It took me some effort to find it but I guess it was worth it. It wasn’t crowded at all, and wasn’t noisy like the other house across the street (Bishopsgate). I was a tad disappointed that they dont have any food prepared in the kitchen, poached eggs etc. They had ready prepared sandwiches on the counter and also a plethora of bakes to choose from. Baristas/staff were very nice. Only I do have a comment to make about the difference in pricing for dining in / takeaway. It really boggles the mind (and not in a positive way).
