Very much enjoyed going to cafe, but it has closed now. Very sad about this, as I used to go once a week with my carer for coffee and cake. I have to find a new place to go now. IT HAS PERMANENTLY CLOSED NOW.

I used to love this place and was going there pretty much every weekend for breakfast, but they are not accepting cash any more so I cannot support business like that. Cash is freedom and no one will bully me to not use it.

This spot is a great place to take time out from a hectic morning at work or meet with colleagues and take 5 minutes to chill. It has a unique ambience with an eclectic style of furnishing and background music. It always makes me feel that I'm walking on to the set of CHEERS. The coffee and food is good but what makes the place, for me, is the staff. All of them to a person are polite and engaging which for the past couple of years has only enhanced my experience in this coffee shop and the main reason for my revisiting it regularly. This is one of those few places open to the public that makes me feel relaxed and at home. Having had a tough week travelling away for work, I visited the shop to have a coffee, catch up on current events and take some me time before going home for a busy weekend. Imagine my surprise to be told that the coffee shop was closing the following day and that the staff had only been made aware of its closure 2 days previously. Shocked, I sat and drank my final coffee ......... and as I sat there I can honestly say I was actually gutted...... not the beginning to the weekend I had expected.... It was obvious that the staff were truly upset, not just because of what this meant to them personally but also as this was the end of a small community that has entirely grown up over the past few years mainly due to the friendliness that the team show their patrons. I then noted that this upset was also shared by many of the customers sat around me. My initial indignation at the manner in which I felt the team had been very poorly dealt with by its owner, slowly ebbed away to respect and appreciation for the people, that regardless of this terrible news and the fact that without any real notice they were soon to be unemployed, continued to serve me great coffee with a smile and professionalism that the owner of the company did not deserve. This is what made this place a sanctuary, allowing me to escape the daily grind of work......calm and friendliness.... I can go on about how wrong this closure is but it won't change whats happening so I guess I just want to say to all the staff good luck with the future and thank you for all your hard work. To Lisa and Madge I shall truly miss our little chats, good luck to you both......where shall we all meet for a coffee now........

Very sad to see this venue is closing down. The staff are great, the vibe is much more relaxed and comfortable than the other coffee shops in town, and the music choices are perfect for a chilled tea/coffee in a comfortable environment that is a little unusual. I have often made a trip into town specifically to relax here for an hour or two - that ain't going to happen just for a corporate chain cafe. So, to emphasise - very sad and disappointed to find out it's closing - more so for Lisa and the staff than anything.

A friend and I went for breakfast on a Saturday morning the waitress wasn’t helpful when asked questions and seemed annoyed at me asking questions about what the breakfasts came with as we were unable to find any menus with descriptions. When the breakfasts arrived all bar the one sausage on my plate had clearly been done in the microwave including the scrambled egg which tasted like rubber and I ended up leaving a good portion of the meal normally I would put this down to an off day for a restaurant but for the price I was extremely disappointed! :(

We regularly visit Coffee Barker on different days of the week and usually experience good customer service. However, we have noticed that if we visit on a Tuesday or Thursday we are asked to leave very early, on one occasion it was 1 hr & 40 mins before they were due to close. If we attend on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday we get excellent customer service and are never asked to leave early. As you can appreciate closing early is an inconvenience as we arrange for transport home and being asked to leave early sometimes leaves us out in the cold and waiting for transport for a long period of time.

Could easily be a 5 star review as the building/decor/furnishing is pleasant. Dog friendly, and generally enough room to keep them out of the way. The large coffee was indeed large (often feel ripped off by independents), but ... it wasn't hot. By the time I got half way, it was not warm enough at all. Had a sausage and egg sarnie, nice quality sausage and bread, but a small egg that sat neatly on a single side of sandwich that was cut in half. If you could order from the table, it might be better having two standard sized coffee's while waiting for er' to finish shopping, but you have to go to the till. When I went, the staff were huddled around the coffee machine, and I had to interrupt them to ask where I ordered from 😞 I found the choice of music unpleasant. It was 'nightclub'. I don't actually mind the music in the right setting, but it was Sunday morning.

