While out shopping, I came across the SpongeBob Cafe and decided to take my son in for a quick treat. The cafe's decor is definitely eye-catching, with plenty of SpongeBob-themed displays that will appeal to any fan of the show. My son enjoyed spotting his favorite characters and taking in the colorful surroundings. The staff were friendly and the service was quick, which was a plus. We only had a desert and the taste was great!

great experience for shrek lovers. food is actually decent and the theme is as comitted to as possible. loved the shrek playlist playing although it switched to non shrek songs after a while. woulve loved the eyeball martini to be an actual martini instead of bubble tea, but i understand the alcohol limitations of being a cafe in primark i guess. all in all great experience the staff was very sweet also.
