I ordered avocado and scrambled eggs. It comes poached but i asked for scrambled. When my order came it was poached so I took it back. No apology, they just simply took it out the back chopped up the poached egg and gave it me back. Usually love this place but very disappointed. Food not great and staff not the best

I visited here just past lunch time but wanted something off the breakfast menu (which stated until 12…) they made me what I wanted regardless, which I really appreciated. I came here with my parents, my mum has been raving about this spot and I can see why. My food was delicious. We don’t often see healthier options at such a reasonable price. We were all very happy and will definitely be back.

Ordered two Americanos which we sent back as they didn't taste right. The replacements were just as bad but I couldn't be bothered arguing so we just left them.

The food here is pretty nice. I've had some really lovely bites to eat - the only thing missing is a full English (but there are loads of alternative options). The coffee is dreadful. Like, actually quite awful.

We stopped for lunch at Sage during the Earlsdon Festival on Bank Holiday Monday. Even though they were busy, the staff were warm and friendly, keeping everything clean, turning the tables quickly, but without pressure. A wonderful chicken pesto panini and smashed avocado, bacon and egg bagel were very good. Also had a decent sized side salad.

This cafe was located a short drive from my nans house. I had messaged the cafe to see if they would be so kind as to reserve us a table as my nan is anxious leaving the home and with the cold weather I didn't want to be looking around ,Marie kindly helped with this. When we arrived the cafe was packed and quickly realised how kind of them it was to reserve us a table. The menu was just right for the cafe with offering many lunch snacks including club sandwiches,soup,bagels paints and jacket potato. Unfortunately they had just sold out of jacket potatos but the chef kindly said if we were happy to wait a while he will cook some more for us. Take my word for it , it was worth the wait. Large fluffy and plenty of filling was well worth the money. In the time we were there we saw many customers a good sign of a very popular place. Would certainly visit again when in the area.

What a lovely place to enjoy a coffee, and the food was really tasty, lots of choice I took my disabled mum and son and they couldn’t have be more accommodating helping with mums wheelchair, making sure she was seated ok. I live in Kenilworth, where there are some really lovely coffee shops, but when visiting my mum in Coventry I can’t recommend Sage enough, friendly welcoming staff, and lovely food. Mum especially loves the milkshakes and freshly made cakes

Initially went in for the smashed avacado on toast because I have had this here before and it has been excellent. Once at the till I had spotted something else on the menu I thought I might try. Chicken avacado salad. Ordered and sat down in a window seat. The order was delivered surprising quickly considering how busy it was. The grilled chicken was delicious, tasty and the salad was fresh and crunchy, just how I like it. Dressing was also spot on. Couldn't fault this visit. Highly recommend!

Made a special effort to get to Sage for lunch before work as the chicken and avocado salad take away I had the previous Monday was so delicious I wanted it again - I was not disappointed. Yummy! Marie gave me a great little table in the front garden where I could watch the world go by. Service was superb and the place was full and buzzing with everyone I saw enjoying their dishes and enjoying their Sage socially distanced experience in general. As each table left, the staff cleaned and reset ready for the next customer. They made sure each party size had the appropriate table and I thoroughly enjoyed my little pit stop. My salad was excellent; juicy hot chicken, spicy cous cous and a colourful array of leaves and avocado. Very filling.Will be back on Monday and bringing a friend In on Tuesday .... the temptation of the delicious cakes is too much Well done Team Sage

We came here on Wednesday (one of the hottest days of the year!) All staff were brilliant even working in PPE. Food was amazing, (read a previous review about the salad looking like it’s from Tesco’s, actually made me laugh as it’s nothing like that) you can clearly see all food is made fresh with high quality ingredients. Anyway if your in Earlsdon definitely pop in, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Sage xx

Popped in for dinner yesterday and wasn’t massively impressed. The service wasn’t the best but the food was ok. They have a few options on the menu so something for everyone- sandwiches, toasties, paninis and jacket potatoes. I had the toasted club sandwich which came with crisps and slaw. Nobody was following social distancing even the staff seemed to be ignoring the clearly labelled floor arrows

