The Carrot Community Arts Coffeehouse — Restaurant in Avenue District

This so called non profit run by a few rich people and a server named chris who charged elderly 75 yr old person $3 .64 cents for a small hot coffee that was about 1/2 the size of a senior Mcdonald's coffee which by the way sells for @ $1.19 at Mcdonalds and HE FORCED THE LADY TO BUY THE COFFEE WHILE HE WITH HELD THE BATHROOM KEY FROM HER TILL SHE PAID FOR THE COFFEE WHILE SHE Was WRITHING IN PAIN and considered this cruel and inhuman punishment -‐--[FROM A VERY SMALL BLADDER ] yes he actually demanded that she buy something before he would give her the key to a microscopically sized bathroom with no toilet paper, smelly, dirty not capable of serving a disabled person[due to size] They also do not believe in hiring older people.! They charge an exorbitant amount for a so called coffee house, so called non profit, that has no human consideration for elderly people or poverty issues yet they say they are humanitarian or charitable ! Who has seen their staff ?,supposedly all volunteers.! where does the money go...?...../////not much consideration for the poor or the less advantaged. not even a senior coffee price,,,,,,,, wow starbuck s look alike but how they dare to call themselves a nonprofit..... what a joke......! They should be turned in for what in all appearances is a front for fraud ................. Oh and by the way their newspapers were a month old and most of their books were diabolical: mostly not fit for children. Something mighty wrong here !!!!!! I wonder what CRA would say of " no receipt" hmmmmm! Have you seen how much their board/ directors make? Shame on you for such abuse and meanness in these trying exotic times. Furthermore it is more than obvious their bathroom policy is directed to keep out the poorest of the poor I e the homeless: How cruel How petulant How unbecoming to a nonprofit...

If you’re considering a stop at this "community arts coffee shop," you might want to think twice. While the idea of supporting a local, artsy establishment sounds great in theory, the execution here leaves much to be desired. The prices are steep—expect to pay Starbucks-level prices for coffee, but without the consistency you'd get at a chain.

The drinks are wildly inconsistent. I've ordered the same latte multiple times and gotten a different drink each time. There’s no standard recipe being followed, and it’s frustrating to pay a premium only to end up with a subpar drink. At least at Starbucks, you know what you’re getting, but here, it’s a gamble.

To make matters worse, the shop is run by volunteers, which might sound charming, but it leads to a lack of professionalism. The food isn’t fresh, and it’s obvious. They even made a decision to stop offering large lattes, which makes no sense to me.

If you’re into the idea of supporting the arts, there might be better ways to do it than overpaying for an inconsistent...

I understand this coffeehouse is run by volunteers and whatnot, but either way they shouldn't be any reason why I had to wait 15 minutes for the person to take my order, warm up a sandwich, and toast a bagel! There was only me and one other person in line and if I had known it was going to take that long I would've went elsewhere. I ended up showing up 5 minutes late for work when I should've been on time. Never going to that place again, not to mention they didn't put the cream cheese on for me after my bagel was finished being toasted, by the time I got to work I had to do it myself but my bagel was already cold and hard, thanks a...
