My husband and I were in Carson City early yesterday morning, we drove down there from Reno to get our Land Rover fixed at a particular shop. Having nothing else to do for a few hours my husband and I decided to walk the downtown historic district. Might I just add, it is a beautiful walk by all the historic buildings and old saloons, especially early in the morning there is no one around, or perhaps this is how it always is in Carson? Anyway my husbands love off all things coffee led us across the street to Comma coffee where we were both pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is great! Very relaxed and inviting, there were several other patrons enjoying both food and beverage but it was very quite throughout. We were greeted immediately after entering by a very sweet brunette, this didn't seem at all like she had to welcome us more like she wanted to, which is always nice. Having ate breakfast before heading to Carson we were both still rather full and were only interested in a basic house coffee for my husband and a tea for me. Our total came to four dollars and some change, having no cash we needed to use our debit card. This is where I am displeased. To use a card of any sort apparently you had to have a minimum five dollar purchase, of course this was agitating because all we wanted was drinks. So reluctantly we purchase a bagel to split, with this and the card fee our total was now seven seventy-five. There was an ATM, but it also had a larger fee so the bagel seemed the best route. We prepared our drinks at the small station which provided milk and sugars and sat at a nice table near the front window. My husband, who attends coffee tastings regularly was quite pleased with the coffee, the blend he chose had hints of caramel I believe and he stated it was a very nice blend. I also was very pleased with my English breakfast tea, and the mugs were a larger size, I enjoy that. Our bagel was delivered to our table quickly by the same pleasant brunette but it was slightly disappointing. It was a spinach asiago bagel, we were hoping for some large pieces of spinach and melting asiago cheese unfortunately it was not at all like this, more so the type that is mixed into the dough and lacks the real flavors of the cheese and spinach. It was good, not great, your basic bagel. I heard good things from others about other food options but I cannot speak of that because this was our first visit and the bagel was all that we had. My husband was hoping to get a refill on his coffee but approaching the coffee bar we both noticed a sign on a jar that read "Coffee refill 50 cents. No, seriously refills are 50 cents, have you seen the price of coffee these days?" While I can appreciate that they feel the need to charge for refills, some coffee houses do, some do not while you are still sitting in the establishment. We frequent Java Jungle in Reno, who allows an unlimited amount of refills while you are sitting in the coffee house. Even Starbucks allows for free basic coffee refills while you are in their stores. I thought Comma Coffees approach was a bit odd but however they want to run their business is their choice. We had no cash or even change on us so we left it at that. I was hoping one of the staff that saw us boggled by the jar would say it was alright to get a refill, but this did not happen. I cant help but wonder how much coffee from the coffee station they end up just pouring out anyway? Unless it is allowed to sit all day until empty it seems odd they would not allow patrons to have basic coffee refills while still inside the building. So all in all the drinks are great, the service and staff was great, atmosphere wonderful. It was the whole money situation/inconvenience that caused the three not four stars from me. I think if we chose to stop there again or recommend it to friends we will just be sure we or they have...
Read morehe food is ok. But the customer service is poor. I love the ambiance of the space. The live music is also a plus. But the way the wait staff talk to you is just bad.
We went to Carson to visit family. We wanted something to eat so we stopped here. It was our first time. I ordered a turkey wrap which was good, not great. My daughter ordered hummus and veggies. My husband had the special of the day, a Blueberry Waffle. My son got eggs and an English muffin. My husband was still hungry so he went over to the counter and ordered a blueberry muffin. He asked to have it added to our bill. The waitress removed the muffin. We sat and waited about 15 -20 minutes for the muffin. Another waitress came by our table we asked her about the muffin. She said they were out of blueberry. We replied now but not when he ordered it. She went as far as walking over to the glass covered display and said nope no muffin. She came over and said we were wrong and there was no blueberry muffin her tone was very rude. Just then the other waitress showed up with said BLUEBERRY MUFFIN. The other waitress just walked away. I have never had a waitress treat me or my family as if we were stupid.
I loved the ambiance but CUSTOMER SERVICE is not one of...
