Sainsbury's Café in South Derbyshire

It’s a supermarket cafe,,,we only ever have breakfast type stuff here. Yeah it’s ok, pretty good value & earn nectar points. Full English is good, choose what items you want.

Lovely. I can highly recommend the bacon and egg cob. And the sausage and tomato cob. And the staff are friendly and nice too.

Food was awful, pie was over cooked the crust was rock hard and inedible the filling was very dry, mash potato was bland and dry. The atmosphere in there was no existent. Would give 0 stars if i could

Went for a coffee this morning but closed about 9 -30

Never again . Had fish and chips. The chips were not cooked ,And all green . The fish was ok , but still not great . Had a word with the staff and the old guy just said, what do you expect it’s all frozen food. Obviously didn’t really care. I will Stick to Morrisons In the future.

I have lost count of the number of times the cafe in Swadlincote has no sweetners and you only find out after buying the coffee, today I asked if they had run out in the shop below, the answer given was no but we can't use the sweetener out of the shop!!! Great customer service, Not!!!!!!! Update:- 1 month after posting there is still no sweetners in the cafe, yet the shelves are full of packs. I expect that shortly they will expand this new cost saving and sell me a pot of hot water with no teabag to accompany my scrambled egg on toast with no bread! Now down graded to 1 star.

Good menu, good friendly service, prices fare

Very nice place for a coffee or a meal. Friendly staff too .

"please be prepared to push your trolley off the walkway" "please stand still and hold the handrail while travelling" Credit where credits due, the all day breakfast is banging

Had a lovely breakfast here, shame no black pudding though

Sadly for the second time now there weren't any kids sandwiches which was odd considering it was only 12:30. I appreciate that items run out but the cafe wasn't even that busy which begs the question, was there ever any made in the first place?

Friendly but slow service- food is not bad - had a full English - wasn’t “too bad” for a supermarket cafe-

Food is always good, even if there is always a bit of a wait for drinks sometimes

Slow service at counter, although customers are asked to clear tables many don't and therefore a lot of tables have dirty dishes on them, and those that don't often need a wipe down. Even if you do clear your table often the tray station is full and there is nowhere to put your dishes. Come on Sainsbury's you can go do so much better.

Due to lack of staff the only thing that could offer was sandwiches and hot drinks

Very busy very noisy tables not cleaned between customers

Even though extremely busy, Lisa in the kitchen still found time to toast a sandwich for my elderly mother .Great service friendly staff, good food .

Really helpful and very pleasant staff in the café. Whoever was working the 6pm shift 15/8/19 Sainsbury's please let them know they are appreciated.

Convenient location, food is alright, basically what you can get in the store. It's nice to have some food before going through the store!

Cheap prices but drinks dispenser provided warm drink and if your eating just before closing clearing up and banging tables and chairs about

Friendly service but a bit pricey compared to Morrisons

Great selection of drinks ☕ plus food that tastes delicious 🍽 👍🏻

Slow service in caff for drinks , food is ok.

Mostly nice cooked food but sometimes the service can be slow and the tables aren't always cleaned in time.

Slow service but food was good.

Sometimes go in there for s drink or something to eat

I regret to advise I have not been to Sainsbury's cafe since last Christmas!!

Great place to meet friends over food

Hard one to review, there are positives here The staff are lovely The food is good value It's usually served quickly There's a wide range of food including salads and soups (the mozzarella and tomato salad is a personal favourite But.... All of this is rendered almost mute by the awful ordering system. I'd like to point out that this is in no way a fault of the counter staff who during busy periods have my utmost respect. Having a single person take orders, process payment and make the hot drinks is farcical. I've googled this location, found the review option, written the whole review and have yet to move in the queue as the person being served has ordered multiple lattes. There are 5 people in front of me and I'm fearful I'll over run the car parking limit before I reach the front. In busy periods I've seen people wait up to half an hour to order their dinners which can't be right, by the time it's time to order I feel guilty about asking for a hot drink knowing already seeing the people behind rolling their eyes. As I say I don't blame the staff as they are working to store/management policy but it truly damages what shod be a quick, pleasant bit to eat. (Still haven't moved)

Pleasant atmosphere English breakfast good value ,Staff friendly .

really poor service waited 30 mins for a smoothie when it came was frozen took it back staff unhelpful and just said it was overfull

Large cafe with friendly staff and food delivered quickly

Called today for coffee, met my sister. The food looked good and reasonably priced

Always meet up for coffee with friends a little slow being served just a nice cafe to meet up x

It took ages to queue and order. The kids lunch box sandwiches had run out (at just after 12pm and we didn't find out until we eventually got to the check out) then the food too ages to arrive. They did warn us but we had already been queuing for ages to order by this point. Over an hour from starting to queue to getting the food. On our previous visit half they order didn't turn up after already long wait. They staff were friendly and helpful but not in a rush to go again as it takes so long to get food.

Waited over 40 minuets for a hot beef baguette.... Which ended up being a tepid beef sandwich.... Not really impressed 😕

We went to the cafe just before 1 pm and they had run out of jacket potatoes so we had a plough man and a chicken I will not be going to Sainsbury's cafe for some time now as they were wet and stale on the edges of the bread my wife asked the manager to look at the filling and he said look under the cheese We have recently been to the cafe regularly but we don't think we will any more

Waited 17 minutes for a coffee. One person on the till but two tills available. When there are 24 people waiting to be served can you have two tills open please?

Not enjoyed our lunch today my wife ordered steamed fish and salad and was served salmon with potatoes and green been . the beans were unpalatable .

Takes over half an hour or more just to warm a toastie up or food always running out of food, went Fri and over 10 people complained at the service

Very slow to be served took over 15 minutes. Food took ages to come over 30 minutes, only just changed over to the dinner menu. Lots of trays left on tables looked a mess.

Took me half an hour just to get a coffee staff friendly but really slow need extra staff or a new system put in place

Toast was floppy and not toasted at all! Sausage was half cooked, beans were hard and egg over cooked. Not worth the money paid.

Nice place to grab a bite to eat. Reasonable prices. Service a bit slow but very friendly.

A good place to eat. New menu inc vegetarian and vegan food. Busy at peak times.
