We were the first customers at the café, arriving exactly at 9:00 AM when it opened. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing due to the rude and unwelcoming behavior of one of the staff members — her attitude and unfriendly looks made us feel very uncomfortable.

The creamer, sugar, etc. was all in the same place so we felt rushed when preparing our drinks as the line looked impatient at us. It would have been nice to have a separate preparation table aside the coffee machines. Overall a nice...
