Subculture Coffee — Restaurant in Delray Beach

My experience was a disaster. It began at 9:50 on a weekday, the line of customers is out the door, service is slow, and everything is piled up. We ordered food and coffee, and instead of actually telling us what they had made the barristas just placed completed orders in the window. Frustrated customers were just taking whatever was made in a frenzy after waiting so long. We eventually took something that looked like what we ordered. I'm pretty sure my coffee order is incorrect, but I don't want to brave that line to get it fixed. The food was good though. I had the deluxe breakfast sandwich, my wife the fruit, yogurt, and granola. The fruit we didn't order, but I think they threw it in when after having to remake it when someone took our first order. We are unable to remove the dishes from our table because the stand to collect dirty dishes is stacked up like a Jenga game. This is our third attempt at this cafe, and likely our last. They were 2 of 3, with the only good experience being an in-and-out to-go order in the...

Really disappointed in my experience today. I come here when I’m in Florida as I now live abroad. I own and operate a Specialty Coffeehouse myself so it’s very upsetting to even write about today’s experience.

My dad ordered the Deluxe Breakfast Sandwich as did I. He is a vegetarian so I asked to put the bacon he paid for that comes on the sandwich on to my sandwich. The cashier / barista very pleasantly says sure ok no problem.

When I am called to pick up my order the cook tells me with an attitude you can’t put “extra bacon” on the sandwich, this is a twenty dollar sandwich! (On the menu the sandwich is sold at $9). I say, no my dad ordered the same sandwich so I’m just getting what he paid for. He keeps talking over me, very begrudgingly and clearly annoyed, no that’s extra.

Before leaving my dad spoke with I assume the manager, she was like yea it’s a cost issue ... very cold ... very disinterested.

The coffee is good, but there are other Specialty Coffee options. The experience just...

So disappointed! I pretty much revolved my whole day around being able to go into a coffee shop and get some work done while I sipped some delicious coffee and maybe noshed on a salad or sammy. Welp - after going to 2 other coffee shops in Delray only to be told - NO FOOD - (for various and sundry reasons!) I googled other coffee shops near me and came upon Subculture Coffee that advertised "late-night food." Yay! Welp - nope. Denied! Imagine my disappointment to hear that the "kitchen closes at 5!' I would have been there earlier but - see above and the strike outs there! I figured this would be a safe bet since that's the advertisement, not to mention it doesn't say that anywhere on their website. So instead of a late lunch, I'd have an early dinner. Deeee-nied! The staff was nice enough but it just wasn't what I wanted to do. So - no work, no food, no coffee. Totally wasted,...
