I've been using this lounge regularly over the last few months. In the mornings I am often the only person, or sometimes there might be a few others passing through as well. It's definitely not crowded before 9am.
The food and drink are given to you by an attendant -- often the same person who is manning the front desk. The drink selection seems to be the same as it ever was and the available food is microwaved omelet and sausage plates. As of now you can dispense the coffee yourself.
