I will never write a review on a single visit, and all the cafes I've reviewed here I have visited at least half a dozen times before I write up any opinion. However, it isn't like any customer has the luxury of knowing in advance of visiting when they will be on top of their game. Cafe reviews, restaurant reviews or any other review that involves something prepared to order will obviously be open to the "we were having a bad day, usually we are brilliant" criticism. I can't think of a fairer way to review a place than to visit a load of times, and then write up one with reference to others if you have an experience vastly different from usual. Interestingly all four cafes have been extremely consistent throughout every visit. Well – I should probably post up my review techniques.
