I've really had to ponder on posting this review here because I feel like it needs to be addressed but I wasn't sure how to in the beginning. back in August I applied for a position at the shop and was brought in for an interview. I had arrived about 10 minutes early and saw that the interview that was scheduled before me was still being conducted. the hiring manager was very thorough with them - walking them around the store, giving them the rundown of everything, so much so that it even bled into my interview time by roughly 10 minutes. then it was my turn for an interview and I was essentially brought into the back room, was given a rough explanation of how the shop was run and what I'd be doing, and then was asked if I had any questions, which I did, but I had very few lined up so the interview lasted maybe 5 to 7 minutes at most. needless to say I didn't have a very great feeling about that interview and felt like my potential was extremely overlooked because she had made her mind up about hiring the two she interviewed before me before she even began my interview. it would've been a lot less insulting had she just come out of the back room and said "hey, I've already made up my mind, sorry for wasting your time, you can go home" instead of trying to sloppily go through the motions with me. I don't know if the motive fell under discrimination, just an overall lack of interest in me due to how i presented myself, or what it was. overall just extremely unprofessional and I think I dodged a major bullet by essentially getting looked over by the hiring manager. this really hurts because I've loved coming to this spot for the longest time. it's been a safe haven for me and to just feel so blatantly disrespected by one of the main pillars of the shop just puts a bad taste in my mouth that I can't ignore. extremely disappointing. please do better for future potential employees, as they're some of your most...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWhenever me and my friends want to get away from commercial coffee place like Dunking and Starbucks, we come to Crossroads. It has the best atmosphere for early morning chats or working during the midafternoon. I love the decorations and wooded interior of this coffee shop. Crossroads captures the local experience in Waxhaw perfectly. It is refreshing to sit down, sip on a cup of coffee and enjoy the old town vibes. The coffee here is not overpriced for the quality of coffee you are getting. The coffee is a bit strong for my taste, and that is why I don't come often but for this exact reason the coffee shop attracts a lot of customers. Many like the authentic taste of coffee that is lost within chain companies. When you want to get away from working at home this shop is a great place to do work. Every time I come here there are people working on their computers, partaking in business calls and sitting in on meetings. Whether you live in the town of Waxhaw or you are just visiting the Crossroads Coffee House is a local gem that is the best way to start your morning...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreUsed to have a full-bodied coffee. I have ordered lattes and flat whites here, trust me, the ratios are not right at all. The espresso-based coffee drinks are weakā I assume to cut coffee expenses. I asked for a flat white and got lightly tinted steamed milk with incorrect foam, too. No crema at all. The girls working are only interested in make cold drinks and playing on the cell phone. Great environment and location, but, dang, improve the coffee. In Italy a latte is āmilkā but here we have a different standard. Latte: average size consists of two strong espresso shots and steamed milk and a layer of foamed milk Flat White: average size consists of two ristretto shots and less milk and micro foam- Aussie way.
Add some body. I pay enough for coffee, donāt tickle me tastebuds with...
