Essentially one long room with a counter on the right hand side and a very long table down the left hand side. The counter has a display cabinet with variously-filled panini, various pastries, and some cake. There is a mix of seating: some bench seating, but mostly ordinary wooden chairs (but painted yellow), and couple of armchairs - total around 50 places. Apart from the very long table, there are a few other largish tables, plus a lot of marble-topped tables. There is yellow everywhere: the <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/171162378@N08/49217617243/">cups and saucers are yellow</a>, the awning, lampshades, even the coffee machine. |

[[Rowley Birkin QC]] visited on a Sunday morning in December 2019. There were I think five staff, outnumbering the customers initially, but more customers arrived throughout the morning. The music was at a very low level (mixture of easy listening/pop), and there were Sunday newspapers (Sunday Times, Observer, Mail on Sunday). For £7 I had two Cumberland sausages on toasted sourdough with a beetroot hummus<small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/171162378@N08/49217616103/ photo]</small>. An Americano was £2.40 and Earl Grey (leaf) was £2.50. |
