What User doesn't like about Horatio Mugs:
I ordered hot chocolate on a very cold day and thought I would decide what to have to eat while I drank it. As soon as it was brought to me I was asked to pay and I absolutely hate that. I therefore did not...stay for anything to eat. We holiday in Spain a lot and you are never expected to pay upfront and they are far busier over there with holidaymakers than Holt is. View all feedback. What User likes about Horatio Mugs:
What a find! Great coffee shop (actually much more than a coffee shop) with lovely home baked food in tasteful surroundings with friendly hospitable service. Absolutely nothing to find fault with: Horatio’s is my new ‘place to go’ when in or near Holt View all feedback.

Just had coffee, apple pie and custard danish, but they were so tasty and fresh! Excellent service. Will be my go-to spot in Holt for sure

Horatio's has seen a decline in service and quality since new ownership took over, as noted by longtime patrons. Slow service and disorganization were recurring themes in customer experiences. On the contrary, the establishment received glowing reviews for delicious food and excellent service from other visitors. The breakfast was particularly praised for being of top quality, with generous portions and good coffee. Despite some mixed reviews, Horatio's remains a popular spot for visitors and locals alike, with some recommending it wholeheartedly. The general consensus points to a hit-or-miss experience, suggesting that Horatio's potential could be enhanced by consistent service and improved organization.
