This place is always busy, in fact you’d struggle to get a table any day at lunch time. The food is always good and fresh- prepared right in front of you. The jacket potatoes are huge! Our go-to are the paninis and baguettes and they have a wide variety of fresh and delicious fillings. They fill the sarnies to the brim and they can be toasted. Yum! We recommend the cray fish and avocado and the chicken, sweetcorn and bacon options. The sandwiches used to come with a small side salad but they scrapped that. A shame for the price. The coffee is expensive and mediocre in our humble opinions. In fact, the only downside to this place is the price. It’s EXPENSIVE! Two sandwiches, a coffee and a cold drink set up back £25. Which could get us table service at one of the many lovely cafes in Bromley. This is always a good option if you want a tasty lunch but remember to come with full pockets!

So first time I've ever set foot in here and probably the only time. Mid morning 11.20 for coffee and late breakfast. Had some lovely looking sausage rolls so we ordered 2 and two lattes with flavours. The sausage rolls were then microwaved making them soft and greasy. Only 1 latte had the correct flavor what should have been hazelnut was vanilla. Sausage rolls to one side we ordered a garden breakfast and eggs benedict. My wife's garden breakfast was completely cold almost as if it had come out of the fridge and missed the cooker. My eggs benedict was just warm enough. My wife's garden breakfast went back much to the staff's annoyance. Very poor attention to detail and not cheap for breakfast.

Great food but a little tight on the meatballs. For the prices I'd expect more.

The quality of food used be good and staff friendly! Not now.....I waited 20 minutes for eggs royale. My food arrived with greasy finger marks around the plate and a hair on my plate. On returning my plate to the counter, staff were rude and redirecting me with my plate to another member of staff. Clearly was same plate when my food returned as plate had greasy finger marks on it so nothing was changed. The poached eggs were under cooked and cold too. Awful for £11.95!

Convenient and nice panini's located within the glades shopping center. It gets busy and the ordering system is a bit chaotic, so make sure you're not in a hurry.

Great place to relax and eat lunch or just snacks etc.

Food was tasty - had poached eggs on toast. Ordering was a little slow and waitress was quite adamant that we had to stand at the counter to wait for our coffees - they don't take them to your table. Bit odd as it was a very quiet Wednesday morning and our table was only a metre or two away.

My chillI-con-carne jacket potato was delicious and satisfyingly substantial.
Disappointing lunch today. They have new staff who don't understand English and do not continue the excellent service that used to be at Cafe Giardino. The sandwiches took ages to arrive and they were then given to the table next to us by mistake so had to ask for them and say they were ours! My tea had gone cold and stewed by then. The staff at the till both seemed new and very inexperienced . There was no queue at the time so why our sandwiches didnt reach our table for 10 minutes we do not know. They didn't ask for our drinks order( as usually happens whilst in the queue) and misunderstood everything we said. Very disappointing. The sandwiches were nice but no garnish at all now at the side. No toilet roll in the ladies loos.

My first visit to Giardino and I'm impressed, food was great, looking forward to going back.Kid-friendliness: Seating options are varied, but bench seats for the little ones are very welcome.

Centrally located with a nice Atmosphere.Visited with a friend for a coffee later in the afternoon. The cafe was clean, and service was prompt. Staff were helpful and welcoming. Prices for coffee were as expected ( I did not purchase any food)This cafe is centrally located in The Glades shopping centre. There was plenty of seating. This venue has a lovely view, with nice window and balcony seating looking over the park.Wheelchair accessibility: Accessable for persons with mobility needs as inside a modern shopping centre.

Hi, to be honest I worked on that specific shop as chef ,and obviously I was stolen from the mangmant, that not all for the food for example, vegetarian or vegan they think eating something for them¿ the same fryer used for the pork sausage, it's used for the vegetarian one, for the chips as portion , & for fish and chips ex so if you are vegetarian, vegan ,Jewish or Muslim, and you ask for garden breakfast or chips ( French fries ) technically you eat the pork ,as the same grill used for the bacon, it's used for mushrooms and tomatoes obviously I say that's truth ‽ on reviews, cause I didn't get pay for my hours Monday the 4th december ,half day basically from 7h30 13h30, and this is the first stage the vegetarian & vegan association ,going to be next ,just for precision I'm not Italian or Portuguese (with all the respect for all the humanity and animals nature ex..) I do not speak or understand english, or i don't know my right also the roles ? miss Jan, some innocent photos from a busy gallery ??????☝️???? ( 6 house 11£ per hour=66£ ?) it's not worth it at all??️,good luck?Vegetarian options: The Same fryer used for french fries, pork sausage, vegetarian sausage and bacon sometimesDietary restrictions: I can't say more but I don't recommend anybody to go there I don't advice anyone about that's specific shop .

Small portions for breakfast. MyPartner and I aren’t big eaters, however, for £10 we were expecting more from a “full English”. A single sausage and a single rasher of bacon?
