Coffee: 2/5

The flat white I had was a bit watery and lacked the velvety texture I typically enjoy. The price point of £4 seemed a bit steep for a flat white that didn't quite meet top-notch standards. While it was enjoyable, I would expect more for the price.

Atmosphere: 4/5

The atmosphere was cramped and dated, with a well-worn feel. It had some interesting touches, like communist pamphlets, and played some nice classical music you don't hear often in coffee shops. If you prefer polished and clean spaces, this might not be the place for you.

Bottom line

This coffee shop offers a modest cup of coffee at a premium price. The setting is rustic and unconventional, with a charm that comes from its quirky decor and classical music selection. It's a spot for those who enjoy a more authentic and less polished experience - but it's not for me.
