JAR BAKERY

Jar Bakery is the kind of place that leaves you saying, 'Well, that was mildly sad.' With a pristine 5/5 hygiene score, you’d expect more than just lukewarm pasties and overwhelmed staff. Amaryllis found the service charming, with Izzy making tea and Chelsea buns, but a glance at the menu reveals a kitchen that seems to be on a permanent coffee break. The café's temperature, as noted by several diners, could rival an oven—definitely not ideal for enjoying a warm pastry.

Sadly, the unfortunate feedback about the food quality is hard to ignore. Rachael and Daniel's experiences were reminiscent of a bad school cafeteria, and the complaints about the staff lacking coordination and food being served at unsafe temperatures raised some eyebrows. If you're just after a cup of tea and a friendly chat, swing by—just don't expect anything too exciting on the plate.
