Tier Achieved:
Clean. Reliable. Does the job.
The "lights out missionary" of food. Spotless kitchen, decent grub. Won't blow your mind, won't disappoint.
Sparks Cafe is the kind of place that leaves you wondering if you ordered food or just a hefty side of disappointment. Sure, the hygiene is top-notch at a sparkling 5/5, but the Google rating of 4.1 hints that the taste may not live up to the cleanliness. The only standout dish mentioned was the flat white that, according to some, managed to be ordinary at best. Staff seem friendly enough, but that’s not enough to save a menu lacking in imagination. If you want a place that looks clean but doesn't excite your taste buds, then Sparks is for you.
In short, a solid place for a coffee but don’t expect to leave feeling like you’ve dined like royalty. You might just leave wondering why you didn’t go elsewhere instead. Maybe that’s the real spark they should focus on – igniting taste over just hygiene.
