Ordered a breakfast it was absolutely awful, I sent it back and had a full refund. The young man and young lady that served me were absolutely amazing and couldn’t apologise enough.

Poor quality asked for a large extra hot latte. Had to ask 3 times for it be full and hot. Lady was very confused I felt embarrassed to ask again and left with a warm latte filled to 4cm from the top. So paid for large but got a small warm poor coffee.

The cafe is spacious and clean, but the food was very disappointing. Cold chips, a toasted sandwich barely toasted, and a warm baked potato. It all tasted very cheap, not reflected in the prices. And the coffee was awful,very bitter. We won’t be returning.

Was staying at Travel Lodge just across the road and decided to have breakfast here. Firstly, we had to wait a while to be served. Understand there can be problems, and it would help if staff said we will be a few minutes instead of getting on sorting things before serving. When served, it was not the best customer service. However, breakfast was average, so three stars. Should have found an independent café instead.

when we arrived we had to wait till 11.30 before we could order food as they only have the breakfast menu till 11.30 well both myself and my friend ordered me fish and chips and my wife had Jacket Potatoe with cheese my friend also had fish and chips we waited for 40 minuites for our food to arrive at 12 40 when it arrived the food was cold the cheese on my wife's Potatoe was not melting the chips were cold and the fish was warm but not hot I had a word with the girl who brought the food to the table and she told me that the bottom of the plate was hot but instead of apologizing she said again that the food was hot well we asked for our money back and left disgusted with the way we were treated and will never eat there again we were made to feel it was our fault . lesson learnt. people who came after us were served first and I think our food was left served up but left to get cold instead of bringing it straight away

25 min queue to then be told when I got to the front at 2pm they sold out of roast dinners at midday. Other food would be a further 20 minute wait and to top it all I just ordered a drink as I had run out of time and she made it, left it behind the counter and served the next person leaving me standing there . I spoke to the manager who just apologised but no offer of compensation for tardy service . Disappointed in Sainsbury as not what you expect from them .

Ordered breakfast with extras, once paid told no mushrooms available, offered replacement items that i had already ordered as extras. Couldn't have toast as this cost too much. Sainsbury's get your act together your shelves were full of mushrooms get one of your staff to walk over and collect some. The person serving couldn't care less no apology or acceptance that it was an issue just factual we ain't got any, and she was training a new member of staff so poor standards will be passed on.

After lock down the cafe reopened. So my father and I decided to have some lunch after shopping. A long time ago this cafe was quite nice. But just before lock down it was rather grim. But though it looked OK. Omg it was disgusting. Cold poorly cooked food. Which I personally would not feed a animal. Then whilst looking at the allergen menu it did not make any sense what so ever. It said things like vegatarian might not be suitable due to the way the food is prepared. Really it either is suitable or it isn't. The poor ladies on the counter was on her own. They needed at least two more staff in the lunch time period . I know its cheapish but surely they could serve edible food.

I shop a Sainsbury's on a regular basis and will from time to time frequent the cafe, to either take the weight off and rest or to have a coffee with a friend. On this occasion I was with my elderly mother whom I had taken shopping. I have never witnessed such lazy staff and unprofessionalism in all my years. I was served at the coffee counter by a lovely lady (ginger hair) who was doing an amazing job, single handedly serving customers with a very large queue. As it was getting busier she requested to two colleagues to assist her, both colleagues completely refused to help, walking off and sniggering.I took a glance at the girl as she walked round the back to the kitchen area, who had a smirk from ear to ear, clearly amused at the fact she had left her poor colleague to struggle on her own.It wasn't as if this girl was undertaking another task either, she was wandering around clearly doing nothing and laughing and joking with colleagues round the back of the counter in the kitchen area. My elderly mother was disgusted. She was most upset for the lady serving us coffee who was clearly ran off her feet and doing a brilliant job in the circumstances. Disappointing as I have always found Sainsbury's staff to be happy and kind people who have good customer service. However, the 2 young girls in the coffee shop are not what I expect from Sainsbury's staff. Next time I am there I will try and get there names from their badges so I can report it formally.

