    Thank goodness public toilets are now obsolete! Only Victorians needed to eliminate waste.

    Absolute fire and accessibility nightmare. Cramped, with super uncomfortable benches. Yeah it has novelty factor, but how can you seriously charge me £3.30 for a decaf (most expensive item on menu).

    The atmosphere is interesting but the coffee was a bit disappointing. Still it's better than Starbucks.

    Переделали викторианский общественный подземный туалет в кофейню. Молодцы!!! Потрясающая еда - вкусная и здоровая. Тосты с авокадо, овсянка просто космос. И кофе лучший

    Das war einmal eine öffentliche Toilette. Daran erinnert nicht nur der Stiegenabgang sondern auch die Tatsache das vieles aus dem Interieur aus alten Pissoir Porzellan gestaltet wurde.

    Guter Cafe, freundliche (hippe) Leute. Leider ziemlich schnell überfüllt. Eher was für Kontaktfreudige.
