“ It’s seldom that Cafes in the U.K. know how to make a decent coffee. This one does. In fact you can even get a decent cortado here which is even rarer. Another feature which you don’t encounter often on the high street: it’s immaculately clean. Service is quick and efficient. Well done. Highly recommended. We will be back. ”
