This is one of my favourite cafes in Guildford. I shouldn't let you into my secret but the upstairs is better than the downstairs (please don't tell anybody). The food in all Costa Coffees is just OK and also expensive for what you get (what's in the packet appears grilled on your plate - nothing more nothing less). The coffee is where Costa does it best, especially the decaf which is the best of any of the chains.

I have only seen a couple of productions here and both were forgettable. I don't share the other reviewers love for the place, it is both dated and dreary inside. The cafe and the restaurant are throw backs from the 70s. Having said that I wish it well as Guildford needs a good theatres however I would always choose the Electric Theatre in preference to the Yvonne Arnaud.

The venue has a whole is a great place but some of the space are not ideal. The ground floor cafe does nice cakes but it is neither comfortable or well situated. For example, chairs positioned on a sloping floor is both disconcerting and awkward, the serving area seems hidden away and the coffee selection is a little limited (instant decaf - yeuch!). The rest of the centre is fine although a little cold.

Top Italian Food
Great place, friendly staff and best of all fantastic and authentic Italian cooking. Gets a bit noisy upstairs due to all the hard surfaces. Despite being slightly off the main thorough fare it gets surprisingly busy but that is probably due to the great cuisine.

Classic greay Joe
Good British breakfast in a no frills cafe. If it weren't for the slightly unwelcoming nature and lack of traditional style this would be a 4 star.

Good independent cafe
Nice venue with balcony upstairs at the back. Good food and nice service. Only let down by cramped space and pretty ropey coffee.

Once great
This is a poor example of a chain that has slipped progressively over the years (although the smoking ban may help). There decaf coffee is a testimony to disinterest, should be tried just to see how bad it can get. Have you no pride?

A dingy, poky little cafe in an otherwise good location. Doesn't have the quality of Costa but sadly it still retains the ludicrous pricing.

Good value good atmsophere
Excellent to both eat in and take away. Three downsides 1) limited menu choices that doesn't seem to change, 2) can become uncomfortably loud and 3) queues. Otherwise, great.

You must try the raw juice, healthy and tasty at the same time.

How chains should be
Excellent atmosphere and pretty good food. This is how chains should be run, stylish, clean and reliable (bordering on good) food. Also good for kids.

I do hear some strange rumours about how they pay their waiting staff (under minimum wage made up in tips). If these turn out to be true, everyone should boycott this company.
