Robin’s Coffee Shop — Restaurant in Corner Brook

Over the course of a week we visited this Robin’s several times for coffee or a muffin as there aren’t other options. Each time, the tables were dirty. Some days the coffee was good, others it was undrinkable and we poured it out. Today our experience was atrocious. As I stood in line the flies going in and out of the dirty display were a testament to the overall shabbiness and uncleanliness of this establishment. I still ordered coffee and while the young man was trying to serve the entire lineup, three women stood just behind him gossiping and doing nothing to help.

I felt particularly bad for the elderly woman in front of me who waited for ten minutes for her bagel.

Almost 20 minutes waiting for a bagel? I could go to tims when its BUSY and get a full meal 3 times over in that same time frame. This location wont last long if they intend to keep the business alive unless they hope to make enough money off all the seniors that...

I've been eating Robins' breakfast sandwiches and their chocolate chip muffins since the restaurant opened. I've actually called out which locations in St. John's would close due to their poor quality control practices.. they can continue to blame covid if they like. I know the Corner Brook location is new and I understand it could take some time to get everything under control, however, if the owner is reading this, i recommend visiting the Paradise (Kenmount Road) Industrial Park location and if possible, having a meeting with that franchise owner. Their QC practices...
