The Best Bits

• Discovering that the queue actually moved pretty quickly. Trust me on this one. You're not left waiting for long.

• Sitting up on the ledge of the open window, peeking at the locals strolling by. A perfect people watching perch.

• The cool, slightly hipster vibe. Created by the young crowd, the slightly industrial décor (think concrete walls and rough wooden floors) and a selection of pot plants.
