They not only filter coffee but also filter people. After I finished the coffee and croissant I ordered, I started reading in my seat. About 20 min later, the owner came to me with a stank face and said I can't stay unless I order more food/ drink with a very impatient and condescending attitude.

During this time I was served & explained to a different member of the stuff that I was waiting for it to shut down before closing the lid. One minute later a 3rd member of the stuff came and started asking me the same thing!! I told her the same thing I told her colleagues but she was not listening... really not what you need on a peaceful Sunday morning :-( Food & specialty coffee ok but nothing extraordinary (granola not fresh / home-made).
