Leafy Greens & Coffee Beans in Islington

Lovely coffee shop, NB this is not a cafe, you can't sit in and eat any more.

We were told it was fully booked when we entered by the host at the door, even though it wasnt busy. We then booked a table online, and there was lots of availability. We then went back in to be told by the person on the door that the online booking system doesnt work. I then said that it stated that it will charge me for a missed booking, and they then finally admitted that the booking had come through and that they were able to cancel it for me. So the booking system was working! They had a spare table but had not allowed us to use it. It was an incredibly poor experience. I had intended to treat my family to a nice evening meal. I will now have a bitter taste when I pass this place, as I pass it often and have wanted to go there. What a bad impression to leave. Incredible how people operate in this way. Dishonest and disrespectful.

Cote restaurants were enjoyed by us on many occasions but sadly, no longer. Last night’s dinner was disappointing. Jam packed with diners. I understand it’s Christmas but there’s a limit to how many can be squeezed into a space. The food arrived within minutes, literally under 5 minutes. So it’s been made beforehand which results in unsatisfactory food. Two meals were sent back as it was cold. The replacement dishes weren’t a lot better. This isn’t quite good enough and we won’t rush back. A positive, the serving staff were great! Couldn’t fault them. But Côte should up their game!

Quite simply the worst customer service and simply the worst bitter coffee I have had in my 2 weeks in London. It’s the type of coffee sugar won’t even help Dark Roast and as bitter as, I politely asked the waiter to take it away and told him. Crepes were okay but waited nearly 45mins for a lemon and sugar and a strawberry and Nutella serving which was okay but the wait was just extreme. I would personally give this place a wide birth especially if looking for a quick bite or a great coffee many better cafe near by.

Hemos comido en este restaurante durante muchos años y últimamente durante los últimos meses las patatas fritas y los calamares son simplemente asquerosos. Cada vez seguimos preguntando al personal si había un chef diferente en la cocina y cada vez que la respuesta era "no, siempre es lo mismo". El domingo pasado por la tarde, 11/8 20019, personalmente me molesté mucho y me sentí tratado como un perro, ya que mis patatas fritas estaban muy mal cocinadas y los calamares también. Las papas fritas en este lugar siempre han sido de una calidad congelada muy mala y, además, imagínense si se sirven duramente y demasiado cocidas (y cada vez es exactamente el caso). Simplemente no puedo describir los calamares es simplemente horrible e inaceptable. Simplemente no sabemos por qué este restaurante está perdiendo lentamente la buena calidad que una vez conocimos. ¡Es muy triste!
