Fair Grounds Coffee Cafe

Poor and rude staff, I, a female minor was assaulted by one of their regulars (who was a grown man). The environment made me feel very unsafe and they were very hostile towards us. We simply went to study and my male friend and I (which we are both minorities and darker skinned than our other two friends whom we went with, who are lighter skinned) were wrongfully accused of stealing a (what we assume to be a little stuffed plush that belongs to a larger plush) that we did not know even existed or looked like. While waiting for our friends food, we read a sign stating we could take a plush/toy, so long as we put it back after we were done. Three of four of us grabbed one, a man told us to put them back shorty after, so we did. The same man came to our table multiple times, threatening my male friend to just “take it out because I know you have it”. Please note that my male friend had never made any contact with the said item that was allegedly stolen by one of us, it was our other friend(who is of a lighter skin color) , the owner was called, and he kicked us out, we had asked if he checked security, and he said he was only going by what his employees said. We offered to call the cops yet he did not want to. My (one of two females)friend and I went back in to take photos of the security cameras and the sign. When we entered the establishment again, the sign was no longer there and the same man from earlier kept asking me what sign I was talking about and that it didn’t exist. While that was happening, one of their regulars, who is a grown man, attempted to take my phone away from me. A female then came and talked to me and said that there indeed was a sign, but that they took it to the back. After getting the needed pictures we left. Overall very poor experience, we expected much better, although we are banned, I can assure you we would have never returned on our own accord anyways. If I could give 0 stars, I would. The incompetence of the staff and the owner is truly remarkable, absurd accusations were made without an ounce of proof or any real foundation for a solid argument. My friend and I were both racially discriminated for absolutely no reason and they allowed one of their regulars to assault me. Truly a disappointment, and I would not recommend to anyone.
