"I love the great use of space here. So many delicious selections of food and treats to choose from. Downside, staff occasionally muck up your order… eg savoury muffin and you realise back at the office you received a scone … however, equally delicious and the coffee is consistently good so can’t complain!"

They manage to consistently put out great tasting coffees (And a range of other beverages) and always pick and train their staff well.
