Catena Coffee in Salford

Not happy about our morning at Catena. We came as a party of seven people, it was not busy when we came in but I guess there is a lack of staff. We ordered some hot drinks and our breakfast, we waited half an hour for our drinks!! When it’s only coffee and hot chocolate. Then waited another 15mn for our food, but the churros I have ordered took another 15mn, resulting on me looking at everyone eating and me looking at them. We then asked for butter, had to wait another 10 minute for a tiny bit of butter. Someone from our group had to leave before I receive my churros as it took longer than expected. Then I finally received my churros, not very good, can’t believe I waited that long for churros that tasted like hash browns (deffo cooked in the same oil). Very disappointed, the rest of my friends enjoyed their breakfast because it was good, but my experience was awful. I am sure you are not supposed to bring food to a table if not all the items are ready. Never experienced that before. We will not come back.

Nice to see this little cafe making a nice nest next to a giant. I didn't know Catena but I would go back. They offer plenty of choices that taste authentic and take into account allergies and preferences. The Spanish omelette that I chose was authentic-looking and amazingly thick in all its glory, delicious-tasting and the salad nutritious. Love the place's look. The food is ready so you don't have to wait and they even warm up your food. I would have given it more if it wasn't for a little egg shell in my omelette. I definitely believe that it is one of those things that happen. It didn't take away any of its taste. Everyone eyed my food and it took digging out the receipt, unfortunately, to remember the café name. This is after I looked for it anywhere on my food and its packaging. Shame there was no branding on the package but it might just be a cost-wise choice. Anyway. Recommended. There.

Very nice with comfy chairs good selection of food and drinks they take your order at the table and bring your food and drinks to the table which i like. Nice lighting and pictures would go again.
