It is something of a surprise to me there are coffee shops in stores like this (I don't drive so generally don't have access to them). This one is actually a gem. Its design and placement in the store is well thought out. On a busy day it can handle approximately 25 tables worth of visitors and I've seen it done. I'm addicted to the five star cheese scones so haven't explored the rest of the menu but I'm sure its up to scratch. Seats over looking the car park doesn't particularly sound enticing but somehow here it works. The waitresses here are perfect, I consider them to be the SAS of waitressing, if you want to see how its done come here. My congratulations to who ever is responsible for recruiting. Be in no doubt its a treat to come here!
