Very disappointed. Met a friend for coffee, had been here before and love the cafe decor and ambiance. Ordered a simple Americano, which, when served to me, was a weird golden color with zero visible crema...I actually wondered if they had served me tea by mistake. The flavour was correspondingly weak, so I approached the girl at the counter and told her that my Americano was very weak. She proceeded to explain to me, a tad patronizingly, what an Americano is: I know what it is, I've been drinking them for years. So I inquired about the beans used, and received a vague and not overly helpful answer. Since she just stood there and looked at me after that, I returned to my table and drank the insipid brew. I don't know if that particular batch of beans was underroasted, if the grinding of the beans was incorrect, if the dose used was too low, or if the machine itself was having an issue. I do know that for 87 cents a pod, my Nespresso machine makes a far superior espresso. More disappointing than the beverage itself was the fact that, when faced with an unhappy customer and the cost of a single shot beverage, no offer was made to re-make the drink, and make the...
Read moreI really like this place, I started going here shortly after Coffee Culture closed down. I didn't even know it existed. Their Wi-Fi is surprisingly very good, I completed my website and got my side business up and running on it in a week :D and the coziness of this place is what allowed me to sit there for hours doing that :D
Most the staff is extremely kind and pleasant, one of the girls makes a fancy coffee with a leaf design on top and it tastes amazing. The prices are fair, and the large windows at the front are a nice touch except for the gigantic Food Basics sign that you're forced to look at but its not their fault.
I moved to St. Thomas 2 years ago and its always nice to discover places like this as I am still not familiar with everything around here. Starbucks and Tim Hortons are trash so this will now be my go to spot for coffee, tea, and to work on projects whenever I want to get out...
Read moreI went into Streamliners after visiting the market to get one of their delicious lattes and a scone. As usual, the food did not disappoint. The service on the other hand was less than ideal. My visit started well, with my order being taken. I was invited to take a seat and my order would be brought out. I did so and my latte was delivered to my table quickly. I waited for my scone, but the two people working sat down at a nearby table with a group of their friends or family and were absorbed in an unappealing conversation about nail fungus. I waited a while, then got up and went to the counter. The young man who was working noticed me and got up and got me the scone once I reminded him that I was still waiting for it. Once the scone was delivered, he went back to sitting with the group again. At no point did either employee...
