Chill Cawfee — Restaurant in Florida

Please be informed that the aesthetic appeal of the establishment's outdoor space, designed to evoke the tranquility of a park, belies the less welcoming experience encountered. The proprietor's interaction with me was notably unfriendly, and it's unclear whether his demeanor was influenced by an off day, which anyone can experience. My visit occurred yesterday, following a previous engagement with the establishment, attracted by its inviting backyard setting complete with leisure amenities such as a seesaw, benches, and tables, some of which apparently was told all was to be designated for employee use only.

The manner in which I was addressed suggested a possible misunderstanding or discrimination. With a facial tattoo and adorned in a 1970s leather jacket, my appearance may have diverged from typical expectations. Despite this, my intention was merely to enjoy the serene environment offered by the establishment. Regrettably, without inquiring about my patronage that day or previously, the owner requested that I leave the premises. This action was deeply disheartening, especially considering my visit was motivated by a desire for solace amidst personal turmoil related to my son's abduction.

This experience compels me to seek tranquility elsewhere on my morning walks, a decision made with a heavy heart. The establishment's outdoor area, while aesthetically pleasing, may not align with the inclusivity one would expect from such a community space. It is a reminder that appearances should not preclude the enjoyment of public amenities. Unfortunately, this incident has dissuaded me...

This was a five star review, that review was largely based on the people there, but some of those people have lost that rating. They know why the rating has been changed, but I am an adult so I don't feel the need to throw their names out in public to make myself feel better like they do. In the immortal words of Miss Dolly Parton "when someone shows you their true colors, believe them."

Taking a more sober view of the place it is clear this store is trying to be many things, and failing at most. There is better coffee with more options right around the corner, better krat at many places in the area - even crushed leaf that is more potent with less stems, a larger selection of smoke shop items at any other smoke shop in the county, and better CBD at the specialty stores - and in most cases you will find lower prices at these other shops. Take away the people and there really is no reason to go here, especially if you are looking for a particular product.

The one area they are succeeding is being a community hub - a place for education as well as fun. Many of their event offerings are appealing, fun, and informative.

I am giving 1 star for the products as they are edible and not awful, 1 star for services because their events are really good.

Other than the events (now that the people are out of the picture) I can't think of a single reason to specifically enter this store. My urge to shop here was to see my friends that work there, now that I have seen with my own eyes that they are not friends there is no strong appeal to continue sacrificing quality for the sake of...

This was my favorite store in the whole wide world, but then I caught them lying and now I can't bring myself to go in there at all.

I used to sing their praises to everyone I met. Songs that have gone silent given I can only recommend those I can trust.

I know my concern over returning or promoting won't impact them in the grand scheme of things, I just pray this isn't their standard business practice or it will cost them lots of customers over a long period.

Honest-tea is the best policy.

Edit: the owners response indicates that 1) they don't know who they are talking to, and 2) that they would have another customer's name and a story at the ready when charged with lying to me says A LOT about their business ethic....

Edit two: so reading through this, the person they accused me of being wrote a gleaming review about them not that long ago. I don't care about their parking situation, but I do care when products are misrepresented. I was repeatedly reassured there was no dairy in my latte this morning and then spent all day in the bathroom. If you guy are lying to people about parking you're even worse than I thought, that's not possibly accidental and it is really petty of you.

Oh, and this "fake account" created to target you goes all the way back to the 2010's, so try...
