LACKAWANNA COFFEE — Restaurant in Jersey City

I had a terrible and scary experience at this place. There was a customer who seemed to be a regular (chatting non-stop with counter staff). She stopped chatting and went to sit in the patio. As I passed by her to sit further back in the patio she deliberately coughed in my direction, and again into the air before she left and said: “I hope you catch my disease”. Even if it was outside, I am 60 years old and do not want to be at the mercy of a hostile/dangerous customer at a place I choose as a business. When I asked to speak with the manager, all the manager did was yell from behind the counter: “BUSY!!!”. I had no idea that the busy person making coffee was the manager until I was told so, and I would have patiently waited if she had said “I will be with you as soon as I’m done” or something to that effect. Yelling “BUSY” to a customer who has a grievance is not the way I want to be treated by an establishment I have given preference to during a pandemic. There are many businesses who respect their customers that I choose to patronize, and Lackawanna Coffee is definitely no longer included among them, since I will not touch that place with a 6 foot pole. There are all kinds of people everywhere but I do expect the manager to address the issue or at least listen to what I have to say when I feel threatened or mistreated in their establishment. I do not feel safe nor welcome going to this business, since this woman seems to be a regular there and the manager doesn’t care and gives you a rude reply when you try to tell her. There are many other cafes in the neighborhood...

I was visiting Jersey city from LA. Coffee was very good. However, the atmosphere and service we received was terrible. On a Wednesday morning at 10am, my gf and I walked in with great energy to get a nice coffee. The girl at the register did not raise her eyes up to us ONCE. Was on her phone while we were trying to order. Barely said a word back. Asked me if I wanted small or large. To which I replied “is any of those a 12oz?”. Literally just kept an annoying face and did not reply at all.

As I was waiting for my coffee I realized my gf had gotten her latte iced, so I talked to the barista just, out of courtesy, to tell him “I don’t think I mentioned it at the register, but I’d like my latte hot, I know my girl had a cold drink.” To which the barista, also in a weird mood, just quickly replied “yeah, yeah coming out”. I’m sorry but what kind of service is that? The energy in the place was terrible. I would never go back to get...