Coffee Barker is a great meeting place to catch up with friends and colleagues. It offers a fab service and has a wonderful ambience. The seating arrangement means you are not crowded or sitting on top of each other, giving you ample space and privacy. In my opinion, the food prices are a little steep in comparison to similar vendors.

I had an epiphany today. This place isn’t just about great coffee & amazing cakes/bakes. It’s a Hub, a community, sitting here watching people take a break from the cold and seasonal shopping, meeting friends & loved ones, it’s heart warming. And today with our high streets now dominated by faceless chains selling plastic covered sandwiches with the only difference between them is the logo on their takeaway cup. We live in a cynical intolerant world but here there’s no religion or politics it just offers great Coffee, warmth, comfort, employment, a real sense of community & coffee Barker i personally thank you. I think every town needs a place like this.

Coffee is good and the milkshakes are tasty but since Bill's closed, this place should be rammed in the mornings. But it isn't. Why has the old breakfast menu gone? Even simple sausage or bacon rolls would increase the footfall. Instead they charge £10 for a panini! Update; so it looks like Cafe Barker read my review and now have breakfast Fri, Sat,Sun mornings. However £8.50 for a Bacon or Sausage roll does not convince me to return, when M&S is half the price and better....

I have been a regular at Coffee Barker for several years and I can honestly say they serve the best coffee in town. The service is always welcoming and smiley and they remember my name and my regular order. I worked in hospitality for 43 years so I understand great service and a great venue. It means that I also know how hard it is to get great service right, especially when staff are at the lower end of the pay scale. The place is always spotlessly clean and the music-choice is diverse and interesting. I have two pieces of Cherry Bakewell Slice and a Flat White coffee and the cake is delicious - soft, moist and packed with cherry filling with plenty of almonds on the top. The coffee is delicious and is a properly made flat white, unlike a few places in town. The seating is luxurious leather chairs and sofas and is so comfortable that I find it hard to leave! Please ignore the recent negative reviews - they so obviously have some kind of agenda and I simply do not recognise the staff they are describing, (Lisa, 'the blonde one' is a lovely, friendly lady who is always smiling and always attentive and kind. Do yourself a favour and visit Coffee Barker if you're in town. It's simply the best.

The service here has plummeted. I've been a regular at coffee barker for years and always loved it but in the past few months the service has become terrible, staff are rude and have gotten my order wrong the last 3 times, don't seem to understand the simplest request, for example asking for skimmed milk?! Also do not appreciate that they now come round to the tables giving you dirty looks and telling you they are closing soon (although the online closing times says much later?). It makes you feel rushed and unwelcome like you are an inconvenience not a paying customer. Such a shame as it's a lovely location and interior but unless something drastically changes with the customer service I will not be returning. I hope management acknowledge this as looking at recent reviews and other customers faces today,many people will be avoiding this place from now on.

Used to be a really nice quirky place but now it’s an absolute dive. Tables dirty despite the place being fully staffed. Food slow and wrong orders coming out. Ordered a coffee to take away and it took 25 minutes was less than luke warm and was absolutely swimming in caramel syrup 👎🏻 my friends food was wrong and we couldn’t wait a further 30/40 minutes for another panini so opted for a refund. Blonde lady who looked like she was assistant manager was being degrading to the staff in front of customers was very clear that little or no training had been provided to new starters and was actually hard to watch. Poor service, poor quality of staff and filthy premises. Don’t recommend save your money and go to Costa round the corner.

I really really like the place, it's cosy with an amazing atmosphere and the coffee is good and the staff and service is really good. I love going there! I was a bit sad they removed the brunch options from the menu, but its understandable as its not really a restaurant, but it was good, the remaining options are ok they are tasty and are a standard coffee shop options. The only negative I felt was the new virtual system to leave a tip, I just feels very pressuring with the % and it is something that I felt stuck in the US but seems its here in the UK now.

It's probably the best setting for a coffee and a chat with friends but it's lacking something. They have made it look really nice and welcoming, but I don't like having to select your table first before ordering. On a busy day, you are forced to find a table and if alone, leave your things unattended in an attempt to reserver the table. Then queue up and potentially wait 10 mins worrying about your belongings. The coffee is alright. the snack/cakes are alright. The breakfasts are terrific. Toliets are clean. The place always smells of fried food.

