Not sure why you posed this as a question, It's a shame you had this experience, the Ferrari exhibit was so well set-up, and never eat cake at these places it'll always be expensive, rookie error by Brian. You're 2 mins walk from the cafe's in the shopping area.

I felt the same way!
A:
I don't know if the "Design Center" still exist, but it is/was far superior, and I bet they didn't charge £20.08 for two coffee/cakes!!!!
