They seem very happy in their jobs and are happy to have a chat with you whilst serving you as well as whilst they continue working stocking up the bar or the afternoon tea items. We've ended up staying longer than we intended to on both visits purely because we felt welcome and I guess this is a good recipe for repeat business as we definitely will be returning when next visiting The Village at Westfields. On both visits we had several drinks and snacks and were very happy to leave an additional tip on top of the included service charge. Well done to the management/owner(s) - your well trained and professional staff are a real credit to you.

The toilet or restroom is clean and stocked. Blakes' only has one, so it can get busy. There is a price difference for dinning in versus take away orders. The price can be as much as £2.00 for certain orders. I imagine that helps free up tables and chairs.

Seem like if you are to eat in, they will give you a number and bring to your table. Also they put out some small pastries for the customer to try. I think they are a little expensive for the key of pastry but what do I know. Overall, a great place to get a joe and light snack while shopping.

The window is full of example cakes that you can order. It is this that both angers and amuses me. They put a Nemo style fish shaped cake in the window when it opened last year. It is still there and has gone through all number of colour changes as the sun and seasons affect the dye in the icing. It looks fairly putrid now. (see photo) I have in fact gone in to tell them that I think the cake should be removed or replaced and they just reassured me that it was for visual purposes only an asked whether I wanted one made. This didn't really reassure me because I was already pretty certain that no one would dare touch the thing, and I didn't want one made as they cost £37! The little cakes and confectionary they have inside are quite nice and have a bit of a Middle Eastern taste (very sweet, often dry or very sticky). They are also reasonably priced. They also do coffee and have wee tables and chairs if you'd like to sit in with a coffee and biscuit. I like the idea of La Brioche, but the cakes on display really are a bit of a joke when they first go out they look great, but they are left in the window for months and months. I'm sure if they pulled their socks up this would be a fine place to order your special occasion cake from. ********* 24th January 2oo8 They have replaced all the old cakes!

I got the blueberry and dark chocolate and the banana bread and peanut and devoured both that night. The takeaway bag the friendly staff put both cakes in is adorable, with a little pink bow tied on it. Both cakes were soft and crumbly, with the dark chocolate flavour (and the few blueberries sprinkled atop) shining through in the first and coat of creamy peanut butter on the second, with a few peanuts crumbled atop, the coup de grace.
