Stone Bros — Restaurant in London

On a February morning of rare warmth and sunshine, I entered Stone Bros a spring in my step and a yearning for the kind of quality coffee past customers have raved about on this very site. Well then, never in my life did I expect to encounter the events that would unfold in the following moments. Whilst waiting in the queue, humming away a merry tune and generally thinking how good the world could be sometimes, I experienced an unfortunate event that made me question this belief like I never before believed was possible.
