I really like Velvet Cafe, the coffee and nibbles are marvellous BUT I continue to be disappointed by two things: 1) the hours they keep do not really cater to the public. On weekdays they don't open until 8, which is too late for a lot of early morning commuters; and 2) if you go for 8 am, there are no fresh muffins available. Am i wrong to expect a food business opening at 8 to have their pastries ready for morning customers? I actually stopped going there because of this and decided to try them again this morning to see if anything has changed ... it hasn't. They can run their operation any way they like of course, but I don't think I'll return.
