Malgré que le café n'y soit pas mauvais, le service n'est pas bon du tout. Attendre 15 minutes pour un café, debout dans un coin, du pour au final qu'il n'ait jamais été mis en préparation ce n'est pas possible. Peut être un oubli mais dans tout les cas le système de service n'est pas au point, l'impression d'être dans une salle d'attente, sans sièges... Pas ce que j'attends d'un café.

Interior is nice. Service is also fine, people were nice & did their job well. But the pastries & coffee are absolutely horrible. When they ask you if you want your pain au chocolate warmed up that is a clear sign something is wrong. Flat white tasted horrendous - you can literally feel the cheapest beans used.

The coffee is excellent & the ambience was pleasing. The down-side is the counter staff seemed annoyed & continued to rush us even though there were three of us & only one had orders yet. The staff forgot muffin & even then it took awhile for it to arrive at the counter. The muffin was refrigerator cold on the inside so definitely not fresh
