The Howdah Tea and Coffee Company

★★★★★

“A beacon of hope in a sea of pretentious mediocrity! My daughter has dance every Saturday morning so I wander nearby in Stockbridge and have tried almost every coffee shop on offer. They all think they’re it and some and good but most are average at best. This is the place! Customer service that actually aims to serve rather than leave you questioning your life choices. If you like being charged £4.80 for a flat white with a side of distain then don’t go here but if you still value human decency then go see these guys! Friendly, knowledgable AND KIND!”

“Lovely homey tea and coffee spot! The tea was fantastic and the coffee was expertly made. The kind barista bought everything to us and we paid at the end. The cookies were a nice sugar pick-me-up.”

“Rather rude service from the male barista. Displayed a haughty disdain for us when we asked where the sugar was, as if we were supposed to know we should have asked for it beforehand. Feel like his half-hearted stir was a punishment for this and of course it all sunk to the bottom for an overly sweet finish. Almost stopped giving him my order half way through as he looked like this wasn't part of his job. Hardly any room to manoeuvre - not exactly the welcoming experience you want from a coffee shop.”