Dissapointing and chaotic service when I popped in for some lunch. Poor attempt at managing a smooth operation for social distancing. Initial entry invoked being shouted at from behind the bar to shut the door on other people behind me which is fine. I then sat at a small table and got my laptop out for a working lunch. A group of over 8 who had turned up to this small cafe for lunch then were deemed priority and i was told to pack up my stuff and move tables to where another group were just leaving in order to make way for the group of 8. I was rushed over and stood waiting for the table leave and it wasn't even wiped down or cleaned before I was told to sit there!! Talk about safety measures and being kind to customers. Twice I had different tables orders brought to me that I had to turn down. Before my salad was then taken to my original table!! To which I had to call from across the cafe to receive... Despite being moved on staffs orders in the first place.The salad was okay, like a load of different left over tesco salad pots thrown on a plate like packet cous Cous, some coleslaw and dry pesto penne. Just okay, fine with the eat out to help out scheme but would have been majorly dissapointed had I paid the full price!Really dissapointing experience. Was excited for my working lunch and came away feeling stressed, unsafe and a nuisance to staff as a sólo diner. Really chaotic manner and showed little to no ability to look after customers with any care.

We would honestly give this establishment a good to very good rating. I would like a trip advisor rating of good however this site has not got one. Although there is a good selection of gluten free cakes which we enjoyed there is a small selection of hot food this is a very good place for coffee and perhaps our late arrival we arrived at around 3pm there was no hot food as there was at least 30 minutes wait the cakes were good especially the coconut the chocolate brownies were very small and could be looked at. A very reasonable priced establishment and with good efficient staff there is no alcoholic drinks here. We had to wait more than seven minutes for our frappe and smoothie we will return again for an early breakfast or lunch which have bacon and other food available worth having a look especially in the morning we have noticed that this establishment has been busy throughout the last few days and with this heat we are having has exceptionally great air con unquestionably the best in Earlsdon for this it was also very well laid out and clean

My Mum comes here regularly, she has dementia and likes to go somewhere 'familiar' and watch the world go by over a coffee and her avocado on toast. Sage is a buzzing cafe with a nice menu and decent coffee so is popular. Mum especially likes that she is welcomed like an old friend and treated like someone special. Touches like this are so nice. When I finish work and am able to take Mum out for lunch regularly I think Sage will be top of the list.

I have been frequenting in what used to be Zafiri's for many years. These day's i only manage to visit when i'm back from holiday's. The new owners are fantastic. They are genuinely lovely people. From what i have seen Marie and Andy somehow have time to speak to everyone. For us elderly people it can honestly make your day when people can take time to speak to you and see how you are. The food is lovely, and the cakes are always delicious. I have noticed the standard of food has drastically improved since the new owners have been here, as i say i only visit a few times a year but what a brilliant effort they have made. The new shop front looks fantastic also. 'Sage' is now for me the best coffee shop on the high-street and i will be coming back again soon.

I visited Zafiri's, or 'Sage', today for coffee with my partner. We have lived in Earlsdon for a while now and are slowly getting around to checking out all that the area has to offer. We had been told to try another coffee shop further up the road which has great reviews but Zafiri's was the first one we passed and so as we had walked past it a few times we decided to try it out this time. The first issue for me being female and with a disability was the problematic toilets. When we entered the women's loo was already occupied and there was only one toilet allocated for use by women. You would think by the fact that the women's loo also trebled up as the baby changing room and disabled toilet that they didn't get many female customers so I looked around and actually it was no surprise to me that 80% of the customers in the place were women. I counted twenty or so people only four of whom were male yet the men had more than one loo available to them. In the space of ten minutes I counted four women, five including me, having to queue to use the toilet and in that same time only one young boy having to enter the men's toilet. As a disabled woman there was no way I was going to be able to use the toilet in urgency, able bodied males however would have no problem at all. When the coffee arrived to us at the table it tasted terribly watered down. Needless to say we won't be going there again with so many other lovely little coffee shops nearby.

Myself and friends have used Sage @ Zafiris weekly both before and after the present owners took over and can verify they have not only maintained but improved on this ideally located establishment, providing a bright friendly atmosphere to eat drink and chat. We have always found the service to be genuinely friendly and the quality of drink and food to be excellent.

I live local and appreciate the competition of the high street,especially when it comes to coffee shops but unfortunately I always find Zafiri’s disappointing. I’ve been a handful of times, leaving long periods in between visits thinking it might improve but sadly it never has. The manager seems lovely & always friendly when there however the staff tend to come across rude and not very helpful. I think customer service goes a long way so it instantly puts me off each time. The menu choice is ok but expensive especially when the quality of food is substandard. Cheap ingredients, poorly made. I think when you pay to eat/drink out certain criteria should be met but a slice of cheap bread from the one stop next door, barely heated, topped with half a tub of spread doesn’t equate to an appealing breakfast especially at the price they charge. I’ve chosen something different each time but have felt let down each time!! It’s a shame as it’s a comfortable seating space which has a nice feel about it..until the staff appear and don’t allow that feeling to continue.

