BY NAELA AND LENE

Have you noticed there is a new, swanky café on Half Moon Lane? It goes by the name of west 16. Even though it opened only recently, many people have visited. West 16 has lots of fans but it also has many rivals including Gusto and Christopher’s, two delicious cafes a mere 20 metres apart.

Many people are loyal to Gusto, it offers delicious treats, paninis and luxurious hot drinks, however others rate Christopher’s for its hot bread straight from the oven, crispy croissants and pantry goods.

So we decided to get some ratings and reviews from children, parents and teachers at JKPS to see what they thought about the new café on the block. 

“The brownie has the taste of a cheesecake, creamy on the top and soft on the bottom.” – Carlotta, Year 5.
RATING: 3/5

“We don’t really need another café, we already have Gusto and Christopher’s. That’s enough for me.” – Mr. Ric
RATING: 0/5

“It is a very nice space and the food is good.” – Tristan, Year 5.

“It looks modern, although they could have put a stationary shop there instead.” – Charlie, Year 6.
RATING: 4/5

“I like the side bit. I’m also disappointed that the café has been built. I enjoyed watching it turn into something.” – Irvin, Year 1.
RATING: 5/5

“The service was very slow, and I asked for cold water and they gave me boiling water.” – Annabel, Year 2.
RATING: 2/5

“They only had coffee and cookies on the opening day and the cookies were dry.” – Leo, Year 5.
RATING: 3/5

“We are doing our staff Christmas party there, they’ve offered us a great deal, and it’s a mere stones throw away from school, ideal! They also do very strong coffees which serve a punch in the morning!” – Miss Katie
