Thought I would support a local business today for lunch and decided on Duboce Park Cafe as it looked inviting. I ordered the Turkey, Bacon and Swiss and the Beet Smoothie, which totaled somewhere around $26.00 and a half dollars because I tipped. I regret the tip as I noticed the server delivering a patron's coffee next to me and then yelling my name to pick up my drink at the counter. The drinks were ready simultaneously, but there was obviously preferential treatment for the gym bunny. When my sandwich was ready, he slung it over the counter and stretched his arm to the table I was sitting at. The glances from fellow patrons was enough to embarrass me and I told the server/counter person exactly how I felt and walked out. The server was Hispanic male somewhat tall with curly hair with obvious biases.
In terms of the food, the sandwich was dry and did not have the swiss cheese and the beat smoothie for $7.95 was served warm and was 8oz instead of the 12oz stated on the menu. At this price, I think I could have done much better at Whole Foods and avoided the embarrassment.
NOW THE OWNER WANTS TO QUESTION WHETHER I WAS THERE, DO I NEED TO LOCATE THE RECEIPT ON MY CREDIT CARD.? THE COUNTER PERSON WAS THE YOUNG MUSCLE GUY WITH DARK HAIR AND COMPLEXION (LATINO?) AND THERE WAS ALSO A FEMALE WORKING THE COUNTER WHO I DID NOT INTREACT WITH. WHY NOT OWN YOUR SHIZZ AND ASK FOR MY NUMBER OR CONTACT ME.? I CAN PROVIDE PROOF OF MY VISIT.. DO NOT ADD INSULT TO INJURY BY CALLING ME A LIAR. THIS IS NO WAY TO OPERATE A BUSINESS, THERE IS SERIOUSLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH PEOPLE THESE DAYS. GO TO WHOLE FOODS DOWN THE STREET, THE SANDWHICH WILL BE BETTER. LASTLY, I AM NOT YOUR NEIGHBOR AND YOU SHOULD FOLLOW YOUR OWN ADVICE AND "WORK IT OUT,"...
Read moreI like to leave more in-depth reviews once I've been a regular for awhile - as that's the only way for me to truly evaluate a service/restaurant and give my honest opinion. Consistency is key! What a charming cafe! This place is like a breath of fresh air - it's a excellent atmosphere. The food is a little expensive, but a nice treat as it's always yummy. I've never been disappointed with quality or customer service. I come here early in the morning on the weekends (to avoid the crowds) and am able to get a lot of homework done. I also love dogs, a lot (no.. seriously. a lot you do not understand.) But am not in a place in my life where I can have my own furry friend. Another major motivation for coming here is that you're BOUND to meet someone's nice furry companion. One of my favorite things to do is sit outside and sip at a coffee while in awe at all the wonderful fur babies with their humans walking by. If you wish for it enough and your heart is pure (or, you know, just ask the human, nicely!!) they'll even let you say hi and give them a few pets. Someone let me give their beautiful golden a treat once after asking her to sit. 😍😍 And finally.. my opinion still stands, they have the best cold brew within a walking distance from my house. Keep it up! I moved into the neighborhood 9 months ago and you got yourself a...
