  This was my go-to and part time office while i was staying in the area on business.
  
  The salads are amazing - very fresh, nicely portioned, and tasty. Also thoroughly enjoyed to eggplant melanzane.
  Large variety of delicious drinks - from healthy fresh juices to warm, cozy teas and coffees
  Atmosphere is super comfortable - spacious yet cozy, lots of light, comfortable decor and situated on a busy but not too busy street corner great for people watching.
  
  Also thought the staff were friendly yet unobtrusive.

  Cavernous, well-lit cafe with huge windows. Good for a quick bite, reading, or getting some work done. Coffee is a little on the pricey side, but pretty good. Seats can be a little uncomfortable (very stiff straight backs, or none at all).

  I absolutely love this place and would definitely recommend it to anyone who works in the area or fancies a good value-for-money breakfast or lunch. As a vegetarian, I think this place is great for both meat eaters and non-meat eaters. The Italian parmigiana is delicious and so is the pasta salad. They offer fresh juices and fresh mint tea as well, which are great. There is an outside area which is nice in the summer if you want to sit in the sun.
  
  HOWEVER...
  
  I must mention that the man who works there (who I believe is the owner) is rude to me every time I go there and I hope he changes his attitude towards customers. I will probably take a break from Coffee Junction because of my bad experience with him.

  I like coffee junction a lot. It's a great place to sit and work remotely, although if you have to take calls, it can get loud (especially at lunchtime when it is absolutely packed). The coffee is delicious - and their mochas are so nice and chocolatey. Their food is also great - got a Brie, bacon, jam panini for brunch one day. Their salads and eggs and juices are also great. Only thing is that they get a little disorganized at lunchtime and you feel pretty rushed when ordering.

  What I like about this place are the windows. You can sit inside (or outside if the weather is nice) in one of the comfortable sofa seats or the stools perched along the facade to enjoy your coffee/lunch and see the world go by.
  
  I have been there for late breakfast/brunch and ordered coffee and pastries, as I am more on the sweet side that my friend. She ordered a chicken sandwich that looked and tasted good.
  
  Coffee is average, so is food. But for the price, I have to say that is quite decent.  Drinks are under £2.50 and food is under £4. Apparently salads are only £3 and massive, but I still have to try them.
  
  I also appreciate their policy of bringing you your order to your seat and not collecting the money right away.
  
  Free WiFi and newspapers and magazines available to make your break more enjoyable.
