We wanted to love this place, but there was problem after problem. Highlights: they got my drink order wrong—I ordered a hot latte but got iced—but I accepted it anyway. The one thing they do get right is the coffee—the beans are delicious. The table we sat at first was so wobbly that our belongings jiggled off the table when we cut our pastries, which was a real feat since they seemed several days old, and after spending way too long in the oven warming up, were so dry we literally couldn't eat them.
