Grouchos

The people at my work started nick naming the people who worked here as «grouchy». Clever play on names indeed. But it all speaks the truth. I’ve never warmed to anyone from here. I’m often sort of snapped at with «our kitchen closed at 2» or something of that nature. Besides that I have to mention the incredible pies. Gourmet would be an understatement! They are fantastic and are often picked off the shelves quickly early in the day.
I’ve also had the gluten free muesli from here but have to say I was disappointed with it overall as it was hugely expensive and came out looking a little sad. It tasted OK though I guess.
My judgements may be completely wrong though because there are always people buzzing around here. It could be for the organic, gluten free food or it could be for the pies. I doubt it’s for the service.

Grouchos is one of those places that is a real mixed bag: once I went there and the service was friendly and efficient; another time I went there and got the distinct impression that they hated customers. I’ve had a great sandwich there one time and another time an indifferent salad. I suppose the uncertainty of what sort of experience you’re going to have keeps me coming back.
They say they use lots of organic and free range ingredients here, which is good, and they don’t seem to charge more than other similar cafes that don’t do this. They also have a big range of gluten-​free options which seem to attract lots of diners.
