Was really impressed by the ambience of the place and its location. The ambience was modern with hints of history and ample and spacious seatings. Would suggest for you to add some air-conditioners or fan to reduce the interior heat. The custom service was fantastic and had a wonderful latte and white chocolate & hazelnut cookie. Would definitely say its one of the best coffees I ever had in UK. Really strong and robust flavour coffee. However wouldn’t say the same for cookie as it felt somewhat unflavoured as I wasn’t able to get any hint of hazelnut. May really recommend to revisit the flavour balance. The cookie also looked more moist for some reason and missed its semi-crunchy nature. Some of the bakery items like croissants were sold off and it was a bit downfall for many customers who expected them. Maybe management should anticipate the weather and keep more bakery items available on place for better experience. In simple terms enjoy their coffee and hopefully expect some bakery items for you.

Visited on a busy Friday night originally for coffee but saw they had a drinks menu so ended up having a couple of Aperol Spritz instead. Prices were reasonable and there was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating despite being busy. Service was excellent
