The staff are really nice, the food is priced really reasonably, and it’s a good selection.

I liked it in here I have been twice now.Staff are friendly, there is a lady with short blonde hair (sorry don't know her name) who is very attentive and provides great service.The food is nice, iv only had sweet things like scones and pancakes, so not tried anything savory.It's really busy, the only thing is if you have a pram it's tight. I believe it's the same as Bistro Six across the way as the staff were wearing t-shirts which said both names so that it much better suited for prams as has a bigger outer space.Kid-friendliness: For the pancakes there wasn't a kids portion which is a waste as 3 stacked is too much. But they offer you to take it home in a box.

Food was nice and came out decently quick however having to wait for 15 minutes just for our table to be cleared and to order a desert is a bit outrageous. Staff were standing chatting at the bar and ignored us while we were trying to indicate that we needed something else. Ordered desert along with another drink and the drink never came. Staff need to be a bit more focussed on tables rather than their plans for the weekend, disappointing.

Was in here on Saturday with my Granddaughter and we were both so disappointed with the service you need to train your staff to be a little bit courteous at the very least, we waited and waited on a sandwich which other tables were getting served burgers and chips who came in after us. The place is overrun with staff but they all just seem to be walking about aimlessly.To end our experience in this cafe I asked for the bill and the young waitress rolled her eyes at me ? sort your staff out Cova we won't be back.?

finished food and had to wait over 15 minutes for the table to be cleared and to ask for the bill, all the staff were standing and chatting, the staff continued to look at our table and ignore that we needed further

Lovely breakfast but a little expensive for bacon £1.50 per slice. You can't have 3 pancakes with one bit of bacon!

Visited on Tuesday 7th August 2018 for some lunch.We were seated quickly but nobody came to take our order after we got our drinks. We eventually flagged someone over and ordered two courses from the set menu.The tomato soup was great - thoroughly enjoyed it.We waited a further 20-25 minutes and then checked to see if our main course had been forgotten. The waitress confirmed that it has and we had to just ask for the bill to leave as we had an appointment elsewhere.

Lunchtime is always busy and you may have to wait. Space is tight if you've got a buggy.Great selection of hot food and hot and cold drinks.The staff are very friendly and helpful.Being very busy and this was a weekday, service can be a bit slow. However, there is a nice buzz in Cova so time goes fast.Really enjoy the food and the service is great.Highly recommend.
I was just served by the nicest waitress, Julia. Thanks for the fantastic service and see you soon :)

Staff are friendly, coffee good, prices reasonable. Easily seen why this is a very popular cafe/restaurant. The scones here are great but jam could be improved.

Me and the wife traveled through from the east of Scotland and thought we would give the Cova a try for breakfast ? first expressions look’s the part staff first class ? after being seated we had a look ? at the menu’ I went for the full Scottish breakfast ? the good lady went for a roll on sausage ?on a personal level the big disappointment was if you’re advertising full Scottish breakfast I would expect a wee bit of haggis on my plate ?♂️ plus the square sausage ? it was the cheaper thin beef square sausage that was the only disappointment for the price ? maybe if the Cova got something going with a local butcher ie proper thick steak square sausage and a good quality haggis we would give them a 10 out of 10 review ‘ on my plate 1 slice of bacon’ 1 black pudding’ 1 tattie scone ‘ 1 slice of fried bread ‘ choice of fried or poached egg 5 small mushrooms beans on plate and a hash brown + a chose of brown or white toast + a hot or cold drink £8.50 for full Scottish my point or review is add some decent steak square sausage and a wee bit of haggis ? or can someone explain the difference between a full Scottish and a full English ? in our opinion we would give the Cova a 8/10 not far away from being decent apart from the smaller details ????

Service can't be bettered, was served a coffee this morning even before the cafe was properly open, superb!
Vegetarian options: Had decent vegetarian option.
