Worked over lunch ·
There is a tall counter along the back wall that works nicely as a standing desk. Quiet for a lunchtime and laptops are clearly fine there.

Bright to the point of glare on the window side. Wifi sank to 16 once it filled up, so do your downloads first and work offline after.

Better wifi than the reviews led me to expect, 65 down at midday. Nobody hurried me along, though I would not set up for a full day here.
