Rude woman sells dry buns from yesterday.

Other reviews say it all. Woman who runs this shop is unpleasant and rude. What a shame. Sort it out. I'm embarrassed on your behalf. Nice veg doesn't give you carte blanche to act like a troll.

laptop free zone but no warning about that anywhere and was only told once we had already ordered food, so too late to go elsewhere.. I asked if I could use my laptop outside as I had to deal with something urgent and was told I couldn't so I ended up having to deal with my stuff from a bench in the square nearby. If you're going to have a policy that's anti living irl, at least advertise it somewhere. Food was nice.

The lady that owns, or maybe just manages, but I assume owns the restaurant is incredibly rude and unkind. High chance of walking away having had a worse day then before you walked in.

We received very poor customer service and made to feel extremely unwelcome. The server refused to seat us in the cafe because we wanted coffee only and not lunch. They did not offer any alternatives or even a light lunch so we left.

Decent food, but the owner is one of the most unpleasant people I've encountered. At best, she's passive aggressive or patronizing, but usually she's downright rude. She once told me the apples for sale were 'from Cambridge, that's outside of London,' as though I couldn't possibly have heard of it, being Asian or a citykid or too scruffy of whatever it is that she thinks I am. Another time, I went to Leila's for lunch on a Tuesday without realizing that in fact the cafe is not open on Tuesdays. As I approached, I took a photo **of the outside of the building from the other side of the street** so I could text it to my parents along with a message that read something like, 'oh, remember our lovely lunch here that time?' Upon entering the cafe, where its owner was seated, I was told to 'delete that photo.' I have on many occasions seen her interact quite willingly with other customers and/or local tradespeople. The one time she did smile at me, her eyes were cold, glassy. I don't expect chumminess, but I do expect human decency, especially considering I pay service charge every time. PSA: racism is passe!

I really wanted to like this place. The space is beautiful and the menu looked delightful. The produce was fresh but the preparation was quite bland, with portions that did not align with the price point. £16 for cod and potatoes with hardly any fish. The fish was broken down and mixed in with the potatoes. For a starter this would work but for a main? Only three bites of fish in total? Maybe I caught them on a bad day with not enough produce but I would not risk returning to test that theory ?

This place is fantastic. We stumbled across it by accident and it was like water appearing in the desert. You should go here!!! It?s so cozy and wonderful!! I will think of it for forever.

This place looked so cute I had to stop and get something but man oh man oh man is the miserable lady that runs this place mean or what?! I thought it was just that she was having a bad day but then I saw all the reviews. If you have people, maybe consider another line of work?

What a awful place. Atmosphere of a funeral of someone you hate. Food underwhelming , meagre portions giving a sense of the poor house which would have been in that building in the victorian era. All served with a side order of entitled distrain from the staff. All in all I hated it. And I wouldn't wish that experience on my worst enemy. And to top it off. I'm still hungry. Go round the corner and get a Beigel instead . You'll have a better day. Still thinking about this awful place. These kind of places are what are killing our city. Soulless, depressing and just bad food.

The food is simply a cut above. The menu changes daily based on what is freshest, the flavour combinations and cooking are superb.Can the staff be a little frosty, as suggested in other reviews? Maybe if you're a shrinking violet ;-).Overall, a wonderful eating experience.

My favorite shop and lunch spot in town - such beautiful fruits and veg, wines, chocolate. My recent lunch of curry and greens over rice with a side of yogurt was so flavorful and served on beautiful vintage French plates with the best green salad. The dessert of strawberry elderflower panna cotta and jelly combo was truly a work of art. 10/10 highly recommend.

Good products but abusive prizes, and the worst of all is the service. Like many other people express in the comments, I felt like I was a burden from the moment I walked in.

Well I have no idea what I paid forNo proper toilet, the food was worse than average, furniture is old and it was very uncomfortable to eat at the staggering table
