aftermarket — Restaurant in Phoenix

While biking around grand ave I decided to stop by for a coffee at this trendy brutalist themed coffee shop that I had seen countless times on Instagram. The barista was very kind and helped me decide what to get. I decided on a lumio. It is a tad on the sweeter side, and on the lighter side. They’ve got lots of art for sale; this dumpster candle caught my eye. The decor feels a bit too try hard for my liking. The baristas were friendly and definitely added to making this a great experience. This would be a five star experience with a lower price and if the coffee was maybe half as sweet. I also find the justified text box label to be a bit overdone in...

A few weeks later (today) I decided to go back and give it another go, 40 min… again, I cannot justify their coffee to be good enough to ever wait this long, nor was there a line when I walked in. I am having a hard time understanding why the Barista takes so long.. I overheard another gentleman request a refund, reasonably so for how long it took for one coffee.

I’m not sure if we’ll try again, but I hope this...
