exercising caution (11th Aug). I'll be back before Christmas!

I’m not one to complain about things but felt this was necessary. Cafe Giardino is among the worse dining experiences I’ve ever had. The coffee was just boiling water and milk. I ordered eggs benedict, both muffins were soggy and not toasted, both eggs hard and the bacon barely cooked. Side of mushrooms had a lemon rind in which we were told by management was to stop them going to dark while they were left to serve. How long had they been out? £25 I will never get back. Genuinely this was so bad all I could do was laugh.

Stopped in for a coffee on Friday morning while shopping and running errands. It was very quiet, but even so the barista didn’t seem to have the time to be courteous. He also got our coffee order wrong - even after we repeated it twice - not that it really mattered because nothing could have saved those terrible coffees. No vegan cakes, biscuits or pastries either. Really unpleasant experience generally and we won’t be back. There are plenty of other cafes in Bromley with better coffee and a better atmosphere. Two stars only because we had no trouble getting a seat, because it seemed child-friendly and because the loos were clean.

Visitamos a la hora del almuerzo estaban ocupados, así que hacían cola. Cuando el personal masculino dijo "¿Qué quieres?", Mi hija no pudo decidirse, así que gritó "Siguiente" en voz alta, así que en menos de 5 segundos fuimos despedidos porque a un niño casi no se le dio tiempo para decidir. No recomendaría a nadie que visite esta tienda de delicatessen barata al estilo italiano, ya que el personal debe comprender que la forma en que interactúa con los clientes es importante, especialmente los niños. Vaya y obtenga la gestión de la ira y la matrícula de servicio al cliente porque carece claramente de ambos. No puedo revisar la comida porque no nos sirvieron. De todos modos, no se veía bien, así que fuimos a Patisserie Valerie para un delicioso almuerzo con un gran servicio.

This a nice place to go in Bromley if you are looking for a quick snack. There are a selection of dishes ranging from made to order sandwiches, salads and hot dishes. There’s also a selection of desserts and hot and cold drinks. The food is selected, paid for and collected at the counter and there is free seating. So you can be as quick or slow as you need and the area is quite large but can be more congested during the busier times. The prices are quite cheap and portions are generous and the location is in the Intu Shopping Centre in the heart of Bromley so is a great place to stop for a rest or to meet friends

Unlike its Croydon counterpart Cafe Giardino does do what it suggests by its name, providing no nonsense cafe type food overlooking the park behind or besides the Glades shopping complex. It’s a spacious area with a useful counter right at the front for the swift order of sandwiches and paninis in contrast to the much larger servery well within the cafe proper where a much wider range of foods including pastas and baked potatoes are available. The ham and cheese panini I ordered accompanied by a can of San Pellegrino juice arrived quickly and rather hit the spot.

Intu Bromley aka The Glades now has a huge amount of competition in terms of places to get a snack.Obviously Cafe Giardino is complacent about their ability to attract customers.I went into today for a late lunch. I chose a Giardino Special Pannini. Apparently there wasn't one of this variety amongst the sad ones on display. I thought 'oh good', I'll get a freshly made one brought to the table.I sat waiting for about 10/15 minutes. Meanwhile a waitress came round clearing the tables. Like an automaton she picked up my teapot of freshly brewed tea and jug of milk.Meanwhile I asked a waiter to check on my food. He found it and delivered it to me about 5 minutes later. It was tepid...suggest it had been sat around for a while. It was bland. Maybe Giardino specials are paninis filled with scraps.Next time I am in Bromley, I'll go to one of the many other restaurants.

