Wow am I ever surprised. We were asked to leave after not buying anything. And while that might be okay for some places then maybe put up a sign?

But you are a cafe where half the guests are students nursing their 5 hour old coffee. You are also a franchise so kinda unreal.

But really it was the blatant lie about needing the table for the crowd of guests who needed a place to sit. While yes there was a small crowd there was max 10 individuals in that line near the front. The number of seats I counted before I left was 32 including the 4 seater my sister and I got up from. Even if each of the 10 guest wanted a table to themselves there would still be tables and seats left over. Not only did we get approached which I thought was insane. We politely told them that we were leaving soon and not planning on grabbing anything at the time. So even more insane to approach us not even 5 minutes later to ask us to leave when we had already sad we were on our way out.

Like my bag was packed and I was simply trying to finish up an order on my phone

The true joke about all this was that we looked at the menu deciding if there was anything we wanted to eat and decided that things were too pricy for the quick work session we wanted to do. We also talked about how much we liked the atmosphere and that we would come back when we had a bigger chunk of time to see the menu and get something then

I hope your annoyance of me not buying a 2 dollar coffee was worth my sister and I now looking for another cafe to spend out time in weekly.

Like how shocking that this is the way that Williams cafe does business. That’s not how you retain business or build customer loyalty. I’ve frequented this establishment many times and never had an issue ( I guess because I paid for something) and have always offered this place as a top suggestion when asked for cute cafés.

I’ll be sure to take this complaint up as I also didn’t appreciate us being 1/2 black individuals being approached when I did a quick search and saw that some tables had not ordered anything either. Weather they were waiting for food or settling in I don’t know but we were obviously the minority and it gives me the ick to think we were stared at for a period of time before being approached. Wondering why they were concerned about us taking a four seater when no one was asking about not having somewhere to sit
