"I've walked past Nomad so often, thought I should give it a go. Unfortunately, I won't be back and I regret not asking for a refund. I took the last available table. The table was clean but there was a slice of tomato by my feet. The music was very loud and uncomfortably pounding more suited to a nightclub or bar than a coffee shop. It would be hard to have a conversation without raising your voice. I wonder if it was to cover up the building works outside. Perhaps closing the door and finding an alternative way to ventilate the shop might be a better short term solution than the disco vibe? I ordered porridge. There were only knives and forks on the table, so I had to get up to ask for a spoon. I also had chai tea which I would advise avoiding here at all costs. It came in a cafetiere. I've had chai in several cafes but it's never come in a cafetiere and there's a good reason why. As I downed the plunger, it splatted everywhere on myself and the stranger at the table next to mine. (Poor guy though he made the mistake of ordering chai too. His chaiplosion was less dramatic than mine, but still required mop up). My t shirt was stained and my book got showered by the hot drink too. My table neighbour asked for some paper towels and the barista kindly cleaned up. She said it's happened before, which begs the question of why they're still using cafetieres for tea? The flavour of the remaining chai was okay not the best, not the worst. However, the cafetiere meant I couldn't get all the chai into my cup without getting the leaves too. I had to leave half a cupsworth of tea stuck in the cafetiere, which made it feel getting even less value for money."
