    It was the weirdest afternoon tea we have ever been to! Paige our waitress was lovely but the whole atmosphere was odd - security is everywhere and who needs to be served by a waiter with a bandana sweatband on his head? I have never had a hot dog or macaroni cheese toastie although have to admit both were very tasty and the mini burger was great too but the robot waiter was just odd and a hygiene risk as no one knew who the food was destined for 🤷‍♀️ Would I go back? No. Is it a story I would tell others? - yes! Purely because it’s like no other afternoon tea I have ever experienced or would want to!

    Dear Pat, Thank you so much for your brilliant feedback! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear you had such a fantastic time with us at SOUND Cafe. It sounds like you truly soaked up the full experience - great food, lively vibes, and, of course, a certain little robot stealing the show! (We must admit, Bella is developing quite the fan club.)

    Very helpful waiter Dorios. Nothing was too much! Bottomless could include sides like chips and salad to make it better value for money.

    The service was really bad. Waited forever to make an order. No interest from staff, and for a long time there were obly the bartenders who ran both food and drinks. Far to few in the staff.
