Bright and workable at lunch, and a call from the back table was fine. It just fills up too fast to rely on.

Queue out the door most of the morning and only a couple of sockets. The coffee genuinely is worth the fuss.

15 down is not really workable for anything beyond email. Pleasant courtyard, shame about the connection.

Loud in the evening and the seats are tiny, but there is a standing ledge with sockets that most people miss.
