40 West Cafe And - Ipswich

You think after this business turnover of owners everyworker in this joint would want try their best to improve Forty Wests reputation.I thought, things may have changed and would try give this little Cafe 1 another chance but past experiences over 5 years have not been that great, both food and service.The Chef on this morning was an extremely rude lady. I came in to order a coffee and go toilet while I time. I do understand that the toilets are for Forty Wests clients only but the way she treated me and even the way she speaks to other staff is rude and she should definetely not be a good rep for this business. Her attitude makes everyone feel uncomfortable, even her colleagues.Ive helped hundreds of clients build their homes in this estate from the begining since 2014 it was owned by Amex, then Okeland. Ive referred so many clients to Forty West Cafe over the years to help sustain the ever failing business. I would have addressed this with her at the time I was in there but I didnt want to embarrass the Chef as other Patrons and Staff were present.Good Luck, Im also a qaulified Chef aswell. Its not hard to find someone that could do what she does and actually cares about clients and food. Btw if your kitchen is an open kitchen, makesure your chef is clean and keeps everything to Food Standards as Workplace Health And Safety is stricter than ever, they would have shut the kitchen down real quick this morning if they saw the state she had it in.

10/10 would go there again. Had such an amazing experience, staff were so nice, the atmosphere was amazing and the food even better.

Choice of bench seating or chairs. Dogs welcome outside, with water provided in a bowl. Both meals were Eggs Benedict with ham, but we we're told that we couldn't add mushrooms. You can have, ham, bacon or mushroom. There was just no way they could add mushrooms.The service from staff was uninspiring. When asked for a menu, staff member replied with a crooked smile and walked off, leaving us to search for to find a menu ourselves. Good car parking, location and surrounds.

Beaut relaxing cafe. Love the new winter menu! Great chill vibe. Food hits the spot, coffee is a great warmer. Regular visitor. Highly recommend, try the Beef and Beer! Not Sure what Gavin Bushnell is on about.... seems like the high maintenance type....

Unfortunately parts of our meals were cold. We did speak with the chef that offered to heat up our meals. Meals are more expensive than other places so it should be hot at least when you get you meal. Disappointed in response to the owners comment you offered to heat up our meals. Then when I said Don't worry about it I'd just deal with it, I just wanted you aware so no one got a cold big breakfast. You offered free coffee. We had both had coffee sitting on our table. I did say maybe coffee for next time we came. But nothing happened. The chef walked off. I did ask if parts of the breakfast was in a food warmer which would explain why it was cold. But the chef assured me it's all cooked fresh on the grill. So no excuse for cold food really. I didn't ask to see the chef I spoke to a young wait staff lad only to make sure others didn't get cold meals.
