### 1/5 — No aplican los descuentos nunca

*2022-11-21, version 1.61*

No aplican los descuentos que ofrecen , dicen que es un error ocasional, pero nunca funcionan y ni siquiera te lo hacen directamente. Te cobran todo sin el descuento. Para eso que no lo ofrezcan como reclamo, me siento engañado

### 1/5 — The app doesn’t even work…

*2022-11-14, version 1.61*

So glitchy really 
Can’t click on anything

### 1/5 — No deja aplicar descuentos

*2022-11-06, version 1.61*

No sirve para nada cuando vas a meter los puntos te echa de la app

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2022-10-22, version 1.61*

I registered but couldn’t login. I reset my password but still couldn’t login. Rubbish!

### 1/5 — Do not use the app

*2022-09-29, version 1.59*

No free coffee and I was charged for my order twice. Still haven’t received a refund almost a month later so I’ve had to get my bank involved now. The app is very buggy and barely works, needs better testing before release.

### 1/5 — Worst service ever.

*2022-09-03, version 1.57*

One word, appalling!

### 1/5 — Ridiculous, over priced and privacy invasion

*2022-08-26, version 1.57*

No waiter service yet they add service charge of 10%. Why do you need my home address, DOB. Walked out!

### 1/5 — Likely selling your data

*2022-08-13, version 1.55*

You can’t order in store like a normal cafe any more as they direct you to the app to order and pay. They insist on your phone number, address, email address, date of birth and bank details to be kept in the app. All to order a coffee. Absolutely nuts and an invasion of privacy.

### 1/5 — Exploiting customer data

*2022-08-11, version 1.51*

Outrageous to make this the only possible means of placing and paying for an order. No guest checkout and requirement to enter a lot of personal information. Definitely a commercial decision by the company not focused on delivering a good CX.

### 1/5 — Useless and waist of time

*2022-08-09*

They force me to download the app to order and pay through it , after choosing from the menu I tried to pay .. it didn’t accept my card due my country wasn’t listed there .. I went after to the cashier who was extremely rude and impolite for not using the app !!! Simply I canceled the order and left .. will never go back again

### 1/5 — Poor

*2025-12-02, version 1.70*

Needs an update

### 1/5 — not working

*2025-07-18, version 1.70*

app doesn’t work, please fix this - would love to have an EL&N app that actually works allows me to preorder , and would definitely be more of a repeat customer

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2025-02-12, version 1.70*

Went to the store in Oxford Circus only to be told they won’t accept the app at all. Whats the point in having it? A total con.

### 1/5 — Wasn’t fully impressed

*2024-03-18, version 1.69*

Like a lot of people I saw in the App Store that you get a free coffee upon downloading and signing up within the EL&N app. Being in London today with my Mum I tried it. It’s true -  generously you get given £5 of points to spend instantly on anything you want, providing you order directly from within the app under “Order to your table” option which then allows you to redeem the points. The first issue was approaching a EL&N in London, went in to be told by a nice manager that its table system wasn’t working & we’d have to use another EL&N to use the points, which was fair enough. Went to the next EL&N, with my mum and was told by the woman showing us in that the app wouldn’t work to allow us a drink in store via the points, only a takeaway. After I kept telling her it should work based on the instructions within the app I’d seen, she told me “You are welcome to try & see if you can order to the table.” Both me & my mum were able to do this, without issue. We both thought that surely a manager would know this and should have been more welcoming of us as customers and the offer. It gave me the feeling they didn’t want people using the cafe to redeem the offer, despite the fact I told the manager I’d like to use EL&N in future. While glossy from the outside, we both didn’t like the atmosphere which wasn’t as warm compared to another coffee shop that day. Despite the generous points, I wouldn’t recommend or go back regularly.

### 1/5 — SCAM!!!!!

*2023-11-02, version 1.65*

People do not download this app, it will say you will get £5 off your first order, but when you get to order it does not send you a verification code, worstttt experience ever!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-09-03, version 1.65*

Downloaded at Heathrow T3 - in a hurry - app doesn’t recognise table QR code; although it worked to download the app…

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-06-09, version 1.64*

Useless app where it doesn’t recognise the QR code at your table so you can’t order via the app. No point to it whatsoever

### 1/5 — Doesn’t function

*2023-03-18*

The app’s purpose is to scan the QR code at your table to order, but it could not read the QR when my regular camera could.

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work!

*2023-03-11, version 1.61*

It’s fake! Horrible! Wast of time!

### 1/5 — Useless

*2023-02-11, version 1.61*

Glitchy app, QR code scanner fails each time. Utterly useless and pointless app.

### 5/5 — Seamless, efficient and easy, great team!

*2023-03-13, version 1.61*

I usually sit in because I like the ambience and El&N’s opening hours work well for me, but I was heading to work and noticed they offered Click&Collect on the app. They offered the majority of the menu which was great! Easy to use and I was able to use Apple Pay which was a bonus. put my order through, and selected a time to pick it up. I arrived slightly earlier but my order was ready moments later, which I was pleasantly surprised at!! Didn’t have to wait long at all. Warm and friendly team as well
And of course, the coffee tasted great!! Will be retuning and making use of this when I’m on a time crunch. Can’t fault it at all. Thank you El&N 🙏🙏

### 5/5 — User friendly!

*2022-08-17, version 1.55*

When I visited EL&N cafe I was informed I had to download their new app to process my order! It was very straightforward and user friendly! I also got £5 off my order once I signed up! Great experience!

### 5/5 — Amazing!!

*2022-08-12, version 1.55*

Got £5 off when I signed up. Really easy to order with too 👏🏽

### 3/5 — Disappointed

*2022-08-27, version 1.57*

I downloaded the app hoping to get my free coffee as it says everywhere in the shop “download and get your free coffee”
Me: “how do I get my free coffee?” To a staff member.
Staff: “you purchase coffees, cumulate points, and at some points and only then you’ll get your free coffee..”
Me: “oh do I have to buy coffees before I get a coffee for free, because that’s not what it says on here”
Staff:”yes I know but that’s how it works…”
Me: “okay…”

### 2/5 — Constant error

*2024-12-23, version 1.70*

Whenever I try to use it, it says an error has occurred
