A coffee shop near the Barbican Centre in St Luke's. It's part of a small chain, which has a branch near Tower Bridge, as well as outposts on Goswell Road and Brick Lane.
Inside it's a pleasant, buzzy environment, with a variety of tables and couches, as well as seats along the window. On a wintery visit around 6pm in November 2008, warm air was being circulated so it wasn't too cold, but both the front and side doors were kept open.
The coffee, however, is good quality and there's a decent selection of cakes and pastries. Ewan's almond tart had crumbly, flaky pastry, but a tasty gooey centre and was good value.
Coffee is served in cardboard cups (and food in boxes), even when you're staying in.
Last visited by Ewan and Jo, 9 November 2008.
