Popped back into fade 2 black for a coffee and some food and was very surprised to see how much it had changed. Must say I wasn’t too impressed; instantly felt unwelcome. Visited with a friend who had a pushchair and it was so crowded we couldn’t get seated or store the pram in the back. The coffee is excellent and service although slow was still very friendly, think they were just a bit overwhelmed. The poor girl who had to make our takeaways looked rushed off her feet! Maybe we aren’t the type of clientele they are appealing to anymore. Seems like it’s going in a different direction, sad to see it has lost its independent coffee shop charm in favour of yet another bar in St. Albans.
