Little Pickle - Northampton

The staff at this restaurant is very friendly and the coffee is excellent. However, the prices are a bit higher than what I'm used to, so I probably wouldn't come here too frequently.

We had our first visit to Tic Toc today to have a birthday breakfast , easy place to find can't comment on parking as we walked but there is a local car park . Good choice of options for all tastes if you ask me , nice decor , good service and polite staff . Bit more pricey that than i would expect but it was a treat . What we ordered arrived present correct all nice and freshly cooked and served up. All in all very good

Every time I go to Tick Tock Coffee Wine Bar something is always missing from my order and the Customer Service etiquette is very poor. In my opinion the employees do not care and their main priority is to finish the day and go home. I ordered gin tonics and it is the second time the Tick Tock Coffee Wine Bar does not have ice. Certain ingredients for the sandwiches were out of stock. It’s the second time the employees mop the cafe while their clients are drinking and eating at the tables. The cleaning product used has a very strong smell. The cafe closes at 4:00pm and the employee began mopping at 3:45pm. Mopping and cleaning should be done once all clients are gone and the store is closed. In addition, a wet floor is a huge liability issue but of course the employees are not thinking. I am not going to pay full price for items that do not have all the ingredients and have to deal with the smell of cleaning products and a mop swiping around my table and legs. Tick Tok Coffee Wine Bar has lost a client plus my friends.

This is a hard review because I love the food at the cafe so much, but the service at the weekends is terrible. You’re never greeted with a smile. The last two times we’ve visited we have not left happy. The first time a couple of months ago we waited an hour for two breakfasts, which didn’t even come out together so one person had finished before the others person had arrived . Both breakfasts were fry ups! One came without toast as well. The second time we got our food within 45 minutes but no drinks so we left without ever having had a tea or coffee. Even though we chased the drinks up twice. They also still added them to the bill! Obviously we didn’t pay for them.

I have been a regular at Little Pickle/Tick Tock for years, as my friend lives nearby. I have been twice since the new ownership and I am disappointed with the changes. I used to go specifically for the Coronation Chicken, which was always delicious and filling. Unfortunately, it has been removed from the menu and I have not been able to find a decent version of it elsewhere. The menu now mainly consists of sandwiches, which are nice and fresh but not as exciting as the previous options. During my recent visit, my friend tried to order an egg sandwich but was told that they did not have boiled eggs ready. I feel that the restaurant is not as well organized as before. Despite my disappointment, I will still return as it is a nice little place, but I am saddened that I can no longer enjoy my favorite dish.
