Happy Goat Coffee Co. (Glebe) — Restaurant in Ottawa

After searching for specialty coffee on Google I found the happy goat to be the closest shop open while visiting Ottawa on Victoria Day. When I saw “roasted on” date on their coffee bags as opposed to “best before”, I figured I could trust the place, but boy was I wrong. I ordered a 5$ cappuccino and because I like the taste of coffee and find lattes too diluted. The “barista” burnt the milk, produced no foam and served me a latte in a smaller cup. Cappuccinos, as opposed to lattes, are 1/3 espresso, milk and foam, respectively. Took a sip on the way out and felt like I was drinking the milk I give my kid before naptime. When I asked her if she’d put a double shot, the barista said yes, when I told her there was way too much milk, she said “well that’s how we always do them”.

The cashier looked at the receipt and i get the feeling she didnt like that i didnt tip. Im on mat leave and it was a 2.99 beverage: :/ for me not everything needs a tip. Feels like I instantly got ignored because of it. Iv worked in tip situations and its not mandatory. Maybe I'm reading into it but they all just ignored me until I asked how long a drip coffee takes it make. Not even a sorry, just “oh do you need anything in it”. It was super weird...

Went during the week in the late morning. Everything is so close together it was hard to sit with my baby. I don’t expect everywhere to have a high chair so I put her on my lap which is fine. The bathroom was big but had no baby change table or counter space so I had to change my baby on the gross floors. Good thing I was prepared and had blankets and change pad. The coffee was ok, I had a pain ol Americano. It was average. I also had a muffin that sounded good and it had lots of grain and fruits in it. Disappointingly It was over...
