The food we had was tasty and satisfying. However, quite a few dishes from the menu were not available, which was a bit disappointing. Service was acceptable, though it could have been more attentive. Overall, a decent experience but the atmosphere and limited menu options left room for improvement.

Walked up to the shop at 15:40 to grab a coffee for my train journey, and the staff quickly flipped the sign to Closed, and said "we're closing early, we have no staff". Sadly, I can't report how good the coffee is, only the service...

Went in on Saturday around 11am for breakfast with a mate, the English breakfasts and a mug of tea were exactly what we expected, spot on! Having read other reviewers that moan on about a Chai latte this, and over priced that, and “not good vibes” need to reflect on their expectations. This is a standard cafe, it’s not claiming to be a fancy coffee shop that specialises in fashionable concoctions, it’s also next to a station in a major city, it’s not going to be budget priced, as for vibes, it’s not a hipster hang out either!
