Just got a panini to go... instead of toasting or grilling it to make the bread nice and crunchy, I got back to my office to discover it must have been microwaved as it was roasting hot in the centre and the bread was soggy. Really grim but I ate it as I was hungry and didn't have time to go back. £7.75 for a soggy panini and packet of crisps is kinda over priced. Very disappointing as their salad and pastas are usually good.

I had an apponintment across the road from Snax so was the obvious place to get some breakfast. I ordered a small coffee, a bagel with avocado & bacon. I was charged £9.00 which I thought was steep & didn't seem to add up this from the prices on the board. I sat outside & my coffee was brought out 1st. It wasn't particularly warm but I didn't say anything By the time my bagel & bits came - the coffee was cold. In addition, 1 side of the bagel was burnt, there was a serving of cream cheese - no avocado, & over cooked bacon. I said to the girl, that I had ordered avocado & was told I hadn't been charged for it. Another few minutes went by & a few slices of avocado came out - on a saucer - by this time my food was cold. The avocado was also straight from the fridge! I gave back the cream cheese, which by the way had black specks in it - not pepper I'm sure! Very disappointing, as I was at these premises some time ago & it was very good. Maybe a change of ownership? I will not be back & will advise others to stay away.

Popular cafe ideal for a quick bite for lunch. Irish stew is really good, but avoid ordering a jacket potato. On two separate occasions, I have been left disappointed. Potato was huge, and the amount of filling was minimal, ratio completely off. The filling I got was not what I ordered neither. Potato was very dry and bland, I was not asked if I wanted any butter. Please learn how to produce and serve a jacket as well as you produce other food items you offer as it lets you down as a business. I do not like paying £7.50 for a huge dry potato with no filling left after a couple of mouthfuls.

Male supervisor or ‘manager’ (questionable behavioural wise… rude & nonchalant), treated me as though he had other places to be or care for. Everything about my experience was disorienting & disorganised. It’s a basic tuper-ware catering company but I had to experience people shouting for a chef to put things in my full view into A CUP! NO PLATES BUT CHARGED EXTRA FOR TAKING A SEAT! Coffee was a disaster. 3 people behind tills, Doing nothing, dirty tables all around & who I believe was the owner demanding they stayed at their station. I was embarrassed for them. Will never be back. And realising that all their treats that would be served with coffee are out-sourced . PATHETIC

Always worry when offered scrambled egg because they have run out of poached and fried ones........ hardly fresh then. Ingredients tasted cheap on the sausage soda, and the sausage roll was off the takeaway shelf and drier than a camels butt crack. Coffee was okay, but when all considered the price to quality ratio means there are many, many, many better options nearby. It's a real shame, as it used to be good.

First time trying here afraid be the last. Ordered brown toast with scrambled egg, saug soda. Two white coffees one with extra shot. Food arrived 15 mins later scrambled egg was microwaved to inch of its life.it was awful and got white toast. Sat for another 15 mins no coffee had to go in front of everyone ask where is my coffee order. Came out like dish water no extra shot. Instead making a scene as my other half hates it when i complain we just left. What is the point complaining about badly cooked scrambled eggs. Bloody hell cant cook that shouldnt be in food industry. Wont be back

Well, I tried to reserve platters for a child's birthday party back in June. I emailed them my request and heard nothing. I did not expect to be ghosted. I tried calling and the phone just rang out. The night before the party I had to come to the reality that I had no food for the party the next day. No where else could accommodate me at last minute. I had to make my own bland ham and cheese sandwiches on the day of the birthday. Oh well, they lost out on £60+ not me. Avoid this place at all costs

Was told by a friend the soup here was great when they used to frequent it....So we drove down to sample the soup to warm us up on a chilly day.....we drove to a nice leafy spot to enjoy the soup...roast parsnip which was mine, and a veg tikka.....I can honestly say I have never tasted a more vile excuse for a soup....mine was like a slightly thickened vinegar..truly..all I could taste was vinegar......my friend tasted it and simply said....oh my god....awful.....they said the tikka was extremely disappointing too..and very watery..not anything like they used to buy......I can't believe someone actually tasted that parsnip soup and released it for sale!.....I make soup myself, and I have tasted many soups from lovely places in the city but this is the first time after 2 spoons it was all thrown away....inedible

Poor customer service. Sit-in breakfast was a pantomine. First server didn't make eye contact then called me madame, kept interrupting me as I placed my order. She rushed me through the process. I took the orange juice I ordered to a table and was told the food and coffee would be brought to me. The food showed up but the coffee didnt. Then a different server unable or unwilling to bring the coffee to my table yelled out for me to come to the counter for the beverage which was in a paper cup. Given that I paid the extra few pence sit-in price, the coffee got emptied from the paper cup into a mug and eventually brought to me. Meanwhile I'd managed to spill said orange juice. The only redeming element was when a third server came to my table and cleaned up my mess and moved me to another table. By this stage I had lost my appetite and as I had already paid for the meal I got up and left the breakfast unfinished and walked out the door.

Popped in after spotting this on our way to Tescos Express for sandwiches. So glad we did, the sandwiches here were lovely and fresh, well filled and really tasty, also a beef sausage roll ( didn’t know that was a thing) which was fresh, lovely soft pastry and very tasty. The staff were friendly and chatty and it felt like a really nice place to support.

I've recently started with an organisation in Linenhall Street, and despite being spoilt for choice in this area, Snax wins every time. One of the things I think that keeps me coming back is the staff, Becky and all the others are always friendly and obliging and chatty, which is more than can be said for a lot of places like this in the area! The food they offer is always fresh and varied. With Burrittos and specials and soup, sandwiches and curry. Another good thing about the place is definately price. Tea and toast in the morning is £3.50 or thereabouts. Lunch is £6-8 and they dont force you to buy a drink, there is water available (iced). All in all I hope they continue to thrive!

Unbearably slow. Food is good and staff are really nice but honestly I've stood waiting for my food for almost half an hour on multiple occasions. Definitely not somewhere you can just grab a quick bite to go. Complete wa ste of a lunch time if you want to go here. Also absolutely no organisation in terms of food collection. Once you order food you're supposed to wait beside the tills but there's always so many people waiting that there's no differentiation between the queue and the people waiting.

We booked on the day for a large group of 17 and were accommodated with a booth seated area which was ideal for our party. Service was slow and impersonal. We waited a while for some starters and mains. Food was mediocre. Chicken wings are tasty but large and awkward to eat. Steak sandwich was nice although not hot enough. It may have been sitting for a while before getting to the table. 3 of the group had Korean fried chicken was they said was disappointing. Overall it was fine but was expecting more based on the prices and the glowing Tripadvisor reviews!
