“This is a lovely little café/bar to spend time in while waiting for a connecting train. Great atmosphere, really nice coffee, and a much more pleasant place to relax than the main station. The only small bit of feedback I have is about my experience when I first arrived. I was mid-phone call, and the station was (as expected) loud and hectic. I had a quick look around for somewhere quieter to sit and order a coffee, and came across this spot, which was perfect. I found a seat, got settled, and was still mid-call when a staff member approached me—about two minutes in—to ask if I intended to buy anything. I completely understand why they asked: without that, the space could quickly end up being treated more like a waiting area than a café. I’m sure they’ve had people take advantage of the location, and they need to protect the business, so I do think the question is totally valid and fair. That said, I was still on the phone and hadn’t been there long, so it did catch me off guard a little. I had to interrupt my call to explain that I was planning to order as soon as I finished up the conversation and looked at the menu. This is honestly just a tiny reflection, and it doesn’t take away from the lovely atmosphere, the great service, and the quality of the coffee. I’d definitely recommend it and would happily come back. Maybe a small grace period (even 10 minutes) for those arriving mid-call could help avoid these slightly awkward moments, especially when people are genuinely planning to order. I hope this feedback is received in the spirit it’s given – with full appreciation of the lovely space and the challenges that come with running a busy café in a station environment. It’s a great little spot – definitely check it out!”
