"Great coffee and pleasant service, but the mixed berry muffins had no berries visible in them. I was told they mix them up so the muffins don't go soggy. Disappointing for the price you pay."

"Visited for the first time today. It was quite busy which is always good to see, I like to support local businesses where I can! I had the boss breakfast and my wife had the eggs benny. Both were good and the staff were superb. The only concern is that the chairs were very hard and quite uncomfortable for someone with arthritis. For this reason I almost have a 4 star review but the quality of the food and friendly, helpful demeanour of the staff swayed me towards 5 stars. Fix the seats and I would make it a regular haunt!"

"You would be dong well to beat the service and the quality of the food at Black and White Marshland. Nothing was a problem and the chicken burger I had was one of the best I have ever had, and I have consumed a few over 5 decades, The coffee was also excellent."
