    The service was very slow. Food took over 40 mins to arrive and we had to prompt the waiters for everything our table needed. The interior was a let down due to artificial plants used in the ceiling- goes against the architectural philosophy the cafe’s namesake stood for. Nice coffee and the food was ok!

    We ordered Chilli Scamble and a Goodness Bowl with grilled Halloumi - both very yummy. It was a hot day and we sat in the inside, close to the entrance. Hardly any air flowing. It would help to have ceiling fans to aid in seating comfort. Otherwise, lovely customer service and good food.
