| - I initially came here because I was looking for an alternative to Starbucks, since I am no longer a fan of their teas. To my pleasant surprise, Cafe Bernate serves Organic Mighty Leaf tea. The first time I went the woman behind the cash was nice and even offered to steam my milk for me (did I pay for this? I hope not). I also got one of their freshly baked cookies. The second time I came I ordered the same tea but just received a plain black tea bag (looked like Tetley). When I mentioned that last time I got Mightly Leaf, I was told that they were out of it. Why was I not informed? I said that I come specifically for this tea because I am particular about my tea and asked for another flavour in Mighty Leaf. Not sure why this wasn't offered to me, since the Tetley wasn't Early Grey anyway, and they had plain black in Mighty Leaf. I also don't think that an organic and generic brand should cost the same. I felt like I received a little bit of attitude from the same woman who served me the first time. I also think small, customary apology should have been issued.
I have been back twice since. Once, for coffee. It was decent. Today, I came for lunch. I got a chicken/avocado/brie sandwich. It was alright. I think that for $9 it should have come with some veggies or coleslaw or something. I also got their Carrot/Ricotta soup which was exquisite. I also tasted their Leek & Potato soup, which was also very good. I definitely recommend the soups. The male serving me today was fine, but I still sense an underlying hint of snottiness (nothing major, but palatable to me, nonetheless). I would still return.
