Customer's reviews

Fantastic cafe on Evington Road. The decor is fresh, the cafe is clean and crisp and the staff are welcoming. We ordered a cappuccino and a cold tiramisu latte and both were excellent. We also tried the focaccia with mushroom and truffle, this was delicious. I normally would try the meat option but was happy trying something different. The bread was spongy, the mushrooms were glossy and cooked to perfection and the flavours were amazing - just the right amount of truffle. The staff were passionate and explained that everything is cooked from scratch on the premises including the focaccia! They said they source the best ingredients and this was evident. The tablets for menus, the smart venue and fantastic food, drinks and service makes me want to return. Highly recommend this cafe. ~ F A
We had such a lovely experience at Tove, and a big part of that was thanks to Sophia. Dining out with a baby can sometimes feel a bit stressful, but she made it feel completely effortless. She was attentive without hovering, and seemed to notice the little things before we even had to ask — whether that was bringing things quickly so we could stay on schedule, or just checking in at the right moments. What really stood out was how comfortable she made us feel having a baby with us. There was no sense of inconvenience at all — quite the opposite, actually. She went out of her way to be accommodating, and it genuinely made the whole meal more relaxed and enjoyable. It’s rare to come across service that feels so natural and thoughtful. Sophia struck that balance perfectly, and it made a lasting impression on us. We’ll definitely be back. ~ Haleemah A
I’ve been here about 8 times since it opened and it has been consistently excellent across the board. The Hot Honey & Cheese sandwich is up there with one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had; the ingredients are always fresh and generous with the portion sizes. The desserts from French Toasts to the Cheesecakes are delicious. Yet to try the new “viral” puddings. The service has been friendly and helpful during all visits. The only slight feedback I would give is the first few times we came the tea was really flavourful and tasted of spices - since then, the last 5-6 times its a pretty basic. The tea is always fresh and piping hot and served in a mug which is why we still order but unsure why they’ve decided to reduce the flavour. ~ ap7 a
