Tesco Cafe in Reading

One star because very variable level of service depending on staff. One week it's brilliant and friendly the next it's surly and off hand. It doesn't matter if food is good if you have a nasty taste in your mouth from the customer service. Two and half stars for the breakfast. Full English breakfast is just that full; egg, bacon, hash browns, baked beans, fresh tomato, sausage and toast. Drink is extra. With ability to swap items for extra of other items. Overall the ingredients quality is average. Great shame it cannot be excellent by purchasing quality ingredients from Tesco assuming the ingredients do come from Tesco and not from wholesale suppliers. Five stars for: Parking a breeze. Cafe itself open and airy with new layout. Cleanliness excellent.

Love the revamp and great new menu A vast improvement Really good service very friendly staff 10/10 Highly recommended

Ordered two breakfasts here for myself and my wife. They got the breakfast order wrong. To save any confusion I handed both plates back to the person who bought them out and asked for it to be rectified. The fried bread was greasy, the sausages are cocktail sausages, the beans were fresh about 9 years ago and the sauce was 1 month out of date. I have been on the toilet 8 times today after eating this s**t. Avoid this place it's cheap and nasty not to mention out of date food.

The breakfast at the on site Cafe is dire. Probably the worst I've ever had! Greasy with a distasteful taste, the bacon was the cheapest ever, the sausage was disgusting. The only acceptable item was the tea. Given that this is in Tesco surely they can use high quality ingredients from the store at a discounted cost? Last time I will ever set foot in this Cafe.

Slightly below average quality and overpriced food with virtially no choice burgers or fish. Fish was not fresh enough for me chips were badly overdone and burnt. Staff member who served me was passive aggressive rude. Seemed to be people in there eating take away food they had bought in shop. Given the high prices charged this was annoying.

buono per una pausa pranzo. scelta tra panini e piatti caldi da ordinare che vengono preparati su ordinazione in cucina. una piccola tavola calda frequentata da chi lavora nelle vicinanze rappresenta un buon compromesso abbastanza economico e di media qualita', anche perche' si puo' raggiungere a piedi con una buona e salutare passeggiata. comodo anche per chi a pausa pranzo voglia fare degli acquisti nella adiacente zona commerciale

Good food and snack selection. Service can be improved. Great place for food for Tesco Shoppers or just coffee otherwise.

This is the most expensive supermarket coffee shop ever. The food is very basic, there's not much choice and you have to wait a very long time in the queue.

We went to Tesco to do some shopping and decided to pop into the cafeteria for some breakfast We waited for over half an hour which was fair enough because they was short staffed, but when the food did eventually turn up it was cold. We sent it back and when it came back it was even colder so back it went again and it came back it was even colder.

We arrived at the restaurant the choice was terrible. We had tea, hot chocolate, a sandwich and two scones. The drinks were both cold and terrible. The scones were disgusting they tasted awful. Took them back and was assured they were made this morning. The replacement that I chose was not much better. Overall a terrible experience

Not good if you're looking for a substantial meal; all that was on offer in front of us when we walked in was ham sandwiches (obviously useless for my vegetarian grandmother) and San Pellegrino. Ordered tea, when it arrived 15 minutes later there was about as much milk in it as in a spot. Refunded £7.40 overall just for a sandwich and tea which I find to be overpriced. Will not be revisiting anytime soon.

Why Tesco had to replace their restaurant with this cafe is odd. It was half empty at lunchtime. The two staff were uninterested and unhelpful with no customer service skills at all (more interested in checking their phones) Poor choice of foods (all wraps paninis etc ) and overpriced food and drinks. Lots of tables needed emptying and the sink was full of dirty cups. Avoid avoid avoid!!!

For a cafe situated in a Tesco store £2.90 for a medium cappuccino is well overpriced compared to other coffee outlets, opted for a coke @ £1.95 and was pointed in the direction of the glasses to find them all dirty, obviously taken from the dishwasher wet and covered in stains so had to clean one myself whilst being observed doing so by the staff! Floors also with bits of food everywhere needed a good sweep however staff texting on mobiles seemed more important. Get your act together Tesco!

Baristas here are well trained and friendly. Best Flat White in town !! Shame they don't do the berries smoothies anymore, it might be a seasonal beverage. Normal promotion - Every 6 stamps of coffee gets one free.

This Tesco owned chain has just replaced the good café that was here. Over priced and mainly empty with good reason.

After shopping at tesco in reading we decided to go to Harris and Hoole for a coffee. From the start where you order from was vague. We eventually got the attention of a staff member and ordered 2 large caramel latte. After taking our names...

We'd popped into this Tesco while in Reading and decided to visit the inhouse Harris + Hoole coffee shop too. I had an insipid Americano that tasted like it was made with tea and my wife had a mega-strong black tea supplied with a tea-bag...

The cafe offers a good selection of food and drinks but it tries too hard to be something it isn't.The tea bags are large bags hanging out of the side of the cups and the specialist soft drinks are a little odd. Good for a...

After the shopping is done all you're in need of is a nice cup of tea or coffee with the amazing slice of cake ... will have to taste all of them one of those days ☺

Having replaced the old typical style of supermarket cafe in Tesco at Caversham, Reading, Harris & Hoole are the most wonderfully unexpected surprise. Fantastic coffee, top notch cafe food, friendly baristas, perfect selection of music and a terrific modern yet comfy decor. The prices are...
