overpriced, small portions and they were heating things in the microwave like the sausages, just because theyre in Westbourne, they think they cab charge over the odds for basic food. never again! the Westbourne pub and also Saffron opposite offer much better food/drink and a lot better value. I wouldn't recommend this place sadly. It's such a shame as ive recently moved here.

Average food, very over priced, also witnessed sausages being cooked in the microwave. Very small portions for the price you pay. Obviously because of the area it's in they know they can get away with charging more... sadly won't be going again and if anyone asks I shall be truthful. Two small meals with a hot drink for two people £28!! As for the staff, when we asked to split the bill we we made to feel like it was a bit of an inconvenience to them.

We just came in for a sandwich for lunch. There was a good selection, however we thought that it was a bit pricey for what we were given compared to some other cafes. The food was okay, and the staff were really friendly. I got the mozzarella, ham and tomato toastie.

The 2 stars is for the position. We ordered 2 x brie and bacon panini's. The filling was almost non existent, a slither of brie which was mostly the rind and a small fatty rasher of bacon. It wasn't in fact a panini, more like a bread roll slightly toasted. A complete disappointment, especially as they were £8.50 each!

The good thing about this place is you know it’s always going to be poor service and average food so there is no disappointment. There is no extractor in the kitchen so one can always guarantee stinky clothing if you choose to eat inside and if you go anytime near 2 or 3 o clock then be prepared to be dispatched soon after or just have a cup of tea for £ 2.20.

Thought it would be nice to sit outside in the beautiful Arcade of one of our favourite places in Westbourne. We placed our order of a tea and coffee before we ordered lunch from there. The older woman bought out our tea and coffee and said “That’s £5:20 if you’re not having anything else” We didn’t get a chance to say we wanted lunch!!!!! So, we paid and talked about where to go for lunch!! Rude woman. As we were leaving I assisted 3 ladies (one with a mobility aid) and offered our table. They were very happy for the help and the rude lady came out and was not happy that two small seater tables had been put together to fit the 3 ladies on. I won’t be re visiting…. Have had similar experience in the same place previously

I am totally disgusted with the customer service in this coffee shop!! I won’t ever come here again. We arrived there and there were 5 of us altogether. We sat down and we pushed a second table together with ours. We all had cream teas. We were enjoying it as you do. We weren’t asked if we would like anything else. The manager whatever he was came over and couldn’t wait to get rid of us. All of a sudden a group of 3 people came in and our second table was whipped away from us under our noses whilst we were still drinking our tea and we were left with one table and one of us had to stand as our chair was pushed aside. Then I asked my son to go and pay with my card at the till because by this point we had all had enough and wanted to leave. My son was then told to go back to the table and they would come over to take payment. So 3 of our group went outside to wait and I sat at the table waiting with a friend to pay and it took 3 times for me to wave to one of the waitresses who were very unfriendly to come over and take payment. Eventually she came over and took our payment. I shall never set foot into this useless, unfriendly, disgusting place ever again!! Whilst we were waiting at our table ready to pay we noticed the rude manager was arguing and having a domestic moment with the staff over the counter. They don’t have a single clue!!!!! What a PLACE!!!! I would t recommend this dump to anyone!

Visiting Westbourne and needed to rest our legs and have a cuppa... we sat down outside, but inside the arcade (wonderful place to be!)... the owner came out and said they'd finished food for the day... we now realise he was close to closing! But he very kindly offered us tea and cake, which was wonderful! A large slice of warm Dorset Apple cake with a dollop of cream and a very generous large pot of tea without being rushed! Wonderful find, great value and we will be back!

Been a long time since visiting Westbourne ( Corvid) and revisited the Terrace Cafe in the arcade. This time along with my partner, the cafe was popular with nearly all the table outside occupied. We managed to get a table and ordered our coffee and eats. The service was quick by the waitress soon our coffee's came shortly after the food. Overall the service was very good, food excellent.

Terrible service. My mother in law and I popped in to have a quick milkshake before her appointment she needed to go to. The waitress was incredibly rude, when she brought the drinks over she made it very clear this was 6 pounds and rushed off to another table. I can honestly say we sat and quickly drunk the horrible milkshake and left. She clearly didn't want to waste her time making us feel welcome as we only ordered drinks. It's a shame cause if we had a nice time we would have gone back to eat something after the appointment. Will not go back

It’s lovely situated in the arcade with seating inside and out very popular with the locals. Nice chap who makes the food.

Walked into this cafe feeling hungry and cold, wanting something hot and with substance. I ordered. The transaction went through as I thought. Apple Pay payment. They started putting baked beans in the microwave and a jacket potato in the other microwave. One staff member started to make a sandwich. While making this sandwich he was trying to get a signal from the card machine. Holding it up in the air, then placing it near the cutting board. Wiping a dirty knife on his apron. This card machine was never wiped after greasy hands had touched it. He asked me if I had a card at hand. I was thinking surely this would not make a difference if their card machine could not get a signal. He then asked if I was local. Which I am pretty much. I felt reluctant to drive home get my card, then go back. From what I saw of the hygiene I couldn’t be bothered. I offered to leave empty handed. They were happy with this. This is my first and last visit.

Awful experience. The staff are very young and potentially not trained up sufficiently - not their fault at all. We came for breakfast, half way through pouring our tea from the pot, a lump of what I can only say felt like soggy toast or meat gristle came out of the tea pot into my cup! I called the waitress over and showed her, she asked if I wanted a new pot... I said I'd like to know what it was that came out of the pot and she said she didn't know. They replaced the tea cups and pots but the new ones also looked dirty with old tea stains on. I can only presume they don't wash their pots properly and a previous customer had dunked some food in it previously. Really made me feel quite unwell. I was surprised that they didn't send a manager over to apologise or show more concern. I wouldn't return.

Went in this afternoon. Had an amazing coffee but couldn’t but help feel like they were understaffed today. They were all rushing around working as hard as they could, but definitely could do with an Extra pair of hands. However, will not fault the quality of the coffee as it was amazing as normal. Don’t know if it’s an issue with lack of employees available or if that’s all they could put on at once but I felt as thought the level of service dropped due to this.

The staff were very rude and the building was unsafe and can cause you injuries. I went to the toilet to wash my hands and accidentally hit the top of my head on the door frame when leaving the bathroom (which was too low, despite me only being 5'11"). After I explained to whoever was in charge that I hit my head on the door frame in the toilet, she said that I should "use my eyes" and that there was writing on the other door frames (but not the one I hit my head on) and that I should look where I am going in the future like "normal people". I tried to explain that all that was needed was some padding or something colourful to stop people hitting their heads but she wasn't interested in my recommendations and was extremely rude and disrespectful, insisting that the writing she had was enough warning, and that it was my own fault I was injured. Not only was I left with a severe headache but was also treated so rudely and disrespectfully by a member of staff I'm never going back here again and recommend everyone else avoid this place also.
