Thunders Home Bakery & Deli

The coffee was very nice.
Pancakes were average and I’m guessing were pre-​made & then microwaved. And if they weren’t, well they tasted like it. The pancakes were only served with a choice of maple syrup or bacon. No fruit
What was worrying is I thought the skirting boards in the place were filthy. This was very off putting.

I didn’t think Thunders was as bad as all the other reviewers are saying, however, I was only there for coffee and cake.
The coffee was nice, but I wasn’t crazy about the Black Forest cake. It was fresh and you could tell that it was made there, but there was something not so impressive about it.
Still, a fiver for a big coffee and fresh slice of cake isn’t that bad at all.

Probably the worst breakfast I’ve had so far. Scrambled eggs were extremely dry and overcooked. Not even sure what they did to the toast, how do you mess up toast? Service was pretty poor and not very welcoming. Coffee was OK.

Wow. I rarely write about how terrible my food experience was because well, I generally enjoy all my meals. But this place is something else.
I came with my partner for breakfast on a Saturday morning. I don’t think the staff could have looked more diasappointed that two paying customers had entered. There was nobody else inside at peak breakfast time– should have been an indicator to leave.
Nonetheless, we ordered scrambled eggs on toast, adding sausage and bacon as a side. It’s only happened a few times in my life where I’ve regretted paying for a meal, but as my partner handed the money over all I could feel was regret. Again, at this point we should have just cancelled everything and left.
So I watched my ‘scrambled’ eggs get heated in the microwave and my ‘toast’ dehydrate in the oven. Seriously, how can you get TOAST wrong??? Our sides were forgotten and when we reminded a staff member, I then watched her put bacon and sausage in the microwave before serving if go us. Bacon should never be treated with such disrespect.
Surprisingly, the coffee was not terrible, but I have had better. The breakfast was awful, just awful. Not sure whether this is a café or deli, either way I’m content not knowing because I have no intention of ever going back.
Do yourself a favour and please, save yourself and go anywhere else! I even found myself thinking that I could get a better breakfast from the petrol station across the street.

Coffee is good but that’s it. The service was poor. I gave a very simple order — a breakfast roll — and 10 minutes later I was still waiting. And they got my order wrong — I asked for no egg but the roll was full of it! Is go back but only for coffee.

No continuity here. They can’t decide if they are a bakery or a café. This is apparent as soon as you walk in because you don’t know if you should sit down or order at the counter.
I ordered eggs Benedict and say down. Tables were not cleared and when the guy finally came round he took plates off but didn’t wipe which meant I ate amongst other peoples crumbs, literally.
Same guy gave me my food. Which included two grease covered cutlery pieces, one of which had food on the back. I asked for a new one.
Eggs were ok but swimming in hollandaise sauce. Muffin is advertised as toasted. It wasn’t. Spinach was hanging off the side of the plate.
I also found egg shells in my food.
Clearly they are trying to be upmarket but they don’t deliver. Hire waiting staff and pay attention to presentation, eggs slipping around the plate is not impressive.
Wouldn’t go back again.
