Cafe Solway - Masterton

It was my first visit and was not too sure where the cafe was. I went from parking in front of the copthorne hotel. the outside area with playground looked great to meet. my soy-Mochacino was delish. my only problem was how long it took for me to be served. have to wait exceptionally long if there is no line. I would suggest that the cafe management commands look at and that is priority. I could have just walked out like the longest one I had to wait for my command. a better communication and organization between the employees would make the experience a 5 stars.

All the empty tables were full of used dishes and had birds eating from them. Table was only cleared once we sat down. Took ages to finally get our food, which was average.

Went for a coffee this morning. Didn't expect to wait over 15 mins as didn't appear busy. Won't be rushing back they were more interested in setting up for a private thing than my coffee.

Had finished my meal and my partners still hadnt come out. Poor service not even a smile as we walked in, felt like we were a hassle being there. Has potential if more welcoming. What I ate was nice but my partner asked for his money back after waiting 35 minutes longer than my meal came out.

I visited for the first time today. It’s a lovely little café with friendly staff, and at first glance, it seems like a great playground for the little ones. However, the closeness to the water is concerning, and the safety barriers around the playground could use some improvement.
