2nd Cup Cafe!! COCKROACH!


  • Name: Second Cup Cafe
  • Location: Khalidiyah, Abu Dhabi
  • Tel:  02 679 6995
  • Cuisine: Cafe
  • Price: Dhs 50-200
  • Website : http://www.secondcup.com
I used to go here nearly every single day, since it is at the same building of my work. Whenever I have a break or free time, I go down, grab a dessert, snack or a drink and enjoy it, while watching people :p

For the 1st few months it was very good and the food was perfectly good too… UNTILL…………….. "DRUMS":
1. My cousin came and ordered a salad, we found a "FLY" on it...
2. I saw a "COCKROACH" passing by my leg and I jumped screaming like crazy, scaring everyone around me...
3. I ordered my favourite chocolate donut and when I cut it open, it smelled like a dead fish. I was gonna vomit..it was spoiled..

So at that time I added it to my X LIST, but here are some pics of what I had before adding it to my X list :p

They have 3 types of calzones, Cheese, spinach and chicken.. All of them are very good @ AED 20 each.. along with a small strawberry Chiller (it is more like a smoothie) for AED 17


 Chocolate Puff @ AED 18 along with a small Mint and Lemon Chiller (smoothie) for AED 17

 Spinach Quiche for AED 12,. It was too EGGY "I mean the smell" :p

 Cheese and Mushroom Quiche for AED 12 too, I had to add LOTS and LOTS of black pepper to be able to cover the EGGY taste and smell..

And here are few pics of some desserts I had..
Caramel Cake
Chocolate Moose, very good
Almond Muffin, Too Eggy
 Chocolate Donut..
Creme Brulee..

I don't know if they improved or not, but for me, it is a BIG NO..

    Food looks really good but its so sad that you had to experience all that :/
    I remember one time when me and my parents where on a vacation to Mallorca.. we were going to order pizza and when I got mine it was FILLED with black long hair... my dad complained and I got a new one.. SAME THING.. it was filled with black hair... I got a third one everything was okay with that
    When we were about to leave I walked past the kitchen and ALL of the chefs had long black hair but no hair nets or anything like that :/
    You have a very lovely blog... Im a new follower.. for sure :)
    Hugs

    If I were you, I would have asked for a refund. The food could make you sick.