Staying at the travel lodge next to Hereford Sainsbury’s on business and suffering with a really painful frozen shoulder, I popped in early morning for a cuppa (it was handy and also one of the only open cafes I could find open before 8am) and to ask the staff at the cafe if they would kindly do me a favour and warm my wheat heat bag up for a minute in their microwaves so I could use it to help to relieve the extrutiating numbing pain I get from it. Well, very sadly (for me) I got flat out refused by a very young girl (whom did ask her chef first, so not this young girls fault) stating that their microwaves are cooking microwaves only. Seriously? Never heard such PC bs in my life. Medical emergency here! I’m now sat the car waiting for another local cafe to open, to which I’m 100% certain will assist me with this crisis.Sadly cannot tell you what the tea was like as I refused to buy it after I was let down so fiercely. Poor show Sainsbury’s.

Went for a post-shopping late lunch. Ordered two cod and chips. Took a while to be served as they tend to be a bit slow at the till but are very courteous and explain where to find everything once you've paid. Food arrived in good time and is superb value. The cod was excellent and battered perfectly. Chips were better than your average oven-chip and decent peas too. Drinks will bump up the price a bit, but £11 for two cod and chips of this quality is a bargain.

This establishment has only a single self service coffee machine which is very slow, causing queues. Then there is more time spent waiting to pay where once again the till was slow or not working properly. It’s a pity this large supermarket company can’t be like others in the area and have real people to serve and take payment. Altogether a disappointing visit.

We often pop in on a Sunday, pre-shopping for coffee and a scone or something. Customer service is friendly, although a little slow. The tables are customer cleared but not all folk clean up after themselves, so a more regular sweep by staff is needed.

Visit here on a regular basis as we live very local. Food is always acceptable but as a general rule the presentation is really poor. Eggs are mostly slopped over the top of the bacon and are either burst open or getting towards being an omelette. The staff are usually helpful and friendly but can be a bit over the top with " is everything OK with you food" just as you have a mouthful of toast. Overall can't really complain but there are improvements needed.

Not been in this store for about two years or so. But popped in today & decided to go for a drink in cafe then had breakfast. I know it only cost £4.50 but you can still make it nice. My bacon was hard & dry my tomato was just a red blob it had been zapped in microwave till it was no more the under side of my fried egg was nearly black hard & crispy while the top uncooked sausages has stuck to pan or griddle & looked in a bit of a state beans were only luke warm my toast which were the crusts the ends of the loaf were just thrown on top of the breakfast !! my wife had the veggi option scrambled egg not mixed before microwaved so big chunks of cooked egg white did not look appealing also her big single mushroom had been cooked in the deep fat fryer & soaked up the oil like a sponge which then released it all on to her plate not nice. They say you get what you pay for !! I don't think it was even worth the £4.50 sorry we won't be returning

Called in for something to eat wish we had not bothered. First of all it was a busy day and there was one girl on the counter who had not got a clue about the menu it turns out she was new so not her fault in any way just the management for putting her on her own. Well another lady came and took over shrugged her shoulders and said she's new so I proceded to order two meals and two drinks and eventually did so. Well after a long wait here comes the meals mine was completely wrong so I sent it back my father's was right so he carried on eating eventually mine reappears and it was disgusting ok it was cheap but it was rubbish also they brought sauces we had no vinegar no ketchup just brown sauce and mayo so I asked for condiments and five minuetes after finishing our meals they turned up. They really need to get their act together it was dreadful in every shape and firm.

