The place was fairly busy when Katrien and [[Aurelien]] visited (around 4:30pm on a Friday), but they got a table straight away. People seem to spend a lot of time over their tea, and turnover was low. It's supposed to close at 5:30pm on weekdays, but we've been able to stay until 6:15pm without feeling in the way. |
