It's a lovely hidden café with delicious cakes and good coffee. The owner is a lovely person. But he should teach some manners and customer service skills to the new staff girl. They should be careful increasing their prices by 25% (edit: the Americano was advertised at £2. I paid £2.50. That's definitively a 25% increase, I'm sorry. When I asked why I paid 2.50 when the board said 2, the girl told me, super dismissive, "oh it's the old board, it's not valid anymore, we have new...
