Today, I went with a friend to grab coffee at Stella Rossa Forest Lake. I had a trolley with me, so we chose to sit outside. She went in to order, but the woman at the counter, who turned out to be the manager, was quite unfriendly. When my friend ordered a medium coffee she was told to wait until her name is called.So my friend got confused and asked her again “is it a take away.”Then the lady said you ordered medium so that’s a take away.My friend was really upset and returned to sit outside.
When it was my turn to order, I experienced the same issue. The manager was distracted, speaking with other staff while taking my order.When I asked for a medium coffee, she responded in the same way. I went back to my friend, who told me about her experience.We couldn’t understand why we were treated so poorly.
Feeling frustrated, my friend went back inside for her coffee and tried to talk to her, she ignored her and didn’t wanna talk to her, so my friend spoke in a bit more louder voices and asked for her manager.The woman claimed she was the manager, refused to listen to my friend, and not only denied her coffee but also refunded her money saying that “She doesn’t want customers like my friend”. To make matters worse, she called security on my friend.

We had simply wanted to enjoy a cup, and we’re still left wondering what prompted such unkindness. We felt we were discriminated and the whole...

Read moreI found this place as l was entering the Forest Lake shopping centre. There was a sign at the door to wait at the door for a table. I waited for 10 minutes meanwhile other dinners where walking in from the inside of the shopping centre to the counter and ordering coffee and food. I gave up waiting and walked in to the counter to order food and coffee. I ordered the breakfast plate and asked for eggs to be scrambled. I was rudely told by the guy who came from the kitchen that they don't scramble eggs. I pointed to the menu which clearly shows the word scramble and he again was rude and said he doesn't scramble. When the meal arrived it was missing the beetroot relish and was rather small for a breakfast plate. I was not asked to sign in for covid and I noticed that the party of two before me did not sign in either. I...
