I like the way it hasn't closed down, unlike some OTHER culprits in the area, 'cough cough' wetherspoons, I'm talking about YOU 🫵 I love this artistic place, beautiful, artistic, quirky attractive interior, and they do really nice different exotic teas and surprisingly nice cake which isn't too dry and has flavour. The food is very nice and seems freshly made, just it's really quite expensive 😱 Otherwise it's a treat to go in once in a while. I'm really glad it's been standing here for more than 10 years, I'm really glad it's still here
