Reviews for Kreem Cafe

Hubby and I decided to go to Kreem for lunch today and were bitterly disappointed.

I ordered a roast vegetable salad that was overheated in the microwave and they must have plucked all the potato out of the bowl in the cabinet as there was more of that than anything else. The pumpkin had not been peeled and was mushy ….. just no love in this salad at all. It was just thrown together.

Hubby ordered the filo and found that to be dry and also lacking love. Far too much filo for the amount of filling.

However, coffee was good.

Have heard mixed reviews on this place, so will give it another go. The people over from us looked as though they were enjoying their pizza, so maybe something fresh from the oven could be the answer.

Bit of a shame as it’s a great location and the layout of the cafe is very nice.

I have been coming to Kreem for over a year and almost every week. I love the breakfasts here. They had large hearty breakfasts which were 10/10 consistently. The coffee was great and quick. I would tell everybody about this place.

However in the last 3 months there appears to be some change to the staffing/chef and the menu. The menu is not as good as the previous, yes it has more selection however the food combinations are not mixed well. The chef is not as near as good as the previous. The food appears more fattier and not balanced. The poached eggs are hard. Also they get my order wrong. I noticed also they have been cutting out the amount of meat in the salads.

I rate highly because I am a loyal customer and hope that it can improve back to the standard it used to be.

I have just finished a cabonara and chicken salad and I must say with my very fussy taste buds that I had no problem eating it all.

Have tried their pizzas and absolutely find them a delight to eat to.

Awesome coffee. Food cabinets are stocked with deliciously, enticing choices and the menu adds further options; Lots of lovely cakes and sweets to choose from, too. Pizzas are available. This cafe is roomy, with seating options both inside and outside. The manager looks after his customers well.

OK coffee and a pretty interesting looking menu, but then I order peaches caramelised in brandy and brown sugar, served with French crepes and clotted cream. CLOTTED CREAM Wow! What they really serve is milk foam (they call it whipped cream!!!!) to the table. When I point this out, they can’t really understand what the problem is. Disappear behind the counter and studiously avoid any further contact. Clotted cream is something rather special, rare as hens’ teeth and is to whipped milk foam what steak tartare is to a frozen burger patty or caviar is to salmon roe! It is also called false advertising and I wish a real reviewer on them soon!!!
