The croissants are bone dry and the cakes clumpy-sandy! The most notable strange thing being: I asked for a cold brew, which I was promptly informed is not served in winter. However, I could choose from the other cold coffees on offer. So I ask if they have ice - response to which is a yes. So, I ask for an iced americano. Told it’s not possible but what’s one the menu. Ok so I ask if I can get a double shot of espresso with an ice cube, to which I’m met with: I can’t.

The outdoor sitting is not comfortable, chairs are shaking badly on the pavement, also cold as they are metal. would definitely help to have pillows for the chairs in the colder weather.
