Cafe 21 - Lancaster

Costa Coffee make the worst drinks on the planet *and* charge you for it. I've had a cappuccino and a mocha from them both undrinkable. The coffee tasted like burnt dirt (probably worse than that though and the chocolate syrup in the mocha (why not just using drinking chocolate powder? was undescribly nasty. Please could we get Atkinsons coffee (or whatever it was before back? Or just get anything else? And please replace the other Costa on campus as it's the only place open on Sundays during the University holidays at times if coffee republique isn't open. At the very least you should be paying people to drink that nasty stuff, not charging them! The food is okay. Miss the variety of options. Now I think the only option is vegan cheese and baked beans on a baked potato for me. Better than some places though so can't complain too much. It'd be nice if lunch was served until a bit later, I think you stop serving it at 1pm.

The restaurant has a great location and faces little competition on campus for this type of food, but unfortunately, the portion sizes do not match the prices and the quality of the food falls short. Despite the shortcomings, the curry stands out as the best option. Be prepared for a long wait, so it's recommended to arrive for an early lunch.

The menu at this restaurant is a bit unusual, but suitable for vegans. Personally, I found the selection to be limited. The service was slow. It's an okay option if you are on campus, but not worth making a special trip for.

The old menu was great with a varied selection of foods. I enjoyed the curry's, the noodle salad and the burgers. Now the menu feels limited and the food is VERY oily. I ordered a vegetable salad and it was swimming in oil and I couldn't finish it (i love fatty foods but this was too much). I've had the burger from here and it was also very oily. Only thing I like from the new menu are the quesadillas which are really good. Its also a really nice place to go for business lunch as it is civilised and has a nice view. Hopefully you will be doing a xmas menu this year too! I missed out last year because of the floods!

Very tasty, well presented food, served quickly. Spacious seating and friendly staff. Views from the windows and the balcony added to the good visit.
