Beautiful coffee shop with simple three menu (espresso, milk, filter) and very clean atmosphere. It was lovely that we were able to choose the coffee beans for the filter and the staff was able to advice us on coffee based on our preference.
The egg tart was really great and wished it was warmed as well.

There were only a couple of places to sit. I am not sure if this is a pandemic thing, but they would definitely benefit from more seating areas. There was only a small cake selection.
I definitely want to support independent coffee houses rather than Starbucks, but more could be done here to make customers feel more welcome.
The building is an old (Victorian?) industrial unit with a glass roof. The interior has a trendy plywood industrial vibe.
