I visited this coffee bar with a friend yesterday (03/24/2024) in the afternoon and had a very bad experience. I ordered 2 regular brewed coffees with cream and sugar. They will add cream and sugar, so I requested them to make sure that the coffee remains hot. After 20 minutes of waiting in the dining room, I went to check on my order. There were no workers at the counter - I could see customers waiting at the drive-through window unattended. I waited at the counter for several minutes and one of the workers came out. I asked about my coffee orders and was told that they will make the coffees immediately. I went back to the table and after a couple of minutes my two coffees are placed on the counter.

Visited on Thursday only to find out that they no longer served it, so I left and went to Laredo Taco instead. Went this morning to give one of the items a shot. I got the chorizo sandwich and I wish I hadn't ordered it. The bread was dry, the chorizo was spicy, and the overall item tasted off. If the item was spicy, it should have been stated in the menu since some of us encounter digestive issues when consuming spice, myself included. Additionally, It reminds me of the food that starbucks serves in which that it tastes off and unapetizing. I should have stuck to Laredo Taco instead. Despite coming here frequenlty the past few months, after this I will not...
