stopped in here for an emergency espresso this Cafe is in the Fontainebleau hotel. it's kind of like a ice cream parlor mixed with a bakery mixed with kind of has an old school candy shop feeling from the 30s 20s. I was asking one of the baristas where the beans come from and he said that the whole Fontainebleau hotel is under contract with one roastery in Philadelphia. I think it's a good and a bad thing offered in the whole building. I'd like to see some diversity also some differences in roasting darkness medium light. I wouldn't actually allow such a inadequate roast to fully define this roasteries interpretation is a blend for their client the Fontainebleau hotel. until it's a somewhat bland way to communicate such an important request. but on another load I feel like the Fontainebleau hotel didn't really have a choice or preference a good flavor to represent then when it comes to coffee. the shop as well as every other shop in the hotel has a dark roast bean from this place. the espresso machine is a Eversys espresso machine a fully attic espresso machine that offers a built-in grinder just push buttons barely barista intelligence and intuition is needed here my Americano came out burn tasting there was actually a nice grandma on the top when I received it but overall a very bitter experience maybe if I ate a pizza before it would have changed my palate and offered a more unique experience. that's for now it's an underwhelming experience to have right before I go on a skate mission here...
Read moreLocated within the Fontainebleau hotel, this 24-hour café has a lot of good bakery items, gelato, and sandwiches that tastes not bad. Usually this place is pretty packed during the day, but one can easily take everything to the room to enjoy, so lines have been fast.
My favorite item was the strawberry cheese gelato, which had strawberry jam and a creamy taste. The croissant and the smoked salmon sesame bagel were good as well, with the croissant having filling that resembled such found in pineapple buns, along with the exterior crunchy texture, offered a good experience. The bagel came with a good amount of salmon and the smoked salmon was tasty.
The blueberry cinnamon roll was huge and had a good amount of filling inside, and the texture was soft inside as well. However, the outside was dry to the point of having a hard texture which didn't turn out to be enjoyable. The avocado toast had a lot of creative ingredients such as radish, wonton pieces, and so on, and truthfully did not work out well. The flavors for the different ingredients didn't work with each other, so the avocado toast was only an okay experience.
In terms of price, it was affordable in comparison to establishments around the area in the hotel, so one could find solid options to make oneself full, and I would give...
Read moreVERY RACIST BEHAVIOR!!!
Went in to get a tiramisu. This white man with a long ponytail gave us a contemptuous look immediately. Then he asked what we wanted. As soon as we said tiramisu and chocolate cake, he walked away and began tending to a female customer instead. Meanwhile, someone else greeted us, assisted us, packed our cakes, and placed them on the billing counter.
This incompetent ponytail server witnessed all of this, yet still decided to take our packed cakes and attempt to hand them to the female customer he was serving. She was loudly insisting she only wanted a bottle of water, so even we knew she wasn’t there for cakes. She even looked perplexed when this insolent individual tried to pass her our order.
Then, after we paid, he carelessly tossed the packed cakes onto the counter as though he were granting us some kind of favor. True, he didn’t throw them violently, but if you have cameras, you’ll see exactly what he did.
If you’re reading this—you escaped accountability because we came there to celebrate. An abhorrent, prejudiced individual.
However, the tiramisu and chocolate cake was...
