Raj Chohan was axed from the boardroom after her team failed to win the latest task of selling products on a shopping channel.
After the loss, the mortgage broker headed to The Apprentice's infamous La Cabana Café.
Speaking about the greasy spoon establishment, Raj told The Sun: "The tea was disgusting, it was freezing cold. I don't want to say too much but it was the worst cafe I've been to in my life.
"It really adds to the pain, you come out of the boardroom and you've got to discuss it [the failure] but at least if you've got a nice mocha or late it would give you a bit of a lift."

Raj continued by revealing BBC bosses made her drink the cold brew for the sake of the programme.
She explained: "The tea... one of the things they don't tell you because they've got to record it and they were like 'Raj, can you just take a sip' and I'm looking at them like 'I don't want to' but you had to take a sip so they could see people drinking.
"I'm going to assume nobody was drinking the tea and coffee there or the water, that was the hardest part of going there, drinking the tea.
"It was horrific, you could even see the milk and this little cloud floating on the top, I'm sure it was made about four weeks ago."