Coffee Barker used to be good in the past but not anymore..I can see less and less people there and I understand why! I speak of an incident i witnessed this morning in which I felt really bad for the poor workers who where being shouted and spoken to diagustingly by management. No good manager belittles other humans in that way and especially infront of customers! I confronted her about it and she claimed she didn't know I was in the shop when she shouted on them and that she is hard of hearing in one ear. If the shop door is opened to the public won't you anticipate that customers maybe be seated there and check first before screaming at staff? She then went inside the kitchen and continued to scream and speak to them in a BELITTLING manner as I could hear her from where I was seated. It's one thing to correct staff but its another thing to belittle people. Thats not the way to speak to people nor the way get a job done. To that "manager" whoever you are, may I remind you that before a manger you that you are firstly human, so dont forget to treat others the way you would like to be treated. Goodluck with the coffee shop but I won't be coming there again because I won't patronise that kind of behaviour.

Came in for some lunch and a coffee with my Mum over the weekend. I appreciate it was a Saturday so they were very busy. I queued at the till for over 15 minutes, only to be told when I got to the till at 14:02, that the kitchen shut was shut. When I asked why, a member of staff (who was stood with around 4 other menbers of staff in a huddle) was quite rude and just pointed to a small piece of paper on the wall that said 'kitchen shut from 2pm due to staff shortages'. (Even though there were ample empty tables but around 3 members walking around cleaning, plus the multiple behind the till) Very frustrating that I had queued for 15 minutes and only missed the kitchen by 2 minutes, and to be told so rudely. I really like Coffee Barker but was massively let down by their service on Saturday.

It could be better. The food was cold! You order at the bar. You need to find the menu yourself. I wanted to try something new. It was let down this day. It's not top on my list to return quickly. Overpriced for the poor quality of food. They should put the syrup in a small jug and the cream in a bowl to let customers decide for themselves. Presentation could of been better. Evening menu is much better presented.

Great drinks. Though table service is supposed to be provided, it was so slow I had to request the drinks twice before resorting to going to get them myself. Also doesn't take cash.

Was not impressed - sat down at 2.45pm on a Saturday to be told the kitchen was closed for any food prep .. what nonsense is that !! On a busy Saturday.

We ordered avocado toast and coffee and unfortunately, both were really bad. The breakfast looked like it had been kept in the fridge for a few days until it was served to us, it was tasteless and cold.

Loved the food shame about the service and staff.. waited for a coffee for 30 mins for a hot coffee while my wife had her iced latte and finished our whole meal without my drink.. when I told them I was still waiting no apology! A apology goes a long way. Such a shame! Won’t be returning.

I have used Coffee Barker many times. My husband and I were in there today and we were so very disappointed. Our coffee arrived straight away but after waiting 25 mins for our food I went to check. The assistant was so rude when I mentioned that we thought our panini would come soon after the coffee. She said it wasn't her fault and what did I expect her to do about it, suggesting I write to the owners to complain. There were several young employees there who thought it was funny. Customer service is minus 10. With so many shops closing and a choice of coffee shops in the Lexicon I think Coffee Barker staff should be more respectful to their customers.

Place was busy but queues were made worse by the lack of attention or interest shown by the lady behind the counter! We were trying to order but she was more interested in sharing a joke with colleagues at the other end of the counter, we twice had to call her attention I guess we should have walked out at that point!!!

I love coming to this café, the staff are always amazing and smiley and their memory is on point! The food is always fresh and tastes amazing! The coffee is always refreshing and the cakes are to die for! I always without a doubt have a very pleasant experience whenever I visit! Which is why I return! I recommend the Valerie club sandwich and the chocolate gateau! So yummy!

Visited The Manor for the first time in many months. The thing that used to set here above other Wetherspoons was the staff. They always appeared a happy and polite team. Whilst there were some familiar staff who were as friendly and efficient as ever, some new faces were very blunt and to the point. We even heard two staff chatting and they seemed to be competing to see who had the "best" story about being rude to a customer....

Good food, not rushed, friendly staff. The haddock was spot on as was the ribeye. A very pleasant and relaxed Saturday afternoon. Good parking.
