The Cultural ExposéJuly 11, 2011A modern and surprisingly classy hangout (for a bookstore), with a decent menu - get the chips! - and much improved wi-fi; there's a few plug sockets dotted around too for the laptop, if needed!Upvote1Downvote
Erdi KaracaJune 22, 2014A bit dear for hot drinks but mini cream tea for £5 including a tea or coffee is a bargain. Very quite, good place if you want somewhere to do some reading.
