Not a lot of choice food-wise when I arrived, but seems like a nice place to get some work done. However, I think charging 85p to have a non-diary milk in a cappuccino is really steep though - the cafe could buy themselves an entire carton of oat milk for that.

Perfectly quiet place to sit with a coffee for a while. I enjoyed the ambience and the extremely polite staff (I see that this place had some negative reviews for customer service in the past, but they've clearly resolved that). The coffee itself wasn't to my taste, as it was extremely bitter. I didn't try the food, but it seemed normal enough. The latte art was beautiful.
