One of the workers there are so rude, i asked for a refund as the matcha latte that i had was full of clumps of matcha and was not blended correctly, this had to be remade 2 times before i asked for a refund. When i did, the worker was so incredibly rude and im not exaggerating, i told her why i wanted a refund (the dark green spots of matcha at the bottom and throughout the drink) and she took it from me and said "well I dont see any bits" to which i showed her and explained where exactly they were, she sighed and told me that next time i will speak to a manager.

The only downside to this branch is that it's beginning to show its age a little and could do with some touching up to the decor.
All in all if you're looking for a pleasant place to relax at the weekend and read a book you can do a lot...
Read moreI didn’t enjoy the coffee at all; it had a burnt taste. However, the toastie was tasty. The place has a cozy atmosphere, but it’s very dirty. When I went to the bathroom at 10 am, it looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a week, and it was pretty clear that it hadn’t been cleaned in a while since it was so dirty, with old marks and dried stains, mold, scum, so early in the day. It was really gross. Even though there are two hand sanitizer stations, there was no sanitizer available. In a place that serves food, the cleanliness is really important, and this cleanliness level says a lot about the place. It’s quite...
