Loved this place! The tea was great, and the wifi was faster than what I have at home. My one complaint is that I thought they baked their own cakes, but I probably should have asked. Still tasted good, wasn’t really what I expected or wanted though.
generally a good spot, just gets really crowded and loud on sundays. latte was fine, but definitely could’ve been better. muffin was a muffin. no notes. probably not the best place to study, as the only outlets i could find access to were ones by the window, and the surface area there was too small to comfortable write
I’ve been coming to this place regularly for a couple of years now. I find it very relaxing as a space to work/read/meet up with friends and nice big windows to people watch. Staff are always very friendly and their apple pie is definitely something I’d recommend. Only comments are that if you don’t get a booth seat it can be pretty uncomfortable on the big bar stools/metal chairs and I would like if they covered the muffins/pastries better at the front of the till.
Aside from these minor points, highly recommend.
Visited on afternoon of 10th Sept. Hoped to get a nice hot coffee which you can usually rely on in this coffee shop. It was just hot. I asked if it could be heated. Female staff member who didn’t seem keen to serve in the first place took my coffee from the guy that I spoke to and added about 2 inches of foam to the top of it. I said ‘it’s going to be really weak now’. Grumpily the female said she’d make another. I was to take a seat. I heard someone shout but didn’t know if it was for me. Then decided to go and look. My coffee which is the one in the photo was just sitting there on the shelf. It tasted like a cup of hot milk. I doubt I will visit this shop again or I will definitely check same female staff member who seemed lazy and unfriendly isn’t there.
Good coffee. Good snacks. Major minus: the tables are fixed in place in a way that assumes all customers will be rake thin…
