The good: they are open later than most other cafes and coffee shops in the area and they have tables set up for studying (lots of outlets)
The bad: I have yet to find anything on the menu worth the price. All of the food is mediocre at best, I have never enjoyed their coffees, only their energy drinks/flavoured sprite is worth it. They have a selection of baked goods and cheesecake but nothing is that good and it all seems like it was frozen or purchased in mass quantities. Also, they play music at a somewhat loud volume which I do not mind, but whatever service they use to play their music has advertisements. There is nothing more annoying than trying to have a conversation or work on some work and a loud and obnoxious advertisement comes on. Really? Just pay for Spotify premium or something, I am sure they are making enough money to do so.
In conclusion, good place to study in the sense there are a lot of tables and they are open late, but not worth it if you are actually looking for something enjoyable to eat or drink. And they need to fix blaring advertisements over the loudspeakers. It really ruins the...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreLocation, building, atmosphere: What a great, chill place to go for a bite and drink. The atmosphere was top notch. Seating was very comfortable but also super aesthetic. Industrial vibe with a nice shop in the middle. I was worried itād be overly sales pitch-y with Vibrant, but nope just a couple signs urging you to use your Vibrant card for a discount. Great job design team.
Food: We both had the ham, egg, and cheese biscuit sandwich, it was good. Nothing notable, just good. It was served promptly with grapes that were fresh, cold, and refreshing.
Coffee: Sāmores espresso was very tasty and warm on a cold day. We ordered mediums and the cup was barely half full which was disappointing.
Overall: Would recommend to people traveling through as it is close to 74 as it gives a good midwestern feel with a decent view out the front. Warm and cozy, yet wide open so you arenāt feeling like youāre talking over people or over hearing conversations. Things were a bit on the pricey side, but itās hard to judge with how quickly prices are...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreA few months ago, I visited Princess Bingo and won a free treat. They were out of stock that day, so we came back today to finally use it. I also had a free ice cream card I hadnāt redeemed yet.
When I tried to use both, the staff member I spoke to seemed irritated right from the start. I had my three kids with me and simply asked what ice cream flavors were available, and she said, āWe havenāt had ice cream in months,ā in a very dismissive tone. I tried to use the free treat instead, but again, they were out.
I completely understand that items run out or menus changeāthatās totally fair. But the way the situation was handled felt unnecessarily rude and dismissive. A little kindness would have made a big difference, especially with kids in tow.
Unfortunately, I left my tokens behind as they didnāt feel worth holding onto. I had really hoped to enjoy a coffee while my kids had a treat, but the poor customer service left a bad taste. Not sure weāll be back,...
