La Vita Barrachnie

We only went in for cake and coffee.We knew the cakes were expensive but the charge was astronomical.It is a beautiful place. Both cakes to carry out were £4.95 each but to sit in £8.95.The addition to the apple pie was a small portion of ice cream however no addition to the pavlova as we were told it was gluten free. I queried this ridiculous mark up and I was told it was for the addition of ice cream but nothing on the other.The person phoned her boss and he told her the carry out price for the pavlova should be £5.25.Absolutely no decent explanation given. Don't get me wrong the cakes were lovely.Lattes had to be changed as not hot and too much foam.We were sitting in the bar area. The bill was just under £30 for 2 lattes,a tea and 2 cakes.This is far too expensive and a total rip off.The service and ambience was lovely. The week before we purchased vouchers for £140 for a present after having a lovely coffee however if it had been today we would have to think twice if we we would purchase these again.I know the price of everything has increased but this is unfair to the consumer.

Lovely place to dine and they cater to gluten free dinners
