T-Bar — Restaurant in Crested Butte

Walked in on a Sunday to try this place for the first time. My first impression? These baristas are young. My second impression? They're kicking butt with the Sundays rush. They weren't able to take my order for a couple of minutes because they were trying to catch up with orders behind the counter. They were so sweet and friendly that I had no issue waiting. The gal took my order, and I stepped to the side to wait. This is where I was blown away by the horrible atmosphere. An older lady, I'm assuming, was the owner/manager? She comes from the back room and is almost inspecting what the girls are doing and how they are doing it. The immediately starts getting after one of the girls for how she was using the espresso machine. Everyone in the shop heard her because of how loud and condescending she was. After the interaction, she went back into the backroom. Fast forward to meeting up with my husband, I was telling him about the interaction, and he proceeded to tell me a couple standing next to him just experienced the same issue in this coffee shop. In their case, the man spoke up to the older lady because of how nasty she was being. This was an ugly enough interaction. I don't think I'll be visiting this...

I ordered the Jasmine Milk Tea with Brown Sugar boba. Took the girl less than 60 seconds and she hands me my drink, definitely too quick to be anything of decent quality. I ended up going back because it wasn’t made right (gave me a juice filled fruit boba that was downright foul). Another 40 or so seconds later I have a new drink free of charge (hence the single star), and the tea tasted okay ish.. like a mediocre store bought premix.. and the brown sugar boba… beyond disappointing.. i would call it inedible. I spit every boba out my car window. It wasnt an enjoyable chewy boba like you imagine when you hear “boba,” no it was more like a dense gummy texture (think gummy worm or bear) flavored with something gross/rancid, definitely no hint of brown sugar. I was sick to my stomach for 2 days following my trip to T-Bar in Crested Butte. Would not recommend, and wont be wasting money...

I came here two weekends in a row and both times the baristas were super rude and unhelpful. It’s almost like they enjoy yelling at people all day. They have one small faded sign that is barely legible stating their new policy which is that only related groups can be inside at a time. When it was finally my turn to enter I heard the two of them complaining about customers. Seriously unprofessional and off putting. I also overheard other people outside complaining about their poor customer service while waiting for drinks. I know there is a pandemic and we are all trying to be safe and healthy, but that’s no excuse for the attitudes. Not to mention that it took 40 minutes to get a drink when the line was 4-5 people waiting...
