Cafe Fritz — Restaurant in Four Corners States

I had such a weird, mixed experience here!

Pros: --Gorgeous space, so clean and modern, lots of light, nice clean and big bathroom too! --one of the employees there was so sweet and kind, she noticed my son's reaction when he had the lemonade that was a bit sour and offered to sweeten it up for us! --the coffee and lemonade were great

Cons: --the space is really big but strangely laid out so there are barely any tables to sit at --there is inexplicably a huge room full of garbage and discarded furniture? --they had cleaned the frozen watermelon machine before closing which is a huge pet peeve of mine...wait till closing to do that, we should be able to order any menu item until closing --banana bread was not great and tasted burnt --they close at 2pm on Saturday. Why?! We had to go over to Mountain Fountain when we got kicked out. --there is no clear menu board, only small pieces of paper with the coffee items listed in like size 6 font 😩

Hopefully things will improve here over time. We will try again at least once! I think if they rearranged the space better for tables and maybe locked off the weird garbage room it would be a...

The only food they had to offer was a gluten free oil cake. It was delicious - compliments to the chef - but it wasn't what I wanted, and it cost TEN DOLLARS. One piece of cake was $10!

I ordered a medium chai, which was $4.75... and made me wonder what a small would be. 12oz is the smallest cup I've ever ordered at a coffee shop. (This could be my fault - I just ordered a medium without asking about sizes or checking their price list.)

I tipped the typical $2 and walked away wondering how I just spent almost $18 on a small drink and a piece of cake. Not a...

Really loved this place: great location (parking is small so you either bike or park on street and walk), good coffee, the cinnamon roll was AMAZING, interesting interior design, but I did feel bad for how busy they were with only one barista over the course of 3 hours. I wouldn't recommend coming here if you are using a laptop for multiple hours as I did not see any outlets to use by the tables and had to rely on my battery. Otherwise I'm glad I...
