Staff are friendly, coffee good, prices reasonable. Easily seen why this is a very popular cafe/restaurant. The scones here are great but jam could be improved.

I went her on a Saturday lunchtime with my family (2 adults and 1 child). Food was excellent? However extremely limited child selection ( 3 options on the menu). Most of the staff were very friendly and welcoming..... apart from the female who I assume was the manager not in the normal uniform of the other staff. She had a terrible attitude towards her staff and I could hear her snapping at her staff members telling them what she expected and shouting through to her kitchen. This created an extremely horrible atmosphere to try and enjoy a relaxing lunch in! At one point I saw one of the staff members look up at my table and look visibly embarrassed. If someone doesn't take notice of multiple comments regarding the management style I know they will loose customers. Don't go here if your looking for a nice lunch! Try Rico's instead!

I enjoyed many lunches here in the past and our go to place for lunch when in the town centre but I was very disappointed with the service on our recent visit. We waited nearly 20 minutes on a seat which can happen when its busy but what was annoying was there were 3 tables lying empty when we joined the queue. It was one of these 3 tables that we were given 20 minutes later. There were 4 people also waiting in front of us in the queue and they didnt get a table until after we had finished our meal. They waited 45-50 minutes during which time many tables for 2 were seated. They could have planned it better and joined a couple of those tables for 2 to seat the party of 4 but the young man that had been left to deal with it looked new. The young lady in charge told them she had not realised they had been waiting so long. Even though the young guy dealing with the seating had asked her for help only to be snapped "I cant make tables" As I left I overheard the young lady in charge say to one of here team. "It wouldn't have been me waiting 45 minutes for just a cheese and ham toastie" . This person was also quite rude in here comments to most of her staff as well constantly sniping at them and causing a very unpleasant atmosphere. The couple at the table next to us also commented several times about her attitude. As usual the food was good (except please change the chips back to the old ones they were much nicer) but I would consider trying one of the other restaurants now just because of the service and atmosphere being tense. Also asked for the bill but gave up waiting after 5-10 minutes and went up and stood in a queue at the till to pay with the other customers who had got fed up waiting on the bill.

I ate here on a Wednesday with my son and daughter. They don’t have too many tables- and most are for 2 (due to space constraint) and it’s always busy, but the waitress pushed together 2 tables for us. The service throughout was friendly and good. We each had a chicken panini and fries with 3 Cans of Irn Bru - the bill was £24 which I thought was very good value for what we got. The food was very good.

I went to Cova with my sister the other day. I was highly disappointed as the food is normally spot on. I ordered the Stornaway black pudding and chorizo bruschetta. What I was served was one big nubbin of chorizo, all crumpled. End of the pack.

Been going to Cova for three years now, a consistently been a winner: freshly cooked food that's way above the norm at the prices charged, and certainly overtaking their surrounding competitors, who, I need to stress, I have nothing against, and also use sometimes. But, for us, it's usually Cova. Whether it's the breakfast menu or the normal menu, never been disappointed, and have been frequently 'wowed'... Ingredients are obviously fresh and of a superior quality, well put together with attention paid to presentation. Also a cracking range of home baking: scones, cakes etc, all of the same high standard. I've always found the staff to be welcoming and cheerful, and even when Cova's busy and service can slow a bit, they keep the chin up and always have time for customers. Besides, it's business speaks to Cova's popularity, well deserved. All in all, we're there on average two, three times a month, knowing that it's a good experience, and cracking value for money. Thanks to all... 👍

So came in to Eastkilbride shopping centre with 2kids stood waiting ten mins for a table at 1140 finally got sat down at ten to twelve, it's Sunday and breakfast is advertised till twelve so knowing it is ten mins to go I said to the girl the kids are just wanting bacon rolls to which I was told I would need to go to the restaurant across the way!What great customer service skills she had! Might add I've wrote this at 1210 and in that time we have been served elsewhere, wrote this and had tea. Why advertise till 12 when clearly your staff don't want to sell breakfast till 12!

