Can't recommend this place highly enough.
Walking inside is like walking into a relative or friend's home. The warmth and generosity shared by the owners really evokes into the energy of the caff.
There are formica tables that are shared by customers, with family photos/artefacts across all walls, its like a time capsule.
I was offered tea or coffee immediately as I walked in (coffee made in an Italian moka pot on a gas stove).

It was a pleasure meeting today, and absolutely looking forward the...

This place is ridiculously overpriced.
A small and cold sandwich made of somewhat stale but still edible ham, cheese, and basic thin toast bread cost £6!
There were no food prices displayed anywhere — I looked around — and I should have asked how much it would be and walk out. It just looked so old and cheap that I assumed the food would be reasonably priced.
Do not go here if you don't want mysterious prices and terrible food.
Walking around the area later I felt very foolish because there are far more reasonably priced places with better food.
