Experienced racism by my sister right in front of me. She only ordered tea and staff started laughing and the guy named Aslam in staff started speaking in one of the Indian native language saying we could take it for free etc. Everything he was saying was unnecessarily sarcastic.

I grabbed an egg sandwich on soft brioche and a drink and got in line behind 1 person at the left register. There were 2 people working behind the counter. The other staff member proceeded to take other customers behind me while I stood in line on the left as if I didn't exist. Food was decent though - the sandwich hit the spot. Had a bite of the almond croissant which was delicious. Plenty of seating to have...
