Pod Espresso

Desperate for a coffee and something to eat, we decided to give POD a go, as it was top rated according to google maps. I must say it truly lives up to its reputation. As usual, we grabbed a skinny cap and soy flat white. The skinny cap on the first sip was sweet and was closely followed with a hint of bitterness, which was quite enjoyable to me. My partner quite enjoy his soy flat white and was impressed with the presentation. Quote “ this is real flat white”. Another point well deserved (he is usually annoyed with ordering a flat white and ending up with something not right). As for the food, I grabbed their pesto chicken sandwich, which I thought was rather delicious. The bread was perfectly toasted, crunchy on the outside and the softness of the inside remained. The pesto was creamy and went really well with the chicken and fresh rockets. It also came in a good portion. They also had other items like the salami sandwich on the side, which also looked tempting. There was also a whole cabinet dedicated to cakes and slices, which was nearly impossible not to have a look at. Besides food and coffee, the service was great. The staff were friendly and greeted us the second we walked in. I really dug their chill and relaxing vibe. All in all, it was a really nice dining experience and will come back for more. Thanks for the hospitality. BTW, thanks for giving me “wings”. We thought it was lovely.

Absolutely horrible, I went there for a morning coffee while my partner had a doctors appointment. At first glance it seemed like a cute little cafe, but I couldn't find a menu ANYWHERE. I was then rudely and abruptly greeted by staff, which took me aback first thing on a Tuesday morning, so I just ordered the first thing I saw, a flat white, which I thought was not possible to mess up... My coffee was so foul I felt sick after the first sip, the milk tasted sour and burnt... so I had to throw it out. Now I'm going to McDonalds to get some better service and cheeper, tastier coffee from underpaid 15 year olds.
