Sainsburys Café

I find supermarket cafes curious places indeed and am perversely fascinated watching people there. It is an often ugly and sterile place but yet always crowded. I too go there myself and can't quite fathom why. The pricing in the Sainsbury's cafe is good but I can't imagine it is much cheaper than you're bog standard greasy spoon or kebab house and the quality of the food is certainly no better. The menu ranges from an assortment of stuff... and chips. Jamie Oliver has certainly not been anywhere near one of these places. My personal favourite is the cardiac on a plate - the mega all day brunch. This I think is the reason I go as it's the perfect hangover ...  Read the complete review

I have to say that I have only had 2 experiences with Sainsburys cafe. One was very good and one was very bad. On the first occasion my husband and I decided that we would have lasgne and chips after a busy day of shopping. We had to wait around for a long time and on top of that the queues were very confused. When the lasagne finally did come it was completely burnt on the top aside from a few bits which were just fine. I complained of course and asked for another one to which they replied that there were not any more so they only thing that they could suggest is that I peel of the top.I left it and just ate the chips, but I was very annoyed. ...  Read the complete review

In order to accumulate more nectar points I have started shopping at Sainsburys more often, where last weekend I discovered the Sainsburys cafe. Not being sure how long my free 1 hr parking had until expiry and not wanting want to carry shopping to the nearby Costa, I decided to get a latte there. The latte was comparabe to the main players and a large latte or cappucino cost £1.85 and this was the same size as a medium from Costa and thus represents a 50p saving. Furthermore they give you every 6th coffee free. That means every 5 coffees and the 6th one free would represent a saving of £4.85 compared to 6 medium sized costa lattes or ...  Read the complete review

I go into Sainsburys cafe quite a bit because we do most of our shopping there and even though its not the best quality food most of it's tasty and filling. I don't think it's that expensive to eat in there and they quite often have special offers on that gives you 2 meals for a set amount or coupons from the till when you pay for your shopping that you can give in at the cafe for a discount. My fave meal is the lasage because you get loads for your money and the chips are wicked dipped in the sauce. They do breakfasts until about 11am and they're quite good but a bit greasy for in the morning. The big breakfast is good when you've got a hangover ...  Read the complete review

We often have a wander to our local Sainsbury's store and today we decided to live life on the edge and enjoy a bite to eat after we did our shopping. Sainsbury's cafe always looks inviting, it is tucked away in a corner of the store and considering it must trade fairly well it looks clean and it is well furnished. The tables and chairs are fashionable and the chairs are upholstered in `Sainsbury's orange`. The cafe staff are a credit to Sainsbury's, they are helpful, pleasant and they greet you with a smile, which in my book goes a long way. The cafe is self service and you take a tray on your way in, the pile of grey plastic trays were well stacked ...  Read the complete review