So me and my partner decided to get breakfast in the sainsburys cafe in hereford. We both orderd a full English and sat down to eat. It wasn't immediate but about half way through our breakfast it happend..... gutrenching knotting in our stomach resulting in first my partner being sick and then secondly me. With myself working in the food industry I did notice that the heat of the dinner wasn't up to standards as I ate one of the lukewarm cardboard sausages. It didn't taste right. Also another thing I noticed was how unhygienic the staff are! A lady went from having her finger in her ear to getting a cake for a lady!!!!. I think this establishment needs a surprise visit from the food standards agency. When me and my partner finally returned from the store we drove home and immediately rang. We were questioned immediately as to why we didn't say anything then and thier.... well would you if you were being embarrassingly sick in sainsburys?... They didn't take my claim to seriously and offers me a free meal thier... wich obviously I will not be taking up!. I think this restaurant needs to re think it's staff it's hygiene it's quality of food etc. Rude! Unhygienic! 0 stars out of 5!!!

Ordered a cooked breakfast, cafe only had a handful of people in it at the time. Waited a good 45 minutes for the food to appear, and when it did they forgot the hash brown and it was only just warm. Hygiene of cutlery was awful with congealed bits of previous use stuck to them. Also the plastic spoons supplies are not big enough to reach the bottom of the cup to stir any sugar. Wasn't expecting much from a supermarket cafe, but what they delivered was sub standard.

Place is ok but the coffee machine often seems to be broken and the filter coffee is too strong. Cutlery is not always "the best" but generally it is ok when in the area or when shopping. They seem to run out of things and be unable to get more even though you can see them in the store!So in summary, it's the best you are going to get here as there is nothing else close by.

The worst cafe ever. Its dirty, theres never enough cutlery, the service is slow and some staff are rude and seriously unhelpfull. I wonder how they pass the hygiene tests. They often cant sell coffee, (in a coffee shop!?), because the machine is broken. If you ask a staff member for something, I.e a spoon, you will often be greeted with the attitude of someone who has been inconvenienced. Avoid at all costs!

Oh my goodness, I accept dining in a supermarket is never fine dining but what we experienced was nothing less than totally unacceptable!!!! The service was rude, we were told to look a little harder to find the orange juice. Then when deciding what to eat, nothing looked over exciting, the hot breakfast food was dried up and considering it was 8.30 in the morning we found this less than apperitizing, as for the toast well if that had been in the toaster for more than 30 seconds then the toaster needs replacing, it resembled a soggy barely toasted slice of bread.My thoughts of this cafe would be stay away and look for another establishment to spend your hard earned money in.

Since Sainsburys took back the cafe from Starbucks it demonstrates why they gave it to Starbucks to run in the first place and that they should stick to supermarket trading. I have kept trying to give it a chance, but without exaggeration the last 5-6 visits over 3 weeks have left me questioning how a major PLC can allow such a poor level of offering continue to get worse without apparently taking action. A few examples are:Food offering: yesterday (31/7/13) when trying to order a cooked breakfast the family in front of me at the counter were told that there was no bacon in the kitchen so choose another item and the same for orange juice, except for the orange juice they were told to go into the supermarket and buy it and bring back to the cafe! ( I am sure that there was bacon also in the supermarket).The servery displaying food is uninspiring and half empty. There were no proper serviettes yesterday and the same today along with there being no wooden stirrers for coffee and so I was told to use a plastic straw. The staff are very slow and seem unsure of most things they do. After ordering coffee at the till the other person making the coffee, at a very slow pace, often has to ask those queuing waiting for coffee at the end of the counter what they ordered!Cleanliness - on last couple of visits I have noticed a slackening in cleaning tables and chairs. Compared with the Starbucks experience the rapport generated by staff with customers is pretty non existent - I don't blame the staff but probably due to selection or lack of training in the basics of customer service.

This is a review for the Sainsbury's cafe in colchester. I had been there before but each time in gets worse and worse. There was people everywhere trying to get different food.My daughter wanted a pizza but She couldn't because they forget to put the oven. After waiting for 20min everyone had ordered and got there food but we had to wait for my daughters pasta. There was no clean tables and all of the cutlery was dirty. After waiting for 15mins I went of to see where the pasta was. The staff who were unhelpful had forget to but in on. I will not be going back there again in a hurry.