I walked in here after a walk around the local area, as i sat my boyfriend went to counter. I was thirsty and took out my bottle of water drank some and put it on the table within seconds a man was on me in a tiss and extremely loudly said they had water there ("you know") and to not drink from my bottle. 1. I'd bloody hope you had water and 2. I was waiting for my drinks. I actually felt like a child from a man who then expected me to spend my money like an adult.

We live locally and have been to Zafiri’s coffee shop a number of times and have always been happy with the service and food. We visited today and we were very disappointed and appalled, we ordered food and coffees. The food and coffees came out timely and looked lovely although when I was eating my food I found a hair in my food. I spoke to one of the staff ,I gave them my food back and I stated I didn’t want another one. They took my plate but didn’t say anything - not even I am sorry. A few minutes later they brought a refund to me and again never said anything not even an apology, in fact their reaction and lack of response I found rude. Unfortunately and sadly we won’t be back. It saddens me that such a lovely, local shop so close to my home doesn’t see the importance of customer service! An apology or even a comment to show remorse for the incident would have sufficed.

For tea and cake Zafiris is very good. However I gave up ordering food a long time ago. Not only is it realtively expensive, it also takes a while to arrive and looks sad, and unloved when it finally does. The bread, margarine and fillings seem to be of very cheap quality. The sandwichs, paninis and bagels are flat and presented without any garnish or effort. The soup was no better and appeared to be a generic supermarket can poured into a bowl and microwaved to boiling point.

Have visited this cafe regularly for years. However recently it has gone considerably downhill. They are always out of certain things on their menu, the service is ridiculous, always receiving food and then having to wait another 10 minutes before your drink arrives. After going in yesterday for some lunch I will definitely never be going back, there are plenty of other cafes on earlsdon high street which I would much rather give my money too. After ordering and paying more to sit in the cafe and not take food out, the waitress bought over my milk in a plastic cup and said they didn't have any mugs left. The cafe was empty!! Which is not a suprise. After complaining and asking for a mug, the manager came out who looked as if he could not care less about keeping his customers. His attitude is appalling and no wonder there has been 'staff wanted' signs up for about the past 2 years. His reason for them apparently having no mugs was because they were all out and had previously been busy, yet there was barely anyone else in the cafe! It was a joke, it seems that washing one mug is too much effort for a paying customer. Eventually they brought out a mug after being in the cafe for 25 minutes.

I've been going to Zafiri's since it opened and I really can't fault it. My whole family enjoys this local cafe and my 3 1/2 year old daughter loves the children's food on offer, especially the tastiest and milkshakes. The place is always immaculate even though they do get extremely busy at peak times. I particularly like the extensive range of herbal teas and melts/bagels. Very child friendly as tables not too close so plenty of room for prams and buggies. Beautiful homemade cakes and a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.

Zafiri's has a good corner position half-way up the street with windows on two sides; main plus point is the ramped entrance and decent amount of space inside for pushchairs and customers compared to nearby cafes. Sold out of baguettes by early afternoon on both of my visits but decent sandwiches (inc one vegan hummus option) & fair choice of fresh cakes plus Lazy Days products & similar options.

Called in for a quick bite as a family. Milkshake range is good and they are made fresh. Paninis were ok but could be filled more. Staff were so friendly and couldn't help more. Server talked through the food choices and knew his menu well! Chocolate cake was a huge slice and again was nice and fresh. I like that everything is cooked as ordered and not sat waiting for customers. Will certainly visit again.

Up until recently I'd been a regular visitor to this cafe when in the Earlsdon area. However, the appeal of Zafiri's has waned of late and today was the final straw. Cajoled into eating there by my 8 yr old daughter I handed over £14 for a tasteless panini, reformed ham dished up between two slices of white bread and two soft drinks was bad enough. Served up by staff who didn't appear to give a toot was the cherry on the cake.

Zafiri's is a nice little café in Earlsdon. The food it pretty good, though their menu is not very extensive. I generally always get a Panini or Bagel and the filling is always of a good quality.