My dauaghter and I had taken food away from Cova before but had never gone in to eat. We were shopping and just popped in for something light to eat. The staff are very friendly and service is excellent. The Menu has a wide choice of sweet and savoury items to choose from and it is all fresh and reasonably priced. My daughter throughly enjoyed her crepe and I had the "sweet of the day" which was a very light slice of Black Forest Gateaux. Drinks were a glass of tap water and a Diet Irn Bru. The bill came to a very reasonable £9.10. We will definitely go back and would recommend a visit if you are shopping in the Centre.

Went here today for the first time, I’m not all that familiar with all the eating places on offer at this particular area of EK shopping centre. I asked the chef ( as was an open kitchen) if they sold scrambled egg rolls before deciding if I wanted to eat here as this was what I fancied for breakfast), he said “yes”and I then asked him where you order to which he gestured to the till. He then took my order as there wasn’t any other staff available at that time. I stood at the till and waited on order, when it came the roll was in a paper bag and the coffee in a polystyrene cup which I thought a bit odd. I then went and sat down at one of their tables to then be approached by a young female member of staff who said to me that I shouldn’t be sitting here as the table and chairs were for sitting down customers only, and that she would allow me to stay this once as the restaurant was quiet but in future I must ask for a table if wanting to sit in their restaurant. I felt very uncomfortable and not very welcome after this and explained to her that she really should be taking the matter up with her staff/colleagues as it was bad customer practice as I was not asked if sitting in or taking away and said to her that I did find it strange that they gave me my order in before said packaging. I felt very angry at this and left immediately after eating my scrambled egg roll and drank my coffee on a mall bench. I don’t understand why she had to approach me in the first place because as she said the place was quiet and what difference does it make if you’re sitting in or taking away when you are buying the food from them anyway, ( would they have made an extra pound or so from me for sitting in?, or how hard would it have been to put roll on a plate and coffee in a proper cup?). All I know is that I certainly won’t be eating here again.

I went to Cova for lunch today with my son (not a first, definitely a last) I was told there were no seats available even though the middle two tables were empty. The couple behind us were told the same. After a while they left rather than wait any longer. I asked the girl who was seating people what the issue was with the middle two tables. I was told that they were kept incase parties of more than two turned up. While she was telling me this another two people who had arrived after us also left rather than wait, so they lost 4 customers "just in case customers turned up" (fantastic business model) While the waitress was writing down the managers contact number a booth for 2 became available, we decided not to take it. Now 6 customers lost, "incase" 4 had turned up.

I wasn't too impressed with my experience; the food wasn't the nicest. I also felt very pressured to make a decision on what I wanted to order. The first time we were asked if we were ready to order I asked if we could have a few minutes to decide. However we were asked about 3 or 4 times within the next 5 minutes. Other than that the staff were nice enough. Due to the lack of space it can feel pretty cramped if it's busy. Probably won't be back here anytime in the near future.

This is often our first choice if in the EK centre, it's always busy which is a good sign, however the hours on trip advisor state open until 5pm and the COVA website states 6pm through week, I was turned away at 4:30pm last week.

Not the first time we had eaten there, however, this was the worst experience we have ever had. Place was busy, only took minutes for our food to arrive. 2 simple toasted sandwiches, 1 classic club and 1 BLT.Club. 2 bits of thick, cheep, fatty, undercooked bacon and 4 small pieces of chicken. Rank!BLT. 2 bits of thick, cheep, fatty, barley cooked bacon, mayo and tomato. Worse than rank. I never send anything back. We ate the bits we could and left the rest, waiter asked if we enjoyed it? Told him 'no'. He left and we never saw him again. Girl came to give us the bill, asked if we went contactless? Said yes, she then took the card, never showed us the amount, scanned the card and returned it and then asked if we wanted a receipt, we said of course as we never saw how much she input into pdq. When questioned about the process used, she said, I am trustworthy and I would never charge any more than requested.No apology, no interaction, no more custom from me I'm afraid.

After my partner and I made a breakfast trip to Cova at 10:05am we were seated promptly and given a breakfast menu. We were then left to watch 6 more tables walk in after us. They were seated with menus and 5 out of the 6 were served before us. After waiting to be served for nearly 30minutes we then left. None of the staff seemed bothered or looked up to ask why we were leaving. Very disappointing as Cova is a favourite of ours.

