  Nestled in Hunts Cross village opposite a patch of greenery and a few feet from the old-timey train station, you can't knock the Metro Cafe for its location. Inside, it's a likeable place with a delicious selection, ideal for a bite to eat, although the vast menu nailed to the wall will probably make this activity itself take up a good few minutes.
  
  Some of the prices aren't exactly bargain basement but that hardly seems to matter much as you soak up the atmosphere, by which I totally mean spy on the people at the bus stop across the road.

  How much does a cup of tea cost a cafe to make? What cost is customer service? I've just spent an hour waiting to pick up a collection order from Metro. The order was placed over the phone 45 mins before that too. We were told they were busy so rather than the usual 20 mins to pick up we were told we should leave it for 45 mins which we did. You'd think that a customer that orders pretty much every Friday over the phone would at least be taken seriously but apparently not. An hour after arriving to pick the order up and being pretty much ignored. Yes they are busy but they also serve other customers who just turn up and sit in. One guy who was also waiting had also been there over an hour. Another guy ordered at 8:20 and only left 10 mins before I eventually got served. The order wasn't even right and had to be corrected. Apology when I was give the order..... noooo don't be silly that would be way too much trouble - like offering a cup of tea to keep me happy even though they kept me waiting an hour. If you've got that much business that you can't cope, get more staff. Needless to say we won't be going there again, I'd rather go to McDonalds and not waste an hour of my life.
