I love the fact you can order your flat white Aussie style (short, strong, authentic) or Pommie style (bigger, weaker, not authentic). I dare you to order it Pommie style from the Aussie barista!
Service is chirpy and attentive, but expect a 10 minute wait whilst your coffee is individually crafted for you - reassuringly the wait is exactly the same whether the shop is full or empty...
The decor is in the 70s vintage style - Danish sideboard and low slung tan coloured sofas - but not overdone, chalkboard style signage stays the cool side of whimsical.
Music tends to be whole albums played beginning to end - pre-digital style. Today's album is the Pulp Fiction soundtrack, on previous visits it's ranged from specialist concept albums to late period Beatles.
Food - the usual range of cakes and pastries and fantastic toasties made with Real Patisserie bread, or simple toast and marmite or jam.
The clientele is a mix of mature Mac users and studious kids from the local FE college, whose campus is just behind the shop. Naturally I fit into the former group.
