I have never eaten solid food there, but the coffee and service around coffee have been atrocious.
First, you have to allow 10-15 minutes to get your brew even if there is no one else in queue (the staff is too busy chatting with each other).
Far worse, the staff has no working definition of a cappuccino or a latte. Once I asked for a cappuccino to go. They recorded the order incorrectly and brewed in chinaware.

It appals me, the way a customer is spoken to here. Everytime you order something, you are judged for making that order.. something as common as a cappuccino, doesn't taste good enough (well that can be subjective) but one can speak to the customer with respect?
Two people can't order a single coffee, you have to order two separate coffees.. I mean I don't wanna have a coffee (because it taste so bad ) but I wanna sit with my friend and talk...
