This has to be the worst place for food that I have ever been to. Ordered a pasty to eat in, it came warm, with no garnish, it looked a very sorry state on its undersized plate and its taste equally underwhelming in fact down right disgusting. I also ordered a latte which I think missed the crucial element of coffee, this had to be returned. The service was as equally as bad, with very low levels of customer interaction and a total absence of social skills. Who ever runs this establishment needs to make some serious improvements!!!!

Callad in here Sat dinner time,staff realy unhelpful asked for a menu reply we dont have one. I ordered drinks + a pastie 2 meat potato pies which were tasteless insipid and cold, there is more atmosphere on the moon dont bother unless you want to come out disgusted.

Greeted with a very unhappy person who served other people before us in the queue.We ordered the soup which was aired when we got it and a scone which wasn't bad but the butter when spread on it just made the scone

I have got mix feelings abut this place.1. Service - sometimes staff is very friendly, sometimes not even trying to be, looking a bit angry when I want to pay by card.2. I like bread and vegan sausage rolls. I love supporting local businesses so always trying to buy something here instead of Greggs. And because they are here ages - I trust them more in case of ingredients and quality.3. Coffee is OK. Different but I still enjoyed it.4. I would change, repaint tables/chair. Make it more fancy as the elevation outside looks great, tables looks cheap. But nice pictures connect with Buxton.Good to try.

Got a loaf of sourdough from Fitzgerald and it was very disappointing, one of the worst sourdough loaves I've ever had. I am fairly sure it was baked yesterday at the earliest. Smelled very nice, but when we got it home it was as hard as a rock, felt like it was stale. Bread itself was very dry and the crust was almost impossible to bite through. Had to toast it to make it edible.At £3.50 for a loaf of bread I would expect something really nice but was sorely disappointed. The only thing I would recommend is avoiding the spot. Pains me to say it but you'd be better of nipping through the precinct to Waitrose, you'd get a nicer loaf there.I will certainly never shop here again.

Staff looked miserable, veggie options extremely limited. I had a Vegetable bake and a cheese bap/roll. I wasn't offered the chance to heat the bake. The cheese roll was supposed to be grated cheese, upon opening, it was just a slab, chucked on the roll which was very hard to eat. The veggie bake, had no taste to it and the texture was very dry, like it had been in the window the previous day too. I know I didn't order a gourmet meal or eat in, but I expect nice, edible food that I don't have to throw in the bin on the way back to my train?. In all honesty, I chose Fitzgerald's because, from the outside, it looks like a really nice place, in reality, I wish I had stood and waited 15 mins in the queue for Greggs.Vegetarian options: Next to nothing, two items that I saw and brought, both of which ended up in the bin!

If you want to be scowled at by rash and unforgiving women then this is the cafe for you. We were belittled for standing in the "wrong" place to order drinks inside even though there were no signs to distinguish between eating in and takeaway. Perhaps it's time to hire some friendlier staff? It is a busy season after all. As we sat here and regretted our venture indoors we watched the cantankerous staff belittle and ignore customers, we watched two customers leave due to awful service, being ignored and spoken too like excrement. When our drinks finally arrived they were slammed down on our table on a dirty tray and we were not told which drink was which, let alone have the tray removed. Is this the worst cafe in the UK? It could be close.

The cafe is nice, clean & lovely staff unfortunately I didn't like my veg bake as it's cold and not appetising for me, bland but I can see the veg seems decent. None the less, it's not for
The vegan sausage rolls are very good, but other than the mince pies they have very little that is plant-based. Far more vegan options needed (sweet and savoury).

What a nice place. Good coffee & cake, just a coffee break, very happy friendly

Really poor coffee. Tasteless and bitter.

I don't recognise this cafe from previous reviews ! Yes, the female servers are to the point but efficient as there always seemed to be a queue. I can reply to one poor reviewer that "takeaway" does not mean sitting outside at their chairs and tables. Anyhow, we had lovely freshly-baked baps on two days with generously filled bacon and sausage, and very reasonably priced too. Their custard slices are lovely.
