Came in with high hopes and left absolutely outraged. I came into the store and was next in line. I patiently waited for any sort of acknowledgement. After 8 minutes I still had not been acknowledged in any way. No hello, no wave, no "we'll be with you in one second", nothing.
Now I have worked in coffee shops as has my wife. I understand stuff can get busy and I would have been flexible. However the employees acknowledged SEVERAL customers who came in after me or were already there. So I couldn't even get a hello but customers who came in well after me were greeted. I was never rude, waited calmly, quietly and patiently but I guess I wasn't good enough to be acknowledged.
After 10 minutes I finally left completely angry and unacknowledged. I then headed over to another shop where the atmosphere was infinitely better.
I am not one to chalk things up to racial reasons however the only unique factor is that I was the only African American in line or in the store at that time. All caucasian customers were greeted but I was not. While I can't say that this was the reason, in my eyes it was and has forever led me to avoiding this location.

Absolutely awful experience. Not to worry however, I will...

They did have a lengthy coffee menu though I don’t think they had cold foam which is fine.
This cafe was located in a mini mall in Mt Lebo which was kinda nice because there was so much parking! The cafe itself was not overcrowded, plenty of places to sit but also people coming in and out. Not necessarily an Instagram-environment but it was a nice change from all the super trendy (and very...
Read moreExperience great food made daily with fresh ingredients by friendly employees at Café Americano. Not only does the he café have free Wifi, enjoyable music and a warm atmosphere for dining in but it is also open for take-out. Of the food options, I love the crepes and paninis the most. My personal favorite is the "Vegie Delight" made with egg, tomato, spinach and onion as well as feta and mozzarella cheese. Delicious! If you prefer a coffee, espresso, latte or juice blend, they have a wide selection. I enjoy the seasonal "Eggnog Latte" this time of year. Whatever your craving, Café Americano has something for you. Keep up the phenomenal service! I recommend this hidden gem to anyone looking for a...
