Customer Review Summary
Coffee is the main draw, described as good quality and much better than train coffee, with one reviewer calling the latte one of the best they have had. Pastries and prepackaged sandwiches come up close behind, and several reviewers describe friendly staff. Most visits are for convenience while waiting for a train. Prices draw the most criticism, with a white americano and a regular coffee both called overpriced and a few saying Costa is cheaper. Several also describe an abrupt, cold or rude woman at the counter. One says she refused the student discount and served an americano filled so full it nearly scalded them. Two reviewers point to a smashed window boarded up for months and door paintwork in need of attention, and one found the shop closed before an early train with no opening times on the door. A regular who otherwise likes the place misses their daily KitKat now that more vegan options are stocked.

“Rude, overpriced, slow, really not very nicer server, who was downright rude. Just avoid.”
- Karen Blackwell
“Absolutely disgraceful appearance and extortionate prices. Do you think a boarded up smashed window and grubby paintwork encourages people inside ?”
- Peter Smith
“Very convenient coffee when waiting for the train. Not cheap, but the coffee is good quality (much better than the train coffee!) and the prepackaged sandwiches are really high quality (Simply Lunch, Made range) The staff are very friendly.”
- Astal Errin
“Absolutely shocking appearance and simply uninviting. Filthy door that needs painting and a broken window that has been boarded up for months. I can only assume people in charge do not need customers.”
- David Payne
“It's ok. 4.10 for a regular? A bit over priced and not the greatest of customer service either. Don't think I would buy again tbh.”
