Ageist servers, terrible coffee, big slices of bread.
Went here on a whim for coffee and milkshakes but got pressured into eating real food. After first sip of coffee we immediately realized this was drastic mistake. Even the smell was a complete turn off. They surely dumped an ashtray into every pot. The cappuccino however was sufficient in flavour.
When the yogurt parfait was revealed, it was accompanied by two humongous Jesus sized pieces of Sahara like bread. However much to our relief upon the unfolding of the slabs of bread, we discovered it was buttered. Much to our satisfaction, it tasted heavenly. Especially with the classist strawberry jam.

Mon panini se résumait à de la sauce instant à pizza, des morceaux de tomates et d’oignons crus (et froids) du fromage rapé même pas fondu, et le pain à peine grillé. Quand j’ai dit que ce n’était pas cuit on me la ramené bien bouillant, tout frais sorti du micro-ondes. Donc ceux qui aiment les sandwiches grillés croustillants je vous recommande la Brûlerie d’ici qui se trouve juste à côté et possède une belle terrasse également (et du...
