My new favourite café. The gentleman at the till was so friendly and welcoming and even offered my dog a sausage. The coffee was lovely and the staff’s attitude really made my visit lovely.
We liked Coffee Plus for grab and go stuff to wait with or take on the trains but it was removed about 2 1/2 years ago. But for a couple of months or so we’ve seen a much smaller mobile set up in the space several metres inside the turnstiles. Very basic but useful in its own way. Better by far is another sort of pop up coffee and bagel place outside at the west end of the car park run by Hutong. We have yet to be drawn into the new cafe in the north west corner of the concourse between Smiths and the ticket counters so can’t say whether it’s any good or not.
From the first week in April the Greek restaurant has closed and been refitted and replaced by a new bar called Vault72 which is opening from 6 - 11pm, Wednesday to Saturday. There is a website. It’s not clear whether some days will require an entrance charge or membership.
I found the Bar Steward Mohammad to be very friendly helpful professional
and forthcoming with suggestions on what we could drink. He always had a smile every time we came to him at the bar.
Paid for a giant pasty and got a burnt large pasty that was so hard it nearly broke my teeth on first bite. Must have been re-heated many times and went straight in the bin. Had a giant Dewdneys from Stoke recently and it was the real deal. Avoid this place as ripping you off on size and pasties fit for the bin.
We had a wonderful first experience here today. We grabbed lunch here before heading over to the aquarium. It was quite busy in there and it seemed as though the place was a bit short staffed, however we could also see that the staff were doing their upmost best to keep things going smoothly. Our server was fantastic, I didn’t catch his name but he was a really pleasant guy! The food was simple but delicious and as a little side note, the request for a bit of space around the table for my little one’s pram that I put in my booking was paid attention to and we had a wonderful table with plenty of space for him.
