What visitors mention

A visitor post from the past week (year not shown) described sitting by a window with a lemon pound cake and a drink, and mentioned seating on several floors with an industrial feel. The post did not name the drink, so we do not either. The images show a pound cake slice topped with a dried lemon slice, a three-tier wooden display with a chocolate ring cake and rolled breads, and glass jars of tea samples with dried flowers and fruit.

The space

The images show a green bench by a glass door with a night-view photo on a wooden wall panel, and a wide grey-walled room with round white tables, wooden chairs and a large plant opening to a terrace.
