District - Parsons Green — Restaurant in London

I’ve been to District a number of times as it’s the best coffee spot in Parsons Green! Sadly, this morning it wasn’t a good experience. Post refurb and offering free coffee, there was no organisation, communication and the refurb wasn’t finished (loose matting by the door, someone could trip over) the queue was all over the place, customers picking up coffees which weren’t theirs or had ordered after others.

I noticed that the next customer (older lady, dressed well, was greeted by a friendly smile). The latte itself was not the best either.. couldn't really taste the coffee. The almond croissant was nice, although as it had been left out, was quite hard. Will not...
