“ Delicious food and the most friendly staff I’ve ever encountered from my 14 years of experience with food. They welcomed us like no other with smiley faces filling the atmosphere of the place. We requested a lot but their smiles never left serving us with great kindness. The food was so nice and aesthetic. Just recommending 1 thing... to add cheese and tuna on the menu with jacket potato. Thank you. ”
“ We visited the apple tree during the artisan market and while we had to wait a little bit to get a seat, it was worth it. My partner had the croquet Madame and soup which she really enjoyed and I had the New York deli sandwich. I thought both were reasonably priced, especially given that it seemed the ingredients were good quality. I think it was around 7 for the sandwich which included a little side salad and vegetable crisps. After the savouries we had to cakes and hot chocolate to finish. Again everything was tasty and well made. We had the hummingbird cake and Nelson square, nice to see a range of traditional British and more tropically inspired cakes! The hot chocolate was very nice to and seemed to be from real chocolate rather than powder. The environment was also very pleasant. A nice place to get out of the rain! ”
“ This is a first-rate coffee lounge. We had coffee there on the 20th of March and then returned for lunch the same day. The decor inside is unusual and really interesting. The food was excellent, and the service was quick . The staff are extremely pleasant and polite. We will certainly return as soon as we can. ”
“ Lovely place, made to feel welcome from entering to door, we were a large party so had to wait for a table, the lady serving us kept us updated and was soooo very helpful. Food and drinks were amazing. Will definitely return ”
“ We visited The Apple Tree Coffee Lounge on March 24th and were warmly greeted by cheerful, smiling staff as soon as we walked in , such a lovely first impression! We ordered two slices of Jammy Dodger cake, a fruit scone, and two flat whites, then headed outside to relax in their lovely outdoor dining area. Our order arrived in about 10 minutes, which gave us just enough time to soak in the peaceful vibe. The cake was absolutely beautiful, soft, moist, and full of flavor. The flat whites were strong and smooth, just the way we like them. Everything hit the spot perfectly. Would we go back? Absolutely. This place is a gem. 10/10 – Highly recommend! MD Reviews ”
“ So good, we visited twice in a weekend! Whilst on a short staycation nearby, we stumbled upon this lovely cafe and soon saw why it is rated by The Guardian as one of the top 10 coffee shops. There is a range of both indoor and outdoor seating to catch a view of the serene marina whilst enjoying a selection of tasty breakfast, brunch and lunch options. The staff provide such a warm, friendly approach and the food was fabulous. I could not recommend this cafe enough, it is a hidden gem. There was also a lovely little farm shop next door (swipe to see the biggest onion I’ve ever laid eyes on) What we had Vegetarian breakfast Mozzarella & sundried tomato toasted panini Cheddar cheese & red onion toasted panini Tuna melt toasted panini Victoria sponge cake Chocolate brownie More reviews and recommendations on my Instagram @niceatsuk ”
“ Never been to the Marina before so decided to give it a try on a rainy Saturday with the wife. Popped in for some food as the menu looked good. Had the coronation chicken jacket potato and it was delicious, huge chunks of chicken and very creamy. Waitress was very friendly. 10 for a jacket potato was a bit pricy but as a treat it was okay. ”
“ We hired the Apple Tree for a private party and it was amazing. The food was delicious and everyone commented on how great it was, the staff couldn’t do enough for you and we felt so looked after. The best venue. Highly recommend Thanks Esther, Andy, Nicky and the team xxx ”
