Coffee Underground — Restaurant in London

I went to this small coffee shop upon all the nice reviews here as I needed a place to read some e-book and the reviews mentioning free wi-fi and study friendly made me choose this place.

In all fairness it has been a while since I've been but I don't think I EVER got any of the basic pleasantries. No "hi", "bye", "what can I get for you", "thankyou", nothing. Just rude, surly staff who stare at you until you speak, then wait for...
