Dousserie draws crowds for its pastries, specialty matcha drinks, and mains like grilled chicken chop, though what arrives depends partly on luck. Food quality is strong when the kitchen is focused, but staff warmth varies sharply-some visits feel welcoming, others chilly. Expect to queue at peak times and pay above local cafe norms; one reviewer flagged a staff member reusing gloves after handling garbage, a concern regulars haven't mentioned since. The space fills quickly and gets loud, which suits social visits but not quiet work sessions.
Matcha lovers and pastry hunters rate it highly. Delivery orders arrive inconsistently (soggy sides, tight portions). If you're price-sensitive or prefer calm seating, scout alternatives; if you love presentation and don't mind elbowing through a crowd, it's worth a trip.
The Burrow Cafe draws praise for its relaxed, intimate setting where soft music and attentive staff create a welcoming space to linger over coffee and cake. Reviewers consistently highlight smooth, well-made coffee and layered cakes, with occasional live music performances adding to the appeal on weekends.
Diners consistently praise the pasta, risotto, and house-made cakes, paired with friendly service and a relaxed, thoughtfully decorated space. Seating is tight, and busy periods can slow food delivery, but most find the quality and atmosphere worth the visit and the slightly higher prices.
Five-star visits praise the spacious, welcoming environment and generous portions of grilled chicken, fish and chips, and curries when cooked well. One-star visits report cold, bland food arriving an hour late, tiny portions, dusty tables, and pricing that does not match quality. The business handles bulk catering reliably and accommodates dietary needs. Kid-friendly touches like drawing boards and diverse menus appeal to families. But walk-in diners encounter unpredictable service speed, inconsistent cooking, and value concerns that explain the split ratings.
