Nice place but felt a bit rude on the staffs part after I had used the toilet. I walked out only to be bombarded with "EXCUSE ME, ARE YOU A CUSTOMER"... well first of all yes I was, but second of all, even if I wasnt, bynthat point I had already used the toilet and it would have humiliated me for making a mistake.

However, one downside is the lack of covered seating. If it rains, you’re left with nowhere to sit comfortably, so keep an eye on the weather if you plan to visit.
