I visit the M on a weekly basis usually to get some work done and it is the perfect environment to have some decently priced coffee, put your head down and get to work. I love the facilities here as the bathrooms are always spotless, the lighting is perfect for written activities and the staff are very friendly. It may get loud due to the stadium tours but depending on what you’re like, you can easily ignore it. I am yet to try out the food options they have here but overall, it is the perfect place to work or study conveniently.

What an incredibly friendly and welcoming team, led by Barbara! After our F1 driving experience, we came here for some food, which was not only delicious but also great value and served super quickly. Despite being a large group of 30 people, the team thoughtfully reserved a spacious and comfortable area just for us. While we only tried the mains plates (which were excellent), all the other food—including the cakes and cookies—looked great. There was also a great section for vegans and vegetarians. A fantastic experience all around!

It was a truly superb experience, with exceptional cleanliness and wonderful hospitality. The quality of the cakes and coffee was excellent, surpassing many establishments on the high road. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming, and the prices were quite reasonable. I would certainly recommend this place to everyone. Thank you for maintaining such amazing standards.
