PERSONAL REFLECTION ✌🏼

My Go To Coffeeshop in San Diego & One of my Favorite Cafes I’ve Ever Been to…

Love & Appreciated this Place so much!

As a Remote Worker, Vegan VanLifer & Dog Dad - This place has been Our Sanctuary 🙏🏼

PERSONAL DESIRES

Wish it wasn’t so close to a Main Street with a lot of Noise & a Loud, Repetitive Crossing Signal (but that’s out of our control)

Also, although there are a few Vegan options, they could be Expanded upon…

I’ve cycled through a few of the same dishes, but have gotten more experimental (combining ingredients to create new dishes) - listed a few below…

ALL IN ALL - This place is Gem.

Upsetting that this place has gone so downhill. I used to love studying/working here. Won’t be back. Walked in and the guy (tall long greasy dirty hair) is working and I got no greeting, no hi, no welcome, no I’ll be with you shortly, nothing. I have worked in customer service many years and this is just immediately rude, but I blew it off, and waited to order. I order my iced espresso which is usually made so great here. I asked for three pumps lavender. I noticed (used to be a barista for many yrs) there was no sweetener. No biggie simple mistake, go back to the counter and kindly asked if the lavender was put in there, it’s a genuine question since I am charged the 75 cents for it. He first looks at me like he saw a ghost, nods at me, in order to pretend it was maybe in there, then turns to the bar while looking over to another staff, smirking and he then aggressively pumps idk at least 6 plus pumps in there. I couldn’t even count how many. He might as well have poured it straight because it was then alllll I could taste all syrup. On top of that, when he handed my drink back he said “ should be better!”

Also. As I was sitting at my table outside I asked nicely if they have some ketchup? Same guy btw, who dropped off my food, just said “yep” while walking away and then just had set it up at the counter.

Thanks for ruining my lunch break! Mind you I didn’t ask for my money back the line got super long, and I didn’t have time, but I did leave a note next to the crap drink that i could not even enjoy. My note said “ think about how you interact with a paying customer.. no the drink is not better, it’s all syrup :/ “ hope he read it. I lost some of my money but importantly he needs to know he SUCKS why are you working in this industry?! and why is this acceptable to hire?!?!

Hope you do better Living Room or keep...

NEW ADDITION OF ONE "NO STUDY" TABLE this made it so much easier to sit down and enjoy a meal THANK YOU living room for starting to address the seating concerns.

The workers, food, and, drinks are amazing!!! Would give 5 stars if not for the constant unwelcoming and standoffish energy from patrons. I've never felt more uncomfortable trying to eat a meal and make conversation in a coffee shop... To the business owners, have you guys considered adding an OPEN SEATING sign anywhere??? Seating inside quickly fills up with tables of 4+ chairs filled by one person plus laptop sprawled out... Even the couches and larger seating areas are more likely than not filled with 1-3 people plus laptops and books. When you come in just to order food and try to find a spot to sit everyone glares at you like your intruding on them. I can feel them praying that I'm not going to sit near them or make noise in their quiet space... When I am so bold as to sit at a large table with one person and 4+ open seats containing a smidgen of space for my plate the "study hall" patrons silently wish me away from the table or act like I've done something wrong by sitting down to eat my meal... Did I miss the memo? Is this a library that serves food? It feels like some may EXPECT this to be a library/ study hall instead of a restaurant/coffee shop... Seating outside is an option, if you don't mind the cigarette smoke... Unfortunately it's not very appetizing for myself. I've had to regularly leave The Living Room to go to other establishments because of the harsh patrons who do not understand open seating or seating themselves respectfully for the business to have the ability to house more customers... Again LOVE the food. LOVE your servers. PLEASE address your seating issues! Your losing...
