I just read the previous poster's posting. I don't know if I agree with that. I have to admit that I'm prejudiced and like Samover a lot (I was one of the people who discovered it, just after they opened). As somebody who has been to many restaurants and cofes and have to wait to get a seat, I appreciate the staff clearing tables moving on those people who just sit there for ages and use their laptop or take up a table.
If you go there during the week or in the morning, it;s definately more quiet and you can sit there all day.
Pros: Amazing tea selection, Very helpful staff
