Ghale’s Coffee Lounge

Beautiful food - not small portions either. My steak sandwich was one of the nicest I have ever eaten and my wife’s bacon and Brie baguette was outstanding too. Nice comfy furnishings. Would heartily recommend if you’re after somewhere nice for a treat.

They've removed the veggie enchiladas from the menu 😭 but never fear, there are still some veggie dishes. Ghales is a friendly little cafe, well kept, and the service is excellent. The menu is really good, expect a cut above the usual.

Owner is rude & run things cheaply, so you end up with a product that is not worth what you pay, this place used to be great when run as “Latuskes”, now, not so much. Some of the weekday staff are great & very helpful, but the weekend staff are children, I assume so she can pay them a cheaper wage (on the busiest days, someone make it make sense). The portion sizes on the dhal & chickpea curry are appalling so definitely avoid them. When I highlighted the portion size to the owner, she came out and told me about the rising costs of ingredients. The ingredients She’s talking about are lentils & rice, two of the cheapest ingredients you can buy in bulk. There are about 4 mouthfuls of dhal & 3 mouthfuls of rice in the portion size, will be shown in pics but unsure if it will do it justice. There was no apology, nothing customer service oriented or polite at all. She was outright rude & dismissive. She agreed the portion size was small but blamed it on the cost of ingredients. Bare in mind these dishes in question are £9.75, ingredients for this meal cost roughly 75p per portion when made in bulk, so I think it’s more of a cheapness & rudeness issue, rather than the rising cost of lentils. Had multiple issues with this particular owner over the years, all related to being cheap & charging premium prices. Maybe she’d be better suited to a greasy spoons cafeteria (if she could handle lowering the price). I would say avoid this place at all costs, try other establishments like medicine in codsall, gluttons in Tettenhall, or lime tree coffee in Tettenhall - much better service & much more justification for the prices charged.

Pleasant staff. Lovely food. Lovely atmosphere. Had an omelette with mushrooms, tomatoes, and cheese. This was made perfectly. The chocolate mocha was nice also.

Day off work fancied a brunch, I have to be totally honest, the quality food is not the same anymore, I ordered a full Monty with scrambled egg, the HP sauce was like water, I asked the waitress for another bottle, she replied they are all like that because of the weather, “well that’s simple replace them and keep them in the fridge during the hot weather” when a customer pays £26 for a breakfast for 2 people, he doesn’t want to hear these type of excuses, to be honest I won’t be returning again.
