Excellent oat flat whites. Milk drinks are on the short side so better for people who enjoy strong coffee.
Chill work spot. Avocado toast on point
It's kinda like walking into an office, the amount of people nursing single coffees whilst hunched over their laptops is unreal. I asked a dude, out of politeness, if I could sit at the communal ! table and he huffed at me as though it were some great inconvenience. OK mate, maybe work from home in future. Rude customers aside, food in 119 is great as is the tea, coffee can be hit or miss. Staff super friendly.
Large lovely light space, and laptop friendly as well.
Good cafe here including soya latte but overall the decor is bleak and the music was more like a club vibe and up so loud it made our ears ring, despite asking them to turn it down.
