Kelly's Cafe in Islington

I shop here now and again (when I can afford it!) and have always found the staff more than friendly and helpful. Not any more. Yesterday I dropped in and was proud to see that they were stocking my brother in law's Cornish organic antibiotic free cheese. He's a hard working farmer with the highest animal welfare standards where the cows and calves are very well cared for and roam outside in large, lush fields. A member of staff happened to be at the cheese counter and I remarked happily about the cheese and how pleased the family were that Planet Organic were stocking it. Her response knocked me for six. She immediately reacted with insulting remarks about the dairy industry, this cheese in particular and it's anti-biotic free status. She was just so utterly rude and insulting for absolutely no reason leaving me shocked and upset. Why is she working in this shop if she finds the produce offensive and can't be polite to a customer? If she has issues with the dairy industry (and I agree that there are issues with mainstream dairy farming) she should not be working in a store that stocks dairy produce. I won't set foot inside this shop again. A shame. Anyway, it almost went into receivership recently so Waitrose hopefully will take it over and she'll be out of a job.

Nos encanta ir aquí cuando estamos en la ciudad.

Don’t expect to sit down at an unreserved table early in the evening to enjoy time in this place! Was sitting with friends about to order meals when they put a reserved sign on the table & asked us to vacate in 30 mins! A busy pub yes, but no respect for walk in customers. Go somewhere else!
