I want to start this review by saying this has nothing to do with the product or the service, which have never been anything but lovely. The coffee is very well made, good quality, and the staff are friendly and diligent.
My only gripe with my experience today is that a book titled Roman Polanski: A Retrospective was displayed proudly front and centre within the establishment. Now, it's none of my business if the owner wishes to display this work privately in their own home.

Read moreThe worst cappuccino ever from a speciality coffee shop. When I arrived home I walked past the shop. I ordered a cappuccino and I got a kind of milk with no coffee taste at all. I walked away and tasted it and brought it back immediately. The barista said it was exactly as it should be. (He talked all the time with a colleague about Argentina so I think he didn't pay attention) instead of saying sorry maybe something went wrong. I have been here several times normally always great and kind people. This...
