Coffee House

We called in for breakfast; the menu looked good with a reasonable selection: we both went for a breakfast baguette.
The Cappuccino coffee was quite good, and the food when it arrived looked quite nice, although why a bacon and egg breakfast baguette was served with a small salad on the side is beyond me!
Unfortunately there weren’t any condiments on our table, so I ‘rescued’ some from the table next door. Unfortunately there was no bung in the bottom of the pepper pot, so no pepper. I adopted another pepper pot from a third table, and started to liberally add pepper to my cooked egg. Having done this I paused, because the pepper was a strange red-​brown colour. I sprinkled some into my hand and sniffed at it definitely not pepper. I asked for assistance and explained my problem: it certainly wasn’t normal black or white pepper. The waitress explained oh that’s Cayenne pepper: it is supposed to be in the kitchen, someone’s brought it out again. She got me a pepper pot from a fourth table, and this time it was pepper.
The waitress did offer to replace my sandwich, but I made the mistake of saying it would be alright because we couldn’t afford the extra time. It was a mistake: I can’t recommend breakfast baguette seasoned with Cayenne, not nice.
Overall I’m not impressed, but this was mainly due to a stupid error of Cayenne in a standard pepper pot and it taking 4 tables to get working condiments! Salad with a bacon and egg sandwich? They really do need to try harder on the simple things.
If I lived locally I’d probably re-​visit to give them another chance, but I don’t think I will get chance to. Disappointing.

I would recommend this place to everyone. Service is great, food is excellent and it is reasonably priced. It does get really busy at times and therefore a wait can be expected.
