Friendly staff! Good ambience and a great place to open a laptop to work/study! 😊

Amazing coffee and super amazing food! This place is iconic. Also a really nice place to work from for a little while.

Been here a few times to work remotely indoor and outdoor. If you’re lucky, you’d be greeted well. If it’s one of your unlucky day, you’d be surprised to be greeted by the barista/cashier. 😂

Recommended if you need strong and reliable wifi for remote working. Besides that, the bathroom is clean (i’m quite picky when it comes to this lol).

Daniel Simpson19.03.2025

Superb flat white and the best banana cream pie I've had outside the states. Service was friendly and nice, not at all like some if the other reviews. Only negatives were that the hash browns on the meaty stack were burnt and I can see other reviews mentioning that. In addition, it was warm and so a window was open, but work was being done on scaffolding outside so if you were sat at the bar seating near the window (which I was initially) large wafts of builders dust and grit would come in and, more than once, blind me momentarily. Not much they can do about the works, but a solution is needed somewhat for the patrons while it’s taking place

wifi is genuinely awful. Place seems nice and coffee is fine. If going for work online, awful.
