This place is going down the hill. Used to be my favorite coffee place but recently finding staff very rude and service really poor. Went there to have a coffee and small snack after hard day. Staff with terror on their faces said straight away that there is only two of them and coffee can be served only in takeaway cups (not many people in, no queue). It was 16:40pm and I asked what time they are closing as I thought I came too late to sit down but they said it is closing 6pm. So 1h20 min and most of the food was already packed, coffee was served in paper cup despite having clean ceramiv ones. In my opinion, time managment is not their strength and laziness is taking its toll on the place.

There was no official smoking space when I first started coming here about six months ago, although this appears to have changed recently.
One of the better coffee shops...

Staff were more happy to talk amongst themselves rather than the customer, I was standing for 20 mins. Very cleverly put together café creating atmosphere. When asked for extra needs to coffee they very happily obliged. Small tables not enough for a family bigger than 5. Children seats available. Lovely place to go for a chat. Not quiet enough for business. Normally fast service but kept waiting whilst they talked rather than taking my order. Not outrageous prices for drinks but food more expensive. Much more of a family friendly café than the likes of...
