Balmforth & Co Newark

This is our favourite cafe in Newark

Coffee, food and service is excellent!

Me and my partner came for a late breakfast at midday on Saturday , when ordering our food and drinks the staff behind the till were not very polite and we were told we weren’t aloud any drink that had milk in it as they only had 3 milk cartons left but they then served multiple other people coffees and drinks containing milk. When bringing us two bottled orange juices and some water the waiter didn’t say a word or smile when we were trying to be friendly, smiling at her and saying thanks. After observing her attitude with other customers she was friendly towards them and smiling while serving their drinks and was only cold towards us. My partner and I are both women and as much as I hate to think this I do somewhat feel as though it was some resentment towards us due to who we choose to date and that didn’t sit right with me and didn’t make us feel very comfortable or welcomed. Although the service from the till staff was a bit of a let down, the food on the other hand was great! And the kitchen staff were lovely as well as being very quick to bring our food out to us with smiles and politeness. Real shame the till staff weren’t as good as the food!

I love this place

Great reasonably priced coffee and no extra charge for oat milk always a bonus. Friendly staff too. Always support local businesses!

Great place for a snack, coffee or meal the staff are friendly with reasonable prices

Very good full English breakfast, well cooked and hot. Plenty of toast and butter to accompany it with a decent pot of tea.

Fab place highly recommend but gets busy

Lovely food, fast service. Thanks again
