I asked for Spanish Late and lemonade. I literally spelled every letter in my name yet the cashier wrote it wrong and when I said that’s not my name, she skipped me and went to the next person. The window lady who gave me the coffee was too irritated to say my name. When I stepped forward and asked if this was my order she just node with her head implying yes😆 I said I was just making sure this is for my name. She ignored that and kept going. The real feel temp was around 95 degrees. They filled the lemonade with ice cubes that melted within seconds. The two lemonades tasted like water. I went back to the window and complained and asked to not sell this lemonade to people. Behind the window, there was another person who surprisingly was able to speak comparing to the previous two servants. He said this is how we mix our lemonade and we can replace them our refund you. Even when my intention was to emphasize that this shouldn’t be sold as is. I was expecting someone to hear me why it should not be diluted with so much water and ice cubes. Then I was refunded. I looked at the cashier and I see her nodded her head stating her dissatisfaction with...

The Kyoto Latte was wonderful, 5 stars. But the customer service from one of the baristas was truly awful, -5 stars.

Today is 1/2/2025. There were two baristas (a male and a female) at the time I got there after 10am, which is the time they open. The male barista seemed like he didn't want to be there at all. No smile, no greet, nothing. That's not very customer service-like. It's as if I was bothering him when I greeted him with a friendly hello. I am writing this review because this is not the first time this has happened. (The other time was another male barista too).

%Arabica is a Japanese coffee brand. Japanese business/company = excellent service. And what an employee shows is a reflection of the company's reputation and image. But with what I experienced earlier today, I am disappointed that this location did not live up to the expectation. I've been to at least 5 other locations outside the US and I've never encountered such substandard customer service.

The female barista was wonderful. The Kyoto Latte she made was such a delight. But even though I enjoyed my coffee, the unpleasant experience with the male barista left a bad taste...
