The sandwiches were freshly made, with some very creative fillings, good portion sizes and not much more than you'd pay for something in a packet in many places.

This distinctive, one-of-kind, and rare eatery has been able to distinguish itself by both locals and international tourists alike. Having won both the Food Awards London and Lux Global Hospitality for Best Community Café in the recent past, it only shows the excellence this cafeteria-style dining hall offers. When in the World's most unique city, one must visit the World's most unique cafeteria. It is not just a place to eat, but a place to be mesmerized by the historic past protruding into the fascinating present. A must do!

Sorry to say, because it looked like it had so much potential from the outside. 3 of us sat down to have afternoon tea. My sister was visiting us, so I brought her here based on the old reviews. Sad to say, I should've done more research. Tea was a disaster. The tea was mediocre, scones weren't very good at all, and the tea sandwiches were disappointing. The place felt very dark and dusty, and the decor was very tired looking. The servers looked very tired and nervous as well. I feel that with a bit more effort, the experience would change for the better, as the location is good. Overall, a poor experience, so I won't be returning.
