Coffee shop The Box manager Josko Palada said the move that had been a world first had also been great publicity for the business.
He said: "It was a great move. It appeared we were the first coffee shop in the world to do that. We were delighted after papers like The Telegraph in London, or TV channels like Sky News were sending crews in our coffee shop to do a story.
"Guests love our idea and during a morning coffee they surf the net via iPad and enjoy their time. Our business has definitely benefited as a result."