I mainly use the takeaway area at least once a week to get my lunch (snackbox with toastie or panini and chips for £4 -£4.25).I always enjoy and sometimes buy one of the homemade cakes.Occasionally you wait a wee while for it to be prepared but only when it's quite busy.I have eaten in recently for breakfast and it was a really good quality breakfast but a bit more expensive than your local greasy cafe. They do american style items too like pancakes with syrup.Certainly worth a visit if you are in the town centre and I find the staff are friendly, the prices edging on being high but it is good quality food they are serving up so you can justify it.

I still wanted the crêpe but when it arrived I was quite surprised at the diminutive portion size and poor presentation but still keen to tuck in. The sauce was lukewarm and tasteless but plentiful and the chicken was very chewy. The staff were quite standoffish and when my partner was served the wrong order, they just accused her of ordering something different!

I order chicken sandwich for lunch, tasteless chewy chicken and dry bread verging on moldy. The food took ages to arrive and I wouldn't exactly say the service was friendly either. I had high hopes after reading the reviews but I wont be back!

Visit here regulary when shopping in the centre. The food is really good. it is a but high priced but worth it. The staff are always friendly, and usually easy to get a free table.The only thing i would ask them to consider is their child menu, not a lot of choice on it for younger kids.Its great that they serve stornaway black pudding, not a lot of places in east kilbride do. Their breakfast & lunch menu is great.

I love Cova, I was there recently and I ordered the pancakes and bacon. I also added black pudding, hash brown and a sausage to my order. I have to say it was the best breakfast I have had dining out in a long time. Normally when I order pancakes elsewhere, they are always rotten and dry. But Cova must make them fresh as they were light sweet and fluffy. Next time I have my holiday blues from Orlando and crave an American breakfast I will be coming straight back here !

I have walked by Cova hundreds of times and never knew it had seating. We were looking for a light lunch to fill in time whilst waiting for an Opticians appointment. We were thinking of just having a take away until we realised you could sit it (maybe we should have visited the Opticians before today!)We were seated promptly. There were very few tables free which is a good sign. We ordered the soup of the day which comes with bread and butter. The Lentil soup got a thumbs from me and the Cream of Mushroom got the seal of approval from my husband. We both had decaffeinated tea and I was a bit bemused that the decaff is 30p dearer than regular tea. Why? Overall, we enjoyed the experience and going by the queues of hungry shoppers lining up waiting to be seated, Cova is popular choice. We will be back.

I have loved cova from the start, even when it was crepe ole. The staff are so lovely. The owner James used to come over and talk to us and remember us each time when we went in. Makes a huge difference. So happy to see this business doing so well. Food is gorgeous. Today I had a salad and it was so delicious. If I could give more stars I would

We go to Cova quite regularly and have never had any reason to complain. The staff are always good, the service good, food is fresh and tasty. I have heard some complain that the crepes are not all made from scratch at the time of ordering. I guess that is to keep up with fast service. I've not noticed any reduction in quality though.

Like cova, in there quite a lot. Always know I'll get decent food if I go there. Pretty good service. The main male server is a very nice guy. Friendly nice owners.

I didnt feel spoiled for choice when visiting Cova and I dont feel I'm particularly fussy. Perhaps it's just not my cup of tea. I have visited twice in two weeks and both times had chicken nachos. The first time they were really quite nice and the second time the presentation was very messy and it felt thrown together - in fairness, it was at the very end of the day. What I did find odd was that there was no guacamole. Also, all of the toppings were on top and they werent overly generous with them, so when I got to the middle of bottom I was left with a bowl of pricey crisps.All of that being said, I would go back and next time I think I will try and broaden my horizons outside of chicken nachos!

Always enjoy the food here and took my granddaughter today as I knew there was a great choice for a vegetarian We had to wait about 10 minutes for a table which speaks for itself and the food and service was certainly worth waiting for definitely my favourite eating place in East Kilbride
