    Beautiful little independent coffee shop near Grand theatre & public transport…read more I had coffee & samosas with a mint dip...yummy! Can't wait to try more of the menu. Great place to meet up with friends or chill on your own. Amazing ArtWork all from local artists so get your self down there and support independent local businesses. So worth it!

    Well this is a very nice place. During my visit things were by no means 100% satisfactory, but what…read morealways makes a difference is attitude and the feeling, as a customer, that the owner and staff actually care. That was the case here, hence the 5***** I had a meeting over the other side of the town centre and once it had finished at 12.30 I fancied lunch before heading back. I checked Yelp and up came Zuri as an option. It was a 10 minute walk and so given it was a bright, sunny day off I set. It's easy to find with Google Maps. It was about 3/4 full but I was served quickly. I ordered Paneer burger, chips, plain lassi and a flat white. The menu is short but very pleasant. The brilliant thing about this place is it's a coffee shop and Indian 'street food' outlet. I find that a great combo. Of course, 'street food' these days is rarely the street food, prepared simply on the street in front of you, that some of us are familiar with from travelling, but no need to be precious about it! My order came to around £10 which is fine by me. Now onto the problems .... so the lassi arrived and instead of plain it was clearly mango. I didn't really mind, but the Mongo one is quite a bit more expensive. Whether I got someone else's order I dunno. Likely just a mistake. Next the coffee. It was too hot and rather bitter. Often the two go together. I've had worse and was about drinkable after about ten minutes of sitting. They can do better with a minor adjustment I think. Then my burger arrived but no chips. They were coming I was told but they never did. After eating the burger, which was really excellent, drinking the superb lassi and sipping the coffee I needed to be on my way. I went to the counter and said to forget the chips. There were profuse apologies, which was fine. Off I went but was chased by a staff member who insisted they give me a refund. I wasn't bothered but went back and the owner (I think) apologised again. This was very nice. As I mentioned, they care! So this place is an essential visit if you're in and around the Wolverhampton centre. It's five minutes from the St George tram stop. I will certainly pop in again next time I visit Wolverhampton. The lassi is magnificent. Probably the best I've ever had. The burger is first class. The coffee so-so but I'm hard to please. They really need to reduce the temperature and not burn the grind. Staff are first class - just really nice, friendly, helpful people: the kind of folks you can build a business on. This place deserves success and judging by the customers in there I think they'll do fine!

    It is quite difficult to find a coffee shop in Dudley that serves espresso coffee (or expresso as…read moreit said on their menu). So, I thought I'd give Café Grande a try. The outside looks fresh and clean, it appears it has had a recent renovation. Took a little finding as the frontage sign is missing, I'm sure that will be rectified as soon as possible. Interior is quite good, comfy sofas, tables at the right heights, it even has an outdoor rear garden so great in warm weather. I did not eat, but I did have a look at the cakes and deserts, they didn't look high quality that I was expecting. I purchased a coffee, americano with milk. Barista brought it to my table, along with a biscuit and sugar. The coffee was not good - the beans did not taste freshly ground, wasn't a good bean either. Temperature may have been too high, and it was over brewed for sure. Also, the milk was offered separate but it was cold, this will add even bitterness. Coffee, it is one thing I expected them to get right. They also do not offer V60, aeropress, chemex etc that I would expect from an independent coffee shop. It has four stars for hygiene. The place looks clean, and toilets were good too.

    don't normally bother to review when the service is bad but this took the biscuit. On arrival we…read moreselected a table, in seconds a waitress gave us food menus. She was politely told we only wanted drinks and did we need to order at the counter? Yes she replied. My Sister went to the counter but we were then given drinks menus. The waitress hovered so the others ordered but I wanted to see what cakes they had (not on the menu). Still she hovered despite me asking her to give us 5 minutes, so I just said I will have a pot of tea with the teabag out of the pot ( I like it weak). The drinks arrived, teabag was in pot, I let it go. Upon paying I asked how much my tea was, £1.20 she replied. I left the money on the table and went to the toilet. When I came back my sister told me the girl had taken £9.20 off the table and not brought any change back. I asked where it was, she replied there wasn't any...ok well if the hot choc was £2.70, latte £2.30 and tea £1.20 that wasn't £9.20. It was she replied. Twice I asked to see the bill. After a while a hastily written bill came showing the tea at £3.90!! No way is tea more that a hot choc with cream ..even Costa tea is half that. I questioned it but was rudely told the price was on the menu. Why did you tell me it was £1.20 then. She shrugged and went off. I asked another waitress, yep tea is £3.90. No apologies for wrong quote, rude attitude and she then rolled her eyes at another customer about my complaint. Not only was the order not as requested, the service shocking but the price was beyond rediculous. Avoid this place. No wonder it was mostly empty!
