I originally wanted some to go coffee bean and pastry but when I got there, there wasn't much pastry left. So I asked for to go whole bean coffee and the staff told me they do sell coffee bean, $22 for 200g. It's pretty expensive but since I'm here, why not. She then go and grab a zipper bag, yes, a zipper bag, and proceed with filling it up with the coffee bean they use. For sure, I am getting what they are serving. I was a bit in shock when she hand me the zipper bag and when I paid $22. The girl was also very nice the whole time, and we were both kind of laughing when I checked out.
Fast forward to the next day, not really have high expectations, I ground the coffee bean and brewed myself a cup. Wow.... just wow... the coffee was super delicious. It is the kind I like, the one with a very special fragrant flavor that I cannot describe. It's "fruity" but not sour or acidic at all, with a hint of earthiness. The last time I had a coffee like this was a single source coffee bean from Ethiopia.

Just to be sure, it has half coffee and half steamed milk? And the person said “Yeah” really rudely as if it was bad of me to ask. And the “Will there be anything else”, rudely, and repeated it again with an even meaner tone. So I told the cashier that I would not be making a purchase because of the rudeness, and that they were being a jerk. Then I took a photo to show their manager who it was and left.
I will never go back, even if they fire the staff. No one like that should be working in customer service and I can only imagine the toxic culture of Artifact 301 / Studio Bake Shoppe to let this happen.
I’m still in shock over how rude this person was, and from the beginning after me bing so polite, as if they had some grudge against me somehow. I would love to hear an explanation and an apology but I won’t...

Pastries are fresh and delicious. Coffee is great. The shop and atmosphere itself are definitely the highlights. Absolutely beautiful. You'll never find a coffee shop that looks like this. The owner of the shop who works behind the counter is extremely kind and generous.
