Sooooooo GORG!!!! TOTALLY worth the visit ESPECIALLY if you're a fan of starbucks!!! Can't believe we waited until now to visit when we've been here almost a month. Had I known about this GEM, we would've been here EVERY chance we had!!!
The view is breathtaking. The food is fresh & yummy w good portions. Lots of options w pretty fast service. Drinks r STARBUCKS!!! Need I say more!?!??!
Staff and Service are so polite & attentive. The vibe is so genial, laid-back.... like a Sunday brunch among6 friends.
It's outside w a roof/canopy overhead. so not as much risk of Covid exposure.
We werent rushed out which was sooo nice because we got to spend hours lunching, drinking coffee, buying merchandise, and taking tons & TONS of photos!!!
My only complaints are...
2)We did not do the coffee tour. I have a disability that does not permit me to walk up or down uneven surfaces like ramps. When I asked about attending the tour & whether inclines/ramps would be on the tour, I was told a simple yes to there being inclines, and no accommodation whatsoever to even try to do part of the tour. I had been soooo excited to hear the story amd background of the farm amd partnership with Starbucks. My daughter amd I are avid fans and when we learned about the farm, we had to visit before returning to the US. To have come so far and possibly not have another opportunity to visit the farm before we leave, it was very disappointing to not be given a chance to at least hear a part of the history and science behind the farm. My daughter would not go without me, so we both missed out on that experience. I urge training for staff to accommodate the needs of those with disabilities like mine. While I may not have been able to walk up and down hills/inclines, there were sections if the tour and farm that were in even ground which I could have participated with. The staff should be taught to adapt accordingly under such circumstances to ensure fairness and equal access for all.
4)There is very little signage on the way to the farm. We thought we had gone too far several times. Def add signage!!!
All in all, it was a FANTASTIC day at the farm spending time w my daughter. I am soooo grateful for today. I wish every day was...
