California Bakery — Restaurant in Milan

I rarely write bad reviews because I normally just get over it but this was remarkably bad.

We went in and straight away the waiter was annoying as we had to really quiz him on what tables were actually available. "this one okay?".. no that's reserved... And so on. Just tell us where to sit.

We sit down and there are 3 menus. They didn't tell us which one to look at. Pause here a sec.

Waitress brings over orange juice, bread and dip that we did not ask for (important for later). The dip has already been used by someone else as it already had leftover bread in there. Gross.

We find out we should be looking at the weekend menu. I'm vegan so I look at a couple option. Avocado on toast is €25 😂... And honestly the picture looks like a piece of toasted bread with sliced avocado on it and a tomato. It's as exciting as it sounds. No way would we pay that. The pancakes were €20.

So we decide to politely leave, we did feel bad. But before we leave, the waitress said hold on you need to pay for the orange juice!!! 😂 So I was a bit shocked to be honest but didn't want to cause a fuss. However, the waiter came over and said 'but there is table water too' and they charged us for that too!!

Honestly, worst restaurant experience I've ever had, food looked lame but had a price tag of a Gordon Ramsay restaurant. No idea what's going on in that place but I hated it.

To the restaurant: sorry to write the bad review but you charged me for things I didn't ask for which I think is...

We came in at around 1pm and it wasn't until they sat us down that they told us that the only thing we could have was the brunch menu. The brunch menu seems amazing at first glance, cause you only have to pay for the main dish and then the side order, the orange juice, the coffe, and the little platter with bread and spreads comes included in the menu, but the prices of each dish were expensive. 17 euros for 2 pancakes, 30 euros for a hamburger, 20 euros por a bagel/avocado toast. So either the prices are super expensive or you are actually paying for everything else that comes "included with the menu". When we finished eating we waited for them to come with the coffee and take our dishes away, but no one came to check on us, it wasn't until the other table had to order that someone finally came to our floor. They brought us coffee without the milk, we asked for it and one of us had to go to the first floor and ask for it again when after 15 minutes of waiting it became clear that they weren't coming. When it came time to pay, we noticed that when we asked for water they automatically brought us the most expensive one they had, without telling us there was another choice, and they also charged us for the extra juice that we had to order, since we were 4 people and the jug they brought was barely enough for only half a glass each. The only reason I'm not giving it 1 star is because the...

Dont know where to begin… I waited 30min to be able to order even though its not busy ( 5 customers all together including myself in the store). I walked in said hello and the staff didnt respond at all just stared at me 😂

A few more customers walked in for takeaway coffees which took 10min or so to be made. They all said hello and the waitress just looked at them without a response.I heard the customers ask multiple times if they can just get their coffees and walk off frustrated.

When my order eventually got taken it was only because I stood up from the table to to ask myself if I could order something. They asked me to wait, eventually walked up to my table and when I asked for a latte she responsed ‘latte no’ - and walked off!🤣 Im not even angry anymore its just too comical. I had to ask if Im allowed to order something else instead of a latte and finally got a cappuccino.

I would have honestly just left, if It wasnt fir the fact that Id agreed to meet a...
