Bonnie Jean Restaurant — Restaurant in South Island

We ordered some coffee/tea on a cold rainy day and requested if long black can be mixed with some normal water which usually all cafe ask the customer but she refused saying that “No I can’t do it and to add it on our own from the bar”. While she was making the coffee, our friend’s baby started crying for milk. We asked her if she can heat up the milk bottle in the microwave in the kitchen.

If you care about your restaurant’s reputation please give some more training to the racist lady to be more hospitable and kind to others or if she is the owner God save your...

But it's not worth a special trip. Especially if you are looking for a...
