Tupelo Honey – Camden Town
Tupelo Honey looks ok when you enter but it did not take long to be disappointed with this place. All the food on the counter is open and looked stale. The main dishes in the counter fridge were already prepared and cooked, and would only be warmed up if ordered. Right next to the window seats was a shelf filled with dirty plates and cups. If that wasn’t enough to put us off, then the open bin next to it definitely did.rn
There is quite a small seating area downstairs; the wooden tables and chairs were wobbly. Tupelo Honey has outdoor seating but it is very narrow and cramped. The whole time we were having our drinks here, we didn’t feel at all relaxed. We were actually quite relieved when we left.
Tupelo Honey is open till late into the evening. Even though we went there during the afternoon, the upstairs seating was closed. They have two additional floors; one of which is a roof garden.
As for the drinks, the mocha and latte coffee was nice. They serve Illy coffee and they also do soy milk. Some of the staff were friendly. It is a shame that Tupelo Honey hasn’t made that extra effort with the state of its establishment, from the standard cleanliness to the seating and quality/display of food.

Sunday 3rd January 2010.
Food was nice, staff were pleasant but the manageress who is possibly owner was horrific.
I’ve never been made to feel so uncomfortable in all my life, I can’t even believe what I heard, the mangeress if you can call her that was unbelievably rude to her staff and to us the costumers.
On leaving the place the manageress attempted to discipline her staff in a manner that would be more suited for a police interview in a murder case, and when asked if she would mind doing this off the shop floor the aggression was moved towards us. All we wanted to do was to pay and leave.
I feel bad for the waitress and the other staff to have to work with the wicked witch of Camden, just a shame as we had just discussed how much we liked the place.
For the grief we got I would recommend some place else.

That’s true:) the owner of this place is terrible! I worked there for 2 mounths during the summer and she terrorise all her staff, she acted like she bought us for 40 pound per day, sometimes she shouted at us during we prepared the meals and she even shouted at customers, food is ok, but not special, the restaurant is nice specially the garden upstears:) sorry for misteakes:)
