A uni friend's boss and his partner owned and operated it, hence the obvious architectural influence in detailing throughout. Used to be stocked with all things design (magazines etc) and the most incredible brownies known to man... the latter all heading out the door when they sold it. They kept the coffee brand though, and quality of food/service and still gets as many fancy pants designers as ever walking through its doors. Interestingly, there was a fair amount of cash spent of special acoustic gyprock on the ceiling to soak up the noise due to the amount of harsh surfaces... but the amount of baffling has never been enough to compete with the noise pollution both in and outside. this was my local for 3.5years.
