Good coffee and just such nice people - and real freshness and value to the food. Nothing too picky or fancy but it's just so simple and GOOD.

This article prompted me to do just so and I am sad to say that I was mightily disappointed!! The coffee was actually quite good, but that's where our positive experience of this cafe ended!! The service was lackluster to begin with, 3 staff couldn't manage to get 2 coffee's to us within half an hour of ordering, and upon departure my thankyou was straight out ignored! Despite the proximity and convenience of Bomb's locale we shall not be back!! Good coffee but this place bomb's out in the hospitality stakes!!

She learned French out of a book. She refused to conjugate verbs: said it wasn't necessary for comprehension (e.g. I to go to market. You to want to come tomorrow?) so she would say "Je aller au marche. Tu vouloir m'accompagner?" And all with a woeful accent. But she could communicate perfectly well. It was a phenomenal piece of lateral thinking. This reminds me of a Texan I met in the absolute boondocks of Mali. She learned French out of a book.

"thank", he said, when i gave him the money for the beer. when last i visited, the chap behind the bar at ilk spoke using no plurals whatsoever.

I think there's too many pubs between here and there. Anyway, I found it very hard to read beyond pastry with custard and raspberries....mmm.....
