“This place has an incredible homely aesthetic with collection of drinks and lovely service team. Got the Thai Green Bowl which was superb!
The real bonus was the access to plug points and fast Wifi which is great for a work session. They also offer meeting rooms and pods which are bookable on an hourly basis. Highly recommend work-friendly cafe or even to catchup with friends.”
