šŸ˜  I went in to get a coffee and was told that they are not going to open a new bag of coffee at 16:30 to make me one! Really shocking when it says they are open until 6pm. People often mention coffee,

    Really awesome coffee but it is more expensive than the average.

    Bit of a different review from the other on here. Big fan of this chains coffee (see my review of the one on Leather Lane) and this place is no different. Donā€™t expect to sit and drink your coffee here, think of this as a ā€œCosta Prontoā€ - great spot to get your coffee after getting off the tube and heading to work. Coffee is more expensive than a Costa yes - but itā€™s decent coffee, not the burnt roasted mess you get with Costa. They have dairy alternatives available at this one too. What I would say for improvement is that the store could be a little tidier, I know itā€™s a small space but it doesnā€™t feel as best laid out as it could, and some of the decor is looking work out and dated.

    Overpriced coffee (am comparing this to other similar venues serving great flat whites, NOT Costa). Also, they were grumpiest / rudest staff I have ever encountered. They actually made me feel really upset for the rest of the morning. Coffee itself was v good, but there are honestly loads of good coffee shops in this area, so I would personally recommend you avoid here and go elsewhere...