Went here for a quick lunch and was disappointed. Staff were miserable and it's the only place where I got my food before a drink. The place wasn't exactky packed but staff were not very organised. Quite expensive for what you got too.

We come here for lunch every time we visit our family in Allesley - lovely food and friendly staff. Plenty of choice for cooked food or sandwiches and cakes

This is always my first choice for coffee and cake and a meet with friends. I've always found it to be really friendly and the service is quick. They are child friendly and dogs are welcome to sit outside on thee terraced area. Whether it's a winter warmer; a post gym treat; a coffee meet or a milkshake morning, this is the coffee house to do it in. Forget Millsys for coffee - they are rubbish compared!

Nice coffee house, excellent food and cakes. Nice atmosphere and very friendly. Not very big and often full but worth it.

My husband and I called in for breakfast while visiting friends in Coventry and were very disappointed. On entry it was bright, spacious and clean however the staff are cold and unfriendly. And please don't EVER pay with a scottish £20 note as they look at you as if you've just landed from Mars! The food is nice enough but not exceptional. Next time we're in Coventry we definitely won't be going back to Zafiris.

I visited Zafari's on the rebound from the other coffee shop across the road, so was probably not in the best frame of mind when ordering my coffee. Zafari has a wide clean and refreshing seating area. The coffee was nothing special, my Americano lacking the quality creme you get from specialist providers but very drinkable. The cakes and snacks were well presented and looked fresh. The staff were attentive even though they were going through their cleanup duties at the close of the day. All in all a restful relaxing coffee was enjoyed, just what I needed.

Just do not ask for hot Latte, butter on bagel. Liked it four years ago but it certainly has changed. Girls just give a smile now and again. We are after all the customers.

Coffee is unbeatable, staff are great and food (especially confectionaries) are to a high standard. As a regular customer I will always take my friends or visitors here as they accommodate most palettes and it is a nicely decorated place.

Popped in for a drink and sandwich. Really good hot chocolate, nice and hot. My wife's latte was quite weak. The sandwich was nice and fresh. Nice comfy chairs but the light weight tables are a bit budget and move to easily leading to spillage.

Nice place, good menu, looks like they have a "proper" coffee machine but they serve instant Nescafé style coffee. Couldn't believe it... Everything else was fine, but I haven't paid a couple of quid for an instant coffee in my lifetime. Bizarre.

I've been to this establishment twice now and both times the staff have got my order wrong. On this particular occasion I ordered a my food to take away as I was on my lunch break. The food came within 10 minutes of waiting, however it was not what I ordered. It was not until I got back to the office that I discovered this, which as you can imagine is very annoying as I simply do not have the time to be walking back and forth. I could understand if they were busy, as mistakes happen but there were only a handful of customers in there.The prices are not particularly cheap but I am a firm believer of 'you get what you pay for'. Obviously this is not the case in this establishment.

Properly fuming at the idiot who runs a Zafiris cafe in Earlsdon. We had an incident a few weeks ago where we let after he asked me to control my child (who was sat on the floor quietly playing with her toy cat) I put a bad review on their page, and he's escalated it saying she was on a wet floor, in the path of hot drinks! How dare you accuse me of putting my child in harms way!

Nice coffee place to enjoy a nice sandwich (I'd recommend bagels) in a very nice area of town. Meal for 3 with hot drinks for 20 Pounds

In the centre of Earlsdon, this is an unpretentious, straightforward cafe with class. The owners really deliver a quality service to their customers. They have a vision for what customers want: affordable food and drink with a bit of an edge. Don't be surprised if the boss joins you for a coffee and asks you what you think. It's that kind of place. It's friendly, welcoming and honest.

Visited recently and wanted a cup of tea. Was given a warm welcome by the lady serving and she even carried my tray to my table. Very pleasant surroundings and excellent cakes

Unfortunately, we had terrible service today 10/11/24. Waited over an hour for our drinks, asked for them 3 times but ignored. Eventually when someone finally we got our drinks after we had finished our food. One meal arrived and as it was being eaten a big hair was found, meal returned and refunded but no acknowledgement of the terrible service or apology. Won't be returning.

The staff cutting the sandwich for me was totally untrained, he cut the sandwich with the plastic cover on. I had to cancel the order.

I love the rocky road slices I treat myself to them occasionally. first time from this costa will be the last the slices are definitely cut shorter which means less product and tasted stale
