After vowing never to go to M&S cafe (Gemini) again, I visited the one in Chester last week. What a difference- able to pick up/order what I wanted via a person and enjoy on a clean/empty table. . I made a point of speaking to the Manager and advised her of such a pleasant experience. If she has any influence over the changes at the larger stores with the unhygienic touch control system( no facility to clean the screens) which leaves customers with either cold food or cold drink, whilst waiting for the other half of an order to arrive, I sincerely hope that Management listen. If the number of adverse reviews isn’t enough to make them reconsider, I assume they aren’t interested. Will spend our money at alternative venues.

That time of year again covid and flu jabs so always treat ourselves to breakfast after the jabs. Nurses cafe recommendation was tiny and full so had to bypass that one ,my original choice just past Marks had sadly like many in Chester closed down so plumbed for Marks as it was nearby. I ordered a full English my better half a bacon on ciabatta, service quick enough though had to ask for butter ,portion size wasn't really huge two sausage that were chipolata size ,no choice of bacon so had to make do with smoked streaky which size wise you could compare to the sausage ,beans ok one flat mushroom accompaniment by the obligatory florin sized potato rosti,s which I cannot bear, one success was the poached eggs which were spot on but got to say apart from them it was a bit disappointing and certainly won't be on my must revisit list.

Went in for lunch with my elderly mother to order 2 coffees and a toastie.A very rude member of staff firstly serving at the till with no manners,change given with no thankyou. Once I was given my coffees I just felt the cup and instantly knew it was only luke warm and then tasted it,I made the lady aware who then began to shout at us for not asking prior to have our cups warmed as the machine is set to a certain temperature.This is ridiculous as the milk is heater separately.As the lady was being so rude to us at this point another gentleman came back to ask for a replacement coffee as it was cold. Another member of staff then came to take over the coffee making and then started to disrespecting the customers for asking for a hot coffee in front of us. This is discusting customer service from Marks and Spencer and inappropriate to slag customers off. We then got a dirty table,no staff to collect the dirty pots and was given a cold toastie. Will never visit the cafe again in this store and will be contacting the Head Office to complain. Train your staff to be more polite and respectful as a coffee is not cheap these days and certainly needs to be hot not like warm!

Been here twice this week for a quick lunch while Xmas shopping. It’s always busy around lunchtime, but I was really fed up this week! After standing for ages in a queue to pay for my food, I eventually found a table to sit at. Just like all the other tables, there was a mountain of uncollected dishes. I pushed them to one side and ate my stuff off the tray, watching all the time for someone to come and clear the table. They were just wandering around, looking lost. It must surely have been obvious that most people were eating at dirty tables but they never came near to clear. They need training, they need to ask if they can take away the old food dishes (yes, they could have been mine but even so it would have been a better experience to have had them removed). Do something, M&S!

We popped into the Chester branch this morning to have a drink and a snack, this turned out to be be a very unwise decision. We ordered two drinks, toast and bacon roll. We sat and waited, two members of the management/supervisor team sat in next table ordering a few minutes after us. All we heard from them was “I hope you’re giving us extra bacon!” to other members of staff! They then called a young lad who was clearing tables - “ go tell them we want extra bacon! “ and then yet again they said to yet another member of staff we expect extra bacon, oh and chips as compensation for the wait!!!!!” Their food came before ours ! Their bacon roll was served in a dish, and there was an awful lot of bacon. Mine arrived later and there was nowhere near the amount of bacon they had- I would suggest that they about three times the bacon I had (mine was served on a triangular side plate) Why do the staff behave in this crass manner? Why are they served quicker and more generously than me a paying customer? The whole experience left us feeling rather undervalued

An old lady jumped the line in front of me and about 10 other people. Then she was greeted by all 3 staff members at the till and ushered to the front. Clearly she was a regular and more important thatn the other paying customers. Just yhe kind of snobbery Id expect from M&S be honest. Id rather go to greggs and eat on the sidewalk next to the vagrants instead of coming here again.

We called to M&S for a quick drink, we have used other M&S restaurants in other towns and had great service before. This time there was a long queue, two tills open, confusion as to whether to just wait for a till in one queue or form two queue. Didn't matter either way as the delay was not in ordering and paying for items but waiting for the hot drinks to be served. We ordered tea for two, there were so many other customers waiting that the cashier decided to make our pots herself, great you'd think except that we needed to wait for a jug of milk. After about 5 minutes of standing there while four other staff were all trying to use 2 machines we gave up and just had our now lukewarm tea black. On leaving we checked the drink station and there was still no jug of milk for us. Can only be described as utter chaos.

