About this cafe
WiFi is reliable; the password changes daily and is printed on the receipt. A lively neighbourhood room where headphones earn their keep. Food runs to breakfast bowls, so you can stay all day. Regulars head straight for the bench along the wall.

Middle of the road. It got so loud after lunch that I gave up on calls and stuck to email for the afternoon.

The WiFi password changes daily and it's printed on your receipt. Fast once you're on. By late morning the room was so loud that I had to give up on anything that needed real focus.

WiFi held up fine, and the cappuccino is excellent. Sockets are hidden under the bench seating. Had to take my call outside. I'll be back.

The cappuccino here is outstanding, and I ended up staying for lunch because the breakfast bowls looked too good to walk past, plus found a plug under the bench without asking. Already planning the next visit.

Love this place. Open till 8pm, handy for an evening session. Hard to concentrate with the noise.

Thursday morning session, mostly a dissertation chapter. Too noisy to focus for long. Open till 8pm, so I stayed on after work.

Solid. Properly made cappuccino. Plugs under the bench seats, easy to reach. Order the breakfast bowls.
