Black Sails Coffee Lounge — Restaurant in Citrus Heights

I must preface by saying I've really enjoyed making their coffee at home and came in already as a fan.

I really wanted to like this place, but had a bad experience. They have a nice setup and a neat fall menu. But, as soon as I walked away from the young gal who took my order, she spoke something negative about me under her breath to the barista guy. It was really obvious because she's a young teenager. When I walked back up to cancel my order, that would have been a good time for the young man to apologize for her. I don't want to consume anything that had been made with any type of negativity. Oh well. Hopefully, she learns to stop that or, at minimum, be...
