First, they have kept the great minimalist look and feel of the shop interior, which is tiny in fact, and somehow managed to get comfortable - repeat, yet minimalist - seating for seven. And there's a very nice mat laying on the floor. They're only small changes, but the miracle that is good interior design strikes again.
The other giant leap forward is they now do boutique espressos of three (on any given day) of their single estate blends; I had a big argument with them about eight months ago over this, when they didn't do it - crazy - you can't be serious about beans and simultaneously force all your customers to drink one blend, I don't care how good the blend is, so (don't know when this new policy started, but it's a major breakthrough) this now leapfrogs into top place by a country mile.
If they provide free chilled filtered water (I'll suggest it to them) it will be the perfect coffee shop, and it will still be only 200 metres from the front door!
Still, 9/10 isn't a bad score.
*Update* They do provide fresh water with the boutique espresso! 9.5/10 (It isn't chilled)
