Clean but full of educational chaos

Department For Education is less a café and more a hotbed of educational drama. With a hygiene rating that’s excellent, you can safely sip your coffee while pondering the state of education. Unfortunately, the reviews are not kind, with complaints ranging from bureaucratic mishaps to questionable spending decisions. It’s a bit of a dumpster fire—but at least it’s a clean one.

If you’re after a caffeine fix, you might find it here, but don’t expect any enlightening conversations. The vibe is more ‘let’s complain about the system’ than ‘let’s enjoy a nice cup of coffee.’ It’s a place to drink and grumble, not to relax.

In short, if you want a clean place to vent about education woes, this is it. Just don’t expect a good time.
