Still bright at nine in the evening and almost empty. Seating is tight but there is power under most tables.

18 down is slow enough to be annoying, but it is quiet and there are sockets. Fine for writing, no good for anything else.

Open late and the outside tables stay warm under the heaters. Connection was fine for everything except a video call.

Slow at 23 down but sockets along both walls and a very relaxed Sunday atmosphere. I stayed far longer than planned.

Cramped and noisy at lunch, and I ended up sharing a table. The coffee is very good, to be fair to them.
