The café serves well-loved staples like almond croissants and a strong coffee aroma, with standout drinks such as cortados and flat whites; hot chocolate and London Fog receive high marks, while some chai drinks are noted as overly spicy or underwhelming. The space is small and often busy, with limited seating and a no laptop policy that encourages conversation rather than work. The front window and interior feel like a tiny magical store, making it a place to linger or browse souvenirs, though some visitors find prices high and the crowds tight. Service can be warm and friendly, but on busy days wait times and occasional missteps occur, and some reviews report stale baked goods or inconsistent experiences. Construction nearby and occasional lack of amenities like toilets are also mentioned.View restaurant profile
