Okende - Rushcliffe

Went here for one of their weekend evenings where they do pasta and pizza. We started with focaccia followed by pizza and gnocchi and then cheese. All were delicious and plentiful. We completed with a bottle of their Polish red wine which was light, easy drinking and went well with the food. Service was excellent, attentive without being intrusive and friendly. All this in the usual O’kende relaxed style.

Great coffee from the new Carrington st outlet! It’s the perfect spot for me to grab a quick coffee on the commute to work. The coffee is far nicer than the chain cafes and at reasonable prices. The staff are friendly and the service is very quick ideal on the morning commute. It’s a shame there isn’t much seating but it doesn’t matter if you’re taking away. I’ve not tried the pastries but they look delicious, which I’ll pick one up eventually. Overall, I can’t fault it. GO and support GOOD, independent coffee!

We came on a Saturday morning for brunch. Absolutely appalling customer service. The female member of staff who served us was rude and had an attitude problem. I am not surprised to see other reviews here about the hostile reception others have received. While some might like the ‘hipster’ vibe, I’m sure this place won’t last long if they continue in this manner..

Lovely unusual Swedish-style coffee shop; rare in Nottingham, only a few others that I know of and I'd say this is my favourite. Pastries and cakes are a nice mix of usual coffee shop favourites, plus more unique or Scandinavian style bakes. Keep up the Basque cheesecake as hardly any other places offer this! Lovely coffee too :D will come again.

I try very hard to support local independent cafes, I have tried it a few times but at some point you have to say after a few bad experiences it nor the place for me. If you are going to charge more for coffee in cup’s about 1/3 smaller than rivals at least make it decent coffee but the worst but is the coolness/rudeness of some of the staff. It’s the how date they sit in my showroom cafe, no real surprise last couple morning since it’s been empty. Maybe if they cared more about customer service than projecting a hipster image they would be busier!
