The coffee was actually pretty good, but I was sitting on the bench outside with my friend, after buying the coffee, and the gentleman told us about 15 minutes later, “necesito el banco” because he needed to put it inside.
This was fine, but it was a rude way of saying so, as he was basically kicking us out. So me and my boyfriend went inside to speak to him & he said my boyfriend was yelling & aggressive.
I tried speaking to the gentleman’s mother calmly in Arabic to which then she yelled at me, telling us that this is a very popular coffee shop and our time was up and she has many many orders coming in. Keeping this in mind there were only about 4 people inside the coffee shop.
I simply wanted an apology since I drove 40 mins to come to the establishment & I was honestly offended when they kicked us off the bench.
I was speaking quite calmly to the gentleman’s mother, but I was so shocked at the yelling in Arabic & slapping her hands together at me. Saying that “welcome here but leave now leave”. This was … surprising.
We wanted hojas de reclamación to which they didn’t give us any, which is against the law. The gentleman did say to give him 5 mins and he will speak to us but then once the mother yelled he told us to leave.
She said I wasn’t giving her a chance to speak even though I barely got 3 sentences out, which took me aback.
Very inexcusable to yell at a customer as if they’re your children … no matter what the situation … if she didn’t yell then we would’ve also apologized for getting upset and everything would have been fine. It doesn’t matter what happened, you just can’t yell and start slapping your hands together that way.
This was the experience. Uncomfortable for everyone involved, including us customers.
Coffee was good though, the tahini one, I would have probably come back to order another one if I wasn’t yelled at.
Best of luck to the business, it seems like it’s new, hopefully they can have more of a direct & respectful communication with customers in the future, especially those who come from far away just to...
Read moreA Hidden Gem in Madrid
I recently had the pleasure of discovering a true gem in the heart of Madrid, Utopico Specialty Coffee. This specialty coffee shop has not only won me over with its exceptional brews but has also left a lasting impression with its warm and welcoming owner.
From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted by the intoxicating aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans. The cozy ambiance of the cafe, with its rustic decor and soft jazz playing in the background, instantly put me at ease. It's a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The coffee, however, is what truly sets this place apart. The owner's passion for coffee is evident in every cup. Whether you're a black coffee purist or a fan of lattes and cappuccinos, you'll find a wide range of options to satisfy your caffeine cravings. Personally, I can't get enough of their Flat White (with OAT milk) . It's a harmonious blend of flavours, and each sip is a journey into coffee perfection.
What makes Utopico truly exceptional, though, is the owner's dedication to quality and customer service. He's always willing to share his knowledge and recommendations, making you feel like a welcomed guest rather than just a customer. It's this personal touch that keeps me coming back.
I've also had the chance to try some of their delectable pastries, which pair perfectly with their coffee. The cinnamon rolls are buttery and flaky, and the homemade cakes are a delight for the sweet tooth.
In a city filled with coffee options, Utopico is a standout. It's the kind of place where you can take a moment for yourself, relax, and enjoy a cup of coffee that's made with love and care. I can't recommend this charming coffee shop enough. If you're in Madrid and you love great coffee and excellent service, make sure to pay them a visit.
Thank you, Diarb, for creating such a special haven for coffee enthusiasts like myself. You've certainly gained a loyal customer in me...
