Pennylane Coffee — Restaurant in New York

Me and my partner (2 black women) walked in and the Asian man who was working behind the counter was having a personal conversation with a customer. Instead of helping us he continued his conversation with the customer and ignored us. We are customers too. We just stood there until finally a latino man came out and took our order.

Away from the miserable early cold of the year, I cherish this sense of calmness amid intermate conversation and the ceaseless traffic, which is a rare gem, anywhere you go.
