GLASS IN THE FOOD!!!!!!
Today, I visited the cafe with my son and partner for brunch. I ordered toast with avocado, pesto, poached eggs, and two extra black puddings, while my son had fish fingers with chips, and my partner ordered mashed eggs on toast. After a few bites into my meal, I felt something sharp in my mouth while chewing a piece of toast with egg. I immediately stopped and, to my shock, found a 4×3 mm piece of glass in my mouth. Thankfully, neither my son’s nor my partner’s meals contained glass.
When I brought this to the staff’s attention, they confirmed that something had broken in the kitchen but had not paused service or taken necessary safety measures to ensure no glass entered any food. Apologizing, they simply offered me a replacement, which I accepted because I was still hungry. However, upon receiving the replacement dish, I again noticed a glass-like sensation while chewing, suggesting that the avocado pesto or another component may have been contaminated.
The kitchen staff apologized again and refunded the specific dish, but this incident has left me shaken and concerned for the safety practices at Elm Grove Cafe.
I already sent the complaint to the city council email and will definitely complain to all related organizations.
Lovely cafe, breakfast was great. Scrambled egg on toast highly recommended along with the breakfast!
So nice.. high quality, fresh, delicious, tasty food. They have vegan and vegetarian option too. I had vegetarian breakfast quite filling and good for budget. Definitely go again.
Very nice place.. Every morning, I am here for their tasty coffees!☕
