| - Somewhat disappointing experience as I had been looking forward to visiting this place. I want to like it... but given the experience I had I can only give it 2 stars.
Very spacious and clean. Not as many seats as you would expect at a cafe though, less than 10 tables for sure. There is an area by the window where there's live performances every Friday or smth but it's off to the side so it doesnt take up that much space. There's also a large communal table right when you walk in, which is really a waste of space imo; you can get a lot more seating if that was exchanged for a few smaller tables. My sister and I pretty much took that whole thing over since the place was empty except for 2 other tables already taken, but it is right by the door so when it opens it does get chilly in the winter. There's also not a lot of outlets available (hence we had to sit at that giant table because the plug was right there) so if you're planning on a date with your computer, you better bring an extra battery or an external charger.
Service was meh tbh. And that's what brought down the rating for me. Barristas were not too friendly and the girl working the till was the same. They're not rude to say the least, but don't expect them to be friendly or cheery like those at other cafes. Ie. The cashier looked like she hated her life while taking the orders... expressionless, and when I personally brought my finished mug back to their side counter, instead of saying thanks to the customer, the barrista just glanced at me and continued whatever he was doing. Great customer service dude, keep it up.
Prices are what you would expect. Nth out of the ordinary. Had a muffin and the London Fog and that was pretty good, at least you don't find these everywhere. Came in a large mug with the tea bag hanging over the edge; light yet aromatic. The muffin was a teensy bit on the dry side. Their menu has a good selection and judging by the number of people sitting versus getting take out, I'd say take out is a better option.
I did notice though that while sitting there for a bit, there was a strong smell at the place... kind of like burnt stuff or coffee or cooked/fried food. Not a pleasant smell like roasted coffee or pastries at other cafes. As soon as I left I knew I would reek of it... and I did.
Mixed feelings about this place... not sure if I would be coming back any time soon.
