Cafe Opla — Restaurant in Seattle

My family and I were impressed with the menu and really wanted to try the food. We arrive with 2 parties ahead of us, also waiting to be seated. The hostess/waitress/barista (already not looking good) seated us and took the orders for the 2 parties ahead of us but people kept walking in because the way they set up is people with to go orders need to go to the front.

My husband went up to ask if we should order directly instead, because she took 4 parties orders before us - so we were already waiting 15 minutes to even take our orders. She said no and it wouldn't be long. Then 2 more parties showed up and she took their orders ahead of us, AGAIN. Then the food for one of the parties were ready and she served them and went back to the counter, took a phone order. Then she took ANOTHER party's order again.

My husband went up AGAIN to ask if we could order to go, and the hostess/waitress/barista said it was going to be another 5-10 minutes to TAKE our order. By this time, we were fed up with waiting for at least ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and customer service that our orders were going to be taken. I also have to add, she told a party of 2 to move to the next table, which is unusual, but also I have to add, me and my husband and that party of 2 were people of color. The hostess/waitress/barista was catering to everyone else who were NOT people of color....just our family and that party of 2.

Our family left, we were tired of waiting and being overlooked. This restaurant/cafe needs better service and ways of taking orders. I can't imagine lunchtime where it would be chaos with the way that they treat people coming in, the order that...

Went here before we were going to embark on a cruise order a dish and asked for no eggs on it due to an allergy. ( The eggs were a layer to it so simple just don't add the eggs) When the dish came out there was egg. We informed the server they apologized and took the dish back. Things happen we weren't upset or rude just simply said that I had asked for no egg due to an allergy. A minute or two later another staff worker can out and started very aggressively talking with us. "You know this dish is supposed to have eggs right, why would you order it if you have an allergy. Did the server read you back the order" The resturant was busy at the time so we weren't 100% sure because it was loud we had a couple other dishes with changes and those all came out fine. Then she said" What you want to do get a refund or make us do it again it'll take 20 mins" We weren't in a rush so we asked for it again. She said OK and would put it in a to go dish for us. Then came back 3 mins later with the food in a Togo box and said they were able to do it quickly. We thanked her finished our meal and left. The allergy cause gastrointestinal issues so it wasn't until about an hour later that we realized they did not recook it just simply scrapped off the egg put it in a Togo box and gave it back to us. I recommend not going here they are...

I am the body. The body is I. Conformation invited into the body and I. The self. Light becomes brewed anew and I am seeing it.

I walk into the Cafe Opla. A barista greets me, asking what I would like to drink.

"Please, your parmesian egg. I'd imagine eating the parm-egg"

They call the order and I sit inside the cafe. I am who I am. I am who it is that is I. The language, is new to me. The barista is not new. The barista is what is known as professional. The service by a professional is ideal. I order an espresso latte as well as my egg.

When the barista performs the action, and produces the espresso, it is ideal too, as any professional would produce. A leaf adorns the top, in the shape of foamed milk.

They tell me the leaf art was not extra. They perform that service for joy only. It is beautiful.

The parmesian egg returns to me, it is cooked, and the fried egg is coated in parmesan. It creates sensation in my body like I have seen before but not together. Altogether it is new.

I perfer to be as I am now. My bed is full. There is a transparency to light of the windows and walls which is incredible. Thank you for serving me in...
