OK so I have given this place two shots, thinking that my first disappointing visit was just mere bad luck (everyone has their bad days). I will give you the general gist of both occasions. First time: We walk into the Double Dutch and a friendly waitress took our orders. Then we waited. And waited. And waited. After much time (and luckily my friend and I were both chatter boxes) the waitress finally appeared with out orders. My hamburger was very dry and required a lot of ketchup. We payed and left with heavy stomachs but willing to give it another shot. The second time I came here was with my mum. We were hungry and I had class in an hour and thought that this place would be ideal. Initially the waitress wouldn't let us seat by the window tables because we were only two, it was quite busy, and the tables were for bigger crowds. Fair enough, we didn't really mind, until a moment after we were seated in our new seats (awkwardly close to the next table) a couple walked in and took the window tables. The waitress didn't tell them anything. Putting this aside, we waited a while before someone took our order (it was quite busy) and I don't think he could speak English very well. Now before you get your knickers in a twist, I'm an international student myself and know the difficulties mastering the spoken English language (as opposed to the written) but the guy (who was very sweet) did not really speak at all. Anyway, setting aside this, our food took ages to come and when it did , the chips were coldish but the rest of the food warm- so who knows how long it had been sitting around. Incidentally the table next to us who arrived 10 minutes after us got their food first (which they tried giving to us). My egg and bacon bagel was good (although this could have been cause I was starving) and I had to wolf it down cause I was going to be late for class. Getting the bill was another issue, when the girl FINALLY brought it we payed hastily and left quickly only to later realise they had brought us the wrong bill and a more expensive one. So to sum up I don't think I will be heading here for a while again. Double Dutch is going to have to compete with the multiple cafes dotted around this area and certainly take advantage of its large outdoor and indoor seating area.
