I visited the new revamped Ore Café in Bluewater yesterday and really enjoyed my Cappuccino made by Matt. Highly professional and gave exceptional Customer service and great hospitality too. Previously I had the same experience from Felis and the team of staff are great. So thank you all...

A great place in John Lewis at Bluewater to sit down and enjoy a sandwich (hot or cold), soup, salad and coffee during busy times. Great selection of pastries available as well. Coffee is good as well. Prices may be on the higher side but you get a seat compared to pret or any other cafe at busy times.

Ori Café in John Lewis Bluewater is one of those spots that makes you glad you didn’t just rush through shopping. It’s comfortable, modern, and has that calm atmosphere you want when you’re taking a pause from browsing sofas or clothes. The staff are excellent, attentive without being over the top, the sort of service that makes everything run smoothly without you having to ask twice. Even small details are thought of, like the self-service drinking water tap, which feels refreshingly practical. We ordered two coffees to start, both well-made and smooth, the kind you can linger over. For food, one of us went for a toasted bagel filled with creamy Camembert and mushrooms, indulgent but perfectly balanced, while the other enjoyed a focaccia generously filled with Swiss cheese and smoked ham. Both plates were delicious and felt freshly prepared, not just thrown together. And of course, it would have been rude not to finish with cake. Two slices later, we can confirm the desserts are every bit as good as the savoury offerings. Ori Café is a real gem within John Lewis: quality food, comfortable seating, thoughtful service. A little haven for weary shoppers.

I have returned to this little find as the customer service here is absolutely top notch! A little, stylish cafe tucked away in John Lewis, away from the busy thoroughfare of the main centre where you can get an array of bites to eat, cake and pastries, coffee tea or even and alcoholic beverage. It’s fab! Steph the manager is wonderful and all staff are polite and happy. Lovely place.

I love visiting, whether it’s with my children for Sunday breakfast or on my own with a book and a coffee. The food and drinks are always consistently excellent, and I like that they bring your drink over when it’s ready.