This is our review of the Warrington Cheshire store. We had visited the sainsburys cafe on a number of occasions, we mostly found the tables dirty, the knifes and forks, which were suppose to be clean, were often still containing food, we did resort to even taking in our own knifes and forks, then the food started to go down hill very much, often cold, fish so thin and hard, very small portions for the money, 18 chips we once counted, the garden peas, sometimes, about 2 tea spoons full, often complained to the mostly, VERY UNHELPFUL STAFF, last time we complained, they redone the meal still no better, gave it the, back to do again, 20 minutes later, no meal, when asked, they said they were not doing it, and would not refund the money, went to store manager, and after an argument, and I asked why take meal away, as though were doing again for us, and say nothing, and throw it away, she said, I shall have to ask them that, she then got us another one sorted for me and may brother, it was fish, chips, and peas, this time it was better, but we spent ages sorting it out, I had not eaten much that day, and needed a meal, as I am diabetic. Avoid sainsburys cafe, it's rubbish. Go to Toby Cavery, if you can, very nice staff, and excellent quality food, and great value.

As I was working in Hereford and staying near to Sainsbury decided to eat lunch hereI thought the price looked good value, but for a company as big as Sainsbury portions were small and my burger took a lot longer to come out than other food

The service has always been slow and the coffee not very warm but today I had a muffin with my coffee and it was stale, I did ask for a refund but that not the point there is nowhere else to go nearby.Every one seems to be rushing around but the service is still rubbish and trying to pass off out of date muffins to customers is disgusting.Come on pull your fingers out and provide the service you should.

Great improvement since store has been updated and upgraded. Staff are usually friendly but service of food can sometimes be quite slow although it is at least freshly cooked to order. Overall a good choice of meals and snacks - the best of the supermarket cafes available in Hereford.

Staff disinterested - food limited, had run out of many dishes, were unable to advise what was available - this was at 13.00 - so should have been middle of lunch service.

We went to the Sainsbury's store just outside Rayleigh, Essex.I was not expecting much but we needed to have lunch after shopping at the store.We had a long road trip ahead, so we popped in for a bit to eat.As another reviewer said, it looked a bit grungy because the tables hadn't been cleared. However, the girls who served us were very pleasant and attentive.My husband had a wrap and I had soup and a sandwich. The food was very tasty and fresh.In fact, I couldn't finish my sandwich and took the rest with us. When I had it the next day, it was still unbelievably tasty and still fresh.

Having stayed at the Travelodge opposite the night before we called into Sainsburys for breakfast. Big mistake. We ordered four meat free (veggie) breakfasts. When it arrived there were no veggie sausage on the plates. When I asked where they were I was told they had run out. First, why didn't they warn us at the counter and second, this is Sainsburys, they have a shop full of produce to call on. When I pointed this out they offered to go find some and bring them to the table. Then we noticed the beans were stone cold. On the positive side the fried eggs were great.

My husband and kids call into this cafe whenever we've shopped at the store. This is for two reasons only. One - convenience. Two - the lattes are gorgeous and so are the brioche teacakes. We have taken to taking with us our own disinfectant wipes because, without doubt, we will have to clear away a table ourselves. Even when the cafe is quiet most of the tables are dirty. The regular cafe staff are the most miserable bunch of women you could ever wish to meet and I'd be surprised if they could muster up a smile between them. They mope about the cafe with the enthusiasm of a wet lettuce and the speed of a sloth. Occasionally you'll come across a friendly lady or two and you can bet your bottom dollar that they are usually on the tills. The service is slow despite a large notice telling you that your meal will be delivered to your table within minutes. I always say I'll never go back again but convenience always prevails. It's such a shame because if it were run better and had a complete change of staff then it would be a little gold mine.

Old place, they told us that they were going to renovate it, the accommodation cost 80 and they don't have many, clients have a side access.
