Lovely looking place and cosy but terrible service at the front desk. The girl working there on 18DEC2023 around 1630pm didnt seem interested in being helpful. Also assumed we had been there before and didnt explain that there is a restaurant (not called Sassy Elephant, but O'Connor's) and a cafe (Sassy Elephant). Sat down in the cafe having been put in the restaurant only to realise that the menu on the Sassy Elephant website is not the one in the actual place. I pointed that out and I swear the girl behind the desk was either daft, didnt listen to what I was trying to explain or just wasnt interested. Turns out the menu is for Bubba Drew's next door! Management - sort out your website. You have your menus in the wrong restaurant. We wont be back to Sassy Elephant again.

Food was excellent as always however staff need watching when it comes to the bill. Added a £5 tip at the till, or so I thought. When I checked at home they had added nearly £4 more. This is the second time they have overcharged me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Great food, shame about the staff.

Love this place.... But, guys can you please clean your menus. They are dirty. I know what I want each time I visit, but again when a child with autism sees this they will not want to return. I have said this a few times to waiting for staff and still never a change. The place is spotless. Food excellent. Service excellent. Prices are great. Will always return for breakfast lunch and dinner.

Very disappointed. We just had dinner in bubba drew and my son wanted chocolate donut as he loves them. So we went in sassy elephant buy them obviously we know most coffee shop owners buys them frozen and defrost just what they using that day but his donuts was that old was crumbling and had old bread smell. Unfortunately I see that just when my son eat chocolate part as he carried that donut in bag home .

Waited 45 minutes for our lunch (two soups and a wrap) to come and by the time it did our tea was cold, drinks were finished and coffee was freezing. When the soup did arrive it was absolutely stone cold. Probably stupidly just ate it rather than send it back to have it microwaved and forgotten about again. Not the first time I’ve waited and safe to say I won’t be back, don’t waste your time (literally).

We visited this little place this afternoon with our two wee granddaughters aged 4 and 2. The girls had ice cream served by a very friendly and helpful young lady. We had coffees and again the service was really good. There were only 5 other people in the little place so it was ideal for us with young children. We were impressed with the friendly service and fair prices.

While being the most convenient place to nip to when you work in the cinema next door, it’s a great place nonetheless. Food is always top notch and a semi fair price for what you get, £1.25 for a can of soft drink is overcharging a little bit though

Staff are friendly. I was only there for a coffee, so I can't comment on anything else, athough the coffee was mediocre. There's a nice atmosphere inside but they really could do with fixing the way the inside door opens every time the outside door is opened This creates a major draught into the place.

Have vistited here twice in the last few weeks just for a coffee & sweet treat. Very reasonably priced compared with other more recognised coffee house brands. A good selection of tray bakes, muffins, cakes etc but also serves hot meals & sandwiches/wraps. There is also a great range of ice creams and milkshakes to choose from. Friendly staff too but the only reason I mark it down is because it can be quite cold & particularly draughty at times because of the vacuum effect caused everytime the door opens in the adjoining Bubba Drews.

Used to call in here once every few weeks for their awesome pancake stack with bacon and cream. The pancakes used to be a respectable size but then they started serving what looked like store bought pancakes and serving them up for the same price, wasn't happy.Also, on the counter where you place your order are menus for Sassy Elephant and Bubba Drews next door (same parent company) I asked if it would be possible to order from this menu just out of curiosity and the woman serving me was very rude and abrupt. What's the point in the menus being there????Finally, the coffee served here in very poor.

I am a regular visitor and have finally gave up on Sassy. The door in has never closed properly, so a lot of tables are in direct line for blasts of cold air. To add to this double doors are kept open between Sassy and Huskey Joe. More cold air and a constant stream of waiting staff carrying drinks between all three connected restaurants. More cold air hits the tables at the door connecting with Bubba Drews.

I don't know why I don't like the place more than I do but I just can't warm to it. The last time I was there, the menu's were dirty and the bench seat that I was sitting on had a big hole ripped into it. On the other hand the food is pretty good. The staff very young and the last time we were there the service was very good. Which was a bit of an improvement from the previous times we have been. We have been there more than once and most likely will be again. I honestly can't say what my hang up is!

I went in here after the cinema with 9 kids as a birthday treat for my daughter, I had checked the menu beforehand and to be honest it was going to cost a small fortune to treat 9 kids to a birthday dinner after the cinema so instead we planned to get the kids ice cream. There is a novelty ice cream van where they serve the ice cream, this was great and all of the children queued up and asked for their ice cream choice. They all got small tubs and it cost just over £12 which was ok I thought, then they all sat at one of the tables to eat it before going home. The staff were kind and friendly with the kids I could not fault the Sassy Elephant at all on the day we visited.

We have been to the sassy elephant a few times and love their panninis,but tonight my daughter and i went out for tea and ordered them, they came to us luke warm and hardly any filling in them compared to usual so i asked the server if she could get them heated up which she did without hesitation, when they returned they were hotter but filling was not to the usual standard we love the relaxing surroundings in the sassy elephant but i think i might just stick to coffee or their ice cream from now on.

This is madness to me why can they not take your order like normal places? There cakes are lovely but made a bit big an therefore can be too sweet in one sitting.

Just left sassy elephant completely bewildered at the terrible customer service I received. I placed an order and the girl said is there any tables ( her job to look not mine) she then said there isn't . My husband said we would order and wait . She replied I can give it to you in a takeaway box or you can go somewhere else. We were speechless. This isn't the first time this girl has served me and I felt her customer service skills were very poor. We did as she advised and took our custom elsewhere.

Was here today with my 2 aunts and nana and ordered toasties and the chicken and bacon stack. My aunt who had the toastie said hers was dry and over cooked with very little chicken in it my other aunt had the chicken stack and her bun was more or less burnt and also very little chicken in it. Nana didnt have any complaints and i had the bacon stack and the bun was dry and there wasnt much taste in it. I ordered diet coke and it wasnt very cold and instead of tins or the plastic bottles they have the glass bottles which works out more expensive and not value for money! My aunts were disappointed for the first time and i was disapoointed for the second time needless to say i wont be back and i dont think my aunts will be either their sister restuarant bubba drews is far nicer!

never receive a receipt never mind a smile, food ok but as for the menu be very careful as it is misleading regarding prices.....it states"mixture of scones, fresh cream & jam £1.49".........which I and other friends have been getting most days with a coffee but on a recent visit was charged an extra £1 for fresh cream. When I asked the girl she said yeah its actually £2.49 we have been charging you an your friends on all visits that amount,to which I responded it clearly states on the menu different. I wouldn't have noticed only on this particular visit I only brought enough money for a scone and coffee. Will never be back as over a period of 3 months Ive been charged an extra £1 for a squirt of fresh cream, the scones have got smaller and the staff would need to be re-trained on their customer service skills.
