But the best thing about my visits to this Starbucks was the wonderful Christine who was visiting here from Sacramento, California. I was trying to deal with a very sad family situation in my head, and she calmly chatted to me and helped me through it, while she also tried to study a bit, for a couple of hours. 10,000% better experience here from the supposedly evil corporation than I had at two other smaller independent cafes this week, who I will also be reviewing.

This place had been recommended by the locals as a good first stop on my afternoon tea bucket list. It is just fancy enough to keep you interested, but casual enough to put you at ease. Think i showed up during a rush and an employee break. One person was helping to seat, cleaning and taking orders. He was joined by 3 others about 10 min later. My order was taken out of seating order. Not the worst thing in the world. After he guided away from the children's menu, yes- I confused it for a specials menu, he made polite conversation when he come with the tea. Two teas that interested me were out of stock. Settled for the house blend 2. Enjoyable. Tea tower had a perfectly cooked brownie, macaroon, well toasted scone accompanied by jam and clotted cream, and theme finger sandwiches. The sandwiches were starting to crust, but I suspect they do so much business they are prepped in the morning. Little salt and they were perfect. At £15, affordable and good portion for tea for one. Worth a visit. Note. They try to set all 1-2 tops in the middle tables first. I stayed there, but many locals would move to the wall seats, given half the chance. (American in England)

The food here is however lovely, and portion size is good too. Mainly focused on sandwiches and cakes.

As a result it is very popular with mums of babies/toddlers.

It's very edible as well, just unexpected. While normally it would be something to avoid it actually maintains a silky texture transforming it from vile to a bit lovely. The Cappuccino, on the flavor side is a little weak, but it's very light and airy, like drinking a cloud. Most of the food has Greek or French roots, and is quite simple. But, that's not a bad thing by any means because the focus seems to be on quality, not extravagance.
