I really wanted to like this place because it's a 5 minute walk from my house and I like coffee.
I had a pour experience. I felt completely out of place here and I got that look from the barista the, "You sure you're in the right place "look. :( that can really hurt a girls feeling.
The barista dropped the espresso tamper on the ground and then used it to make my coffee with. Now I am not a germ-a-phobe by any stretch of the imagination but I do believe that a customer should be treated with dignity and some common courtesy, anyone, anyone???
My boyfriend and I dined here together right before we left on vacation. When we got to Buena Vista Coffee there was only one other patron in the coffee shop and only one other person came into the be served while we were there for 20 minutes.
I always like to dine at a near empty establishment, because I reason that if it's not too busy or crowded the server, cook, barista what have you can focus on doing a good job and not feel rushed.
Well the opposite was true for my visit to Buena Vista Coffee even though the coffee shop was completely empty the barista treated it as if there were a line of 30 customers behind me. Nothing necessarily being impatient but completely detached in that hipster sort of way. That if you're not a hipster can be pretty bleeping annoying.
This is me ranting!!!
First by dropping the instrument where the espresso beans are tamped and then by serving me a breakfast sandwich that was barely luke warm with a cold piece of unmelted cheese on it. I am beyond the point of desperation for a decent coffee house. I am so utterly desperate to have a solid coffee establishment close to home
Buena Vista's coffee only saving grace was the cappuccino. It didn't taste like dirty coffee shop floor lol but the foam was thick and velvety and the coffee was so so.
