Staff wasnāt very welcoming on my most recent visit. It wasnāt busy at the time and I know the gal at the counter was both making and ringing up drinks (with 1-2 others in back for food, I think). A bit disappointing to feel like youāre an inconvenience or not appreciated as a customer after driving 20 minutes to enjoy a coffee flight. I had to go up to the counter to ask for the pastry i paid for and was given it on a plate with no silverware to eat it (one of the mini cakes) but didnāt feel like ābotheringā employees, fearing an eye roll if I would :( Charcuterie boxes werenāt in that morning, the other true bummer. Not sure if theyāre being served anymore but wonāt go out of my way to travel that far for a relaxing āmeā morning again. Staff was also a bit gossipy about a former employee or someone they knew so we could all hear. Yikes. Guy at the table next to me said he felt a tense vibe in there and didnāt stay very long, despite bringing his laptop. As a former barista, I loved what I did and making someoneās day with such small gestures like smiling and making them feel welcomed. Fall flight was also very watery that day. Not sure what was going on but Iād been waiting weeks to return and not really enjoying the experience. Iād rather travel over to the Arts District coffee shops than down here again any time soon, despite my love of supporting female-owned businesses. Hope this is taken to heart as coffee shops have the opportunity to make someoneās entire day just by being...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreLet me start off by saying we used to come here regularly, but Iām not sure whatās going on or if thereās just an overall lack of care or apathy across the board, but thereās no sense or urgency from any employee anymore⦠waiting over 7 mins for one person to take the order of the customer in front of me? I get youāre making niche drinks, but no customer should stand for over 5 mins without their order being taken when itās not swamped. Iād there was a giant line and every table was full I could understand but come on⦠twice now Iāve come here and itās like pulling teeth to get any sort of urgency from the employees, mixing drinks like theyāre at home and taking their time, chatting, moving slowly, does no one care about the work they do anymore? Normally I donāt write reviews for something so trivial but for it to happen twice now, itās just a pattern at this point and speaks to the training of the employees.
Theres hundreds of coffee shops, and this one has amazing drinks, but unless you go in when itās dead and thereās no one there, youāre going to have to put aside 20 mins⦠for a simple drink is just ridiculous. Hopefully they figure things out because itās been a slow starts decline in service.
We went at 11:10 am on 11/9⦠so to the two blond girls who were moving like molasses and spending 10 mins on 2 matcha drinks⦠Iāve never seen anyone stare and analyze so intently on one drink before.
Donāt think we will be coming here anymore; which sucks cause the...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreIf you are expecting a fast coffee morning experience donāt come hereā¦we waited in line for two coffees for 15 minutes only to wait 30 minutes longer for the coffee to get to us. Overall time waiting for two coffees was an hour. Their focus are coffee flights, which sounds like a good idea except that they prioritize them over everything else. A toasted bagel would have added 15 minutes to our wait time. Good idea poorly executed.
**Unfortunately we traveled from out of state for a work meeting and saw that your shop was trending. Despite being completely out of our way we were excited for the coffee flights and great reviews we were seeing- (However I guess you can sell out of coffee flights)? Would love to say I could give it a second chance but it was not the best situation for a tourist town. No one counts on going viral overnight and I get that, but I wish that ya'll were more prepared for that influx. I wish the best for you and your...
