Lo and behold, that is exactly what East Street is going for.
As usual, I was hungry, so I went in and sat down. It was a bit empty (it was around 4pm, before dinner and well after a normal lunch hour), but they had a few people sitting there on laptops, using the Wifi.
I was glad to see that these weren't exorbitantly priced. I bought a very large bottle of sweet chili sauce. Yum!
