Pleasant ambience, but terrible coffee.
Sourced from Cupsmith, the coffee was disgusting. I left it after one sip.
I was appalled by their low environmental standards, takeaway cups in both the riverside cafe and the foyer cafe.
This is a captive audience. They should not be serving drinks in takeaway cups.
Do they not care about the environment? Apparently not. 2.5 billion disposable coffee cups thrown away every year, and Farnham Maltings doing their best to keep the numbers up.
I was so concerned, I complained.
Their lame excuse, someone may drop a cup and there would be broken crockery on the floor.
That would be true in every single coffee shop, and the most pathetic excuse I have come across.
If that concerned, then use biodegradable cups, bins to drop in, then compost outside, spread on the flower beds. Do the same with the coffee grounds.
Take a look at what 3fe are doing on sustainability and follow their example.
Or buy HuskeeCups. These cups made from coffee bean husks can be re-used or recycled, will not break if dropped.
Their excuse for using Cupsmith was that local.
How local is local? The Roasting Party are in Winchester, there is a coffee roastery in Arlseford. Slightly further afield Horsham Coffee as used by Krema.
They serve Loseley ice cream. Apart from not quality ice cream, it is not local and comes from an industrial conglomerate.
Coffee served in Gail’s is not good. It should better, it is sourced from Union, but the people employed clueless on making coffee.
Costa, Cafe Nero, Starbucks, serve disgusting coffee, but this was far worse.
The free coffee out of a machine in Waitrose at least dinkable.
The rubbish Italian catering supply coffee served by Jamie’s Coffee at Gatwick far better.
I have been served bad coffee, but this ranks as one of the worst.
Farnham Maltings should invite someone from outside who would do a far better job to run their coffee shop for them.
