I don't normally do this, but I was caught so off guard that I felt I had to. This morning was my first visit to Brig O'Doon. I ordered online, but had to pay in the store. When I got there, I walked in the door and immediately noticed the lack of COVID measures - multiple employees did not have masks on, and half the people waiting in line did not have masks on. The building was similarly fairly full, which made it hard to keep distance from those that weren't wearing masks. The coffee bar and checkout area had no barrier plastic up. When I was finally able to check out, I was asked to sign a receipt with a pen that had been used by all the people in front of me and was not disinfected. There was no sanitizer available that I could see. Mask argument aside, there seemed to be absolutely no additional preventative measures in place to protect employees or customers.

Please consider additional, easy preventative measures like barrier plastic and sanitizing pens/high...

Simply delightful.
The ceilings of the cafe are high and airy (very important during these pandemic times) and the store has a very well ventilated feel. The bathroom is spotless and comfortable. There is ample outdoor seating and I noticed that additional seating has been created on the side of the building by the bike rack. A beautiful quaint cafe to visit if you want to sit and relax while having a...