Called into Chester's M&S cafe for a light snack, first of all there was one queue for two tills when one till had finished you went to it, but a member of staff told us to make two queues which we did, then when it was our turn the assistant went off somewhere no explanation, so we had to wait longer for someone to take over, the customers behind us had been served way before us on the other till , after you have paid you have to go around the back of tills to collect your drinks, l myself had a hot chocolate fully loaded all it had on it was cream and l stood waiting for ages for my husbands tea the staff didn't even know what l had ordered and paid for, l also had a cream scone (scone was so dry it crumbled so tried to put cream on the little bits l could) my husband had ham and cheese toasty and he said it was awful. That is the second time we tried this cafe, the last time they were advertising on a board bacon AND sausage bap they said they only do bacon OR sausage bap, l pointed out that the board said AND not OR found the staff very rude so we walked out, but we gave them another chance and lm afraid blew it will never bother again, especially when there's plenty of other nice little friendly cafes around Chester.

Pedimos huevos revueltos en pan tostado. A su llegada me di cuenta de que hacía frío, que la tostada estaba desabrochada, aunque había dos trozos de mantequilla que eran imposibles de untar. Pedí un reemplazo que se proporcionó. Lamentablemente, a pesar de estar 'tibios', los huevos estaban secos (¿calentados en el microondas?) Y las dos piezas muy pequeñas de pan tostado aún eran blancas. El plato era, por segunda vez, piedra fría. Todo esto por poco menos de un fiver. No podía molestarse en cambiarlo de nuevo. Muy decepcionante.

We were really disappointed with the appearance of the cafe area. If we had had time we would have gone somewhere else, as we had to clear a table ourselves before we could sit down. This was 3pm in the afternoon and I would say possibly less than half the tables were occupied. We actually struggled to find a table with space to put the dirty dishes onto as it seemed other people had done the same.

A 2.15 pm lunch meant piles of dirty crockery on 10 of the 20 tables where I was. Service at the till was chaotic - staff collecting payments then immediately moving on to making tea or coffee. And conversations about who was going out with whom, doing what in their leisure time and having a break. Oh and dropping crockery on the floor. This sums up my first ten minutes here. Two stars not one as the food still tastes good. But I can't recommend this cafe.

My husband and myself were upstairs in Chester M and S looking at the men's collections and we decided to have a quick lunch. It was quite busy but even so we didn't expect such poor service. We chose a filled jacket potato each and had a small bottle of wine between us. First of all the young man taking our order didn't seem to be listening to me, then when we asked him for glasses they were so short he had to go and get two dirty ones telling us he would take them to the kitchen to be washed! One jacket potato turned up and it had to be sent back as it was cold. The basket of condiments was whisked away before my meal came and we had to ask for it and salt and pepper. Eventually our wet and hot wine glasses arrived! One of the waitresses told us they were very short of glasses! They were actually flutes for our red wine! The staff just didn't seem able to cope and one of the ladies on the table behind me had finished her meal before her friend's meal even arrived. We certainly won't be returning to the cafe at M and S in Chester ever again.

I had looked at several places to eat in Chester then spotted the M&S; store had a cafe. It was very busy which to me means it must be good and it was. There is a wide variety of food, and if you don't want tea or coffee help yourself to a free glass of water. I chose to have a toasted sandwich which you take to the counter, pay for, then they deliver it to your table heated with a bit of salad garnish. I would use this cafe again if I was in Chester.

There is only ever two staff taking orders and making hot drinks while there are several wondering around doing God knows what!? In the meantime the queue for drinks is trailing into the shop. This is ridiculous. The only reason I go here (& Debenhams cafe) is because it's the only wheelchair/pram accessible cafe in Chester, and we often have both of these in tow! Once you get served the drinks, sandwiches and cakes are usually nice, nothing special but not as disappointing as Debenhams cafe.

Had previously thought M& S Cafes a bit pricey. But if you go for the meal deals and dishes that you can actually buy in store they're not bad value . Sandwiches and things like that are a bit over priced.

Acabo de estar aquí con mi madre. El asado del domingo se sirve en un cuenco nadando en una salsa sin sabor. Terrible. No es un buen augurio y no tengo claro cómo se acuña como un gastropub. He tenido mejor comida en el hospital. Me encantaría verlo tener éxito, pero después de hoy sería muy difícil apoyar este pub.

Cold. No atmosphere. Terrible halloumi sandwich with barely anything inside it. Expensive and won’t be visiting again.

Click and collect team are useless. Book a time slot, never ready, even though you get a text to say ready. Complaining gets you know where. So will switch shops going forward. Worst customer service experience from anywhere
