very relaxed and interesting place to spend a late morning or early afternoon drinking coffee, eating the delicious cakes or sampling the great food. the staff are very friendly and are able to accommodate for different dietary requirements. i would especially recommend the chai latte, which was a lovely ten minutes. prices are reasonable, it is not cheap but then neither should it be, everything is prepared fresh for you. my new regular haunt for lunch.