We wanted a quick bite to eat while visiting The Glades shopping centre in Bromley. We went into Café Giardino which is a very large restaurant with a small amount of outside seating. We sat outside as it was a glorious day.The choices of food are very numerous with various sandwiches, bread or baguettes, build your own salads, hot food which was delivered to your table. On walking through the restaurant, past the very long counter at which you place your order, the various selections all looked excellent. We went for two full-sized “build your own salads” one with a crumbed chicken and the other with an avocado topping. The server was happy to split these toppings between the two salads. The food was tasty and very fresh. I would definitely use this chain again for a quick bite to eat at lunchtime,

That basically sums it up. Place is badly organized as well, they expect you to know 'the system' and the females were basically rude I felt. The blokes had a smile on their faces though.

been a customer of the Croydon branch over the yearsand tried the upstairs cafébut the one on the ground floor by Debenhams is one to avoidwe ordered the crayfish and avocado baguette as we have done many times beforebut in this case it should have been titled'Lettuce with crayfish and avocado mush'we had 8 bits of crayfish and a slimy mess that might have been avocadonever again !ps made even worse by a couple smoking in the corner and being ignored by the staff

Stopped here for an enjoyable lunch. Thankfully, I ordered a small salad, as small it wasn't! Hearty mix of pulses and vegetables, a good choice of dressings. Service good and it was nice to be able to sit on the balcony and get a view across Queen Ann Square.

I have been here several times for lunch with my friends. The choices for lunch are extensive I love the baked potatoes with crayfish & avocado, these are dreamy and really filling great value. I would certainly recommend this Cafe it is very clean and welcoming.

This is a good place to come for food after shopping at the mall. They offers good selection of fresh salad and pasta, on a budget.

We stopped to refuel recently during a shopping trip and had an enjoyable lunch - a very good range of options - breads, panini's salads, jacket potatoes and cakes. It was so good we returned later in the day for another coffee!Friendly and efficient service.Recommended

Bit expensive..over 6 Pounds for a milk shake and a very small caramel shortbread but I suppose that is London prices hey? Meals would have been better value. Coffees over 2.20 as well.

My sisters choice again, and what a good one She fancied an egg mayonnaise sarnie , we reckoned it contained at least 5/6 eggs , I had prawn mayonnaise , and that was also veritably stuffed with lovely prawns . The brown bread was lovely , and the coffee I had, very good . Looking around , the pasta dishes also looked delicious . There were also cakes , but I didn't dare even look at them . I would like to return and try the pasta AND the cakes . Family friendly and very helpful staff ! An outside balcony with a fantastic view. First class !

I haven't been to Bromley for some time and looking for somewhere to eat remembered the name Giardino so thought I would try it out My first impression was a strange sort of 'Old folks home' smell when I walked through the door then a food hygiene rating of 4 which made me think the place had gone down 'a bit' then as I was looking at the menu my ears caught the sound of HELLO YOU W****R hows ye going shouted to one the guys taking orders so thought it best just to order a large coffee - mistake should have been a small one, after putting in 4 sugars I felt I could drink it also had a scone that was O.K.

I came here today for some lunch, haven't been here for a while and really fancied a lasagna. I did come at the lunch time rush and the staff were lovely and friendly. The lasagna was a good amount, reasonably priced and yummy! Definitely recommend!

Awful coffee really tasted and smelt of parsnips,food wasn't very good either,they've cut back on fillings,should of taken a photo of the side salad garnish,it was so poor,used to go here regularly a couple of years ago so went back,no wonder it wasn't full at lunch time.

5th visit here. Food is not bad. Freshly prepared which is nice. Design is clean and comfortable, nothing edgy or trendy. Coffee though is not up to the standard of the new central London standards, a little bit behind the established chains even, so room for improvement here. Overall a decent pit stop if you are shopping in the area.

Great micro pub. Good selection of all sorts of beers and ciders plus has wine and spirits for those that want something different. Prices range from £4-£5 a pint.

Really enjoyed our time here. Specialty is Indian thali. Live music on in the evenings on some nights. Biker meet on Saturdays. Should be busier, the Indian food is exceptional. Great Harvey's too.

The Costas on the posh side of Pettswood, not our usual stop but every now and again we pop over to the other side, nice people work there so well worth a visit 👍

Frappuccino took way too long and it wasn’t busy but the staff were really kind. The caramel frappuccino drink also tasted different to normal and in my opinion for the worse.
