Reviews For Spring Tides

Henry Short

To start off, the food was so so tasty. My sister and I went about 11 on a Saturday, which I assume is probably peak time as there were lots of people in, however this did not stop the staff from giving brilliant service. The food came out so quickly and the staff were apologetic about the wait, which I was surprised about as it was quicker than most other restaurants even with the sheer amount of people in the restaurant. Our coffee’s were also really good, much better than anything you’d get in a Costa or Starbucks. Overall just an absolute gem of a brunch restaurant, I’d definitely come back here in the future!

Such a lovely cafe. I had an omelette with extras and it was so tasty. Also had two excellent flat whites. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, and I felt really comfortable, so will definitely be returning and becoming a regular.

UPDATE: January 2025. I have been in several times since my review in October 2024 and things are much improved. The food has arrived in good time. The staff are always friendly. The slight drawback is the acoustics are not very good - it is echoey and noisy. I have updated my rating to 5 stars. UPDATE: October 2024. Now under new management, we found the service to be extremely slow. Teas and coffee arrived in good time but three breakfasts took not far off a whole hour. We got a table as soon as we arrived and yes, it is busy (and very noisy - horrible acoustics) but if they know it will take a long time, why not tell us? This used to be a great little cafe offering breakfast and lunch but I am very disappointed in the service and will think twice before coming here again. I cannot rate the food because it hasn't come yet.

Lovely little spot for breakfast. Cosy atmosphere and the employees couldn’t be more helpful - really attentive and the service was speedy. Plus, we loved our pancakes! Although I didn’t bring my dog with me, it is dog-friendly, which is great for an independent cafe.
