| - La Diperie on the West Island is a "cool" and lovely addition to what they've been missing out on. As most of their locations are quite far for West Islanders.
I'm glad and happy for the growing success of La Diperie. As the original owner once told me. We grew mainly because of social media(Mostly Instagram) and our loyal customers.
The location on the West Island has the same tasty flavours and variety as the others. Which is lovely!
However.. The ambiance, cleanliness, and staff is simply quite disappointing.
The floors are dirty, I stepped on many sprinkles, globs of melted ice cream and a good layer of dust.
The ambiance feels far too big and messy. Random things on the counter, again a small layer of dust, poor quality pain and dirty windows.
Arrows out of light blue masking tape on the floor, which are slightly peeling off.
Napkin dispenser almost empty, owner dragging a leaky trash bag across the store.. Yes, they've been open since July 1st, which is only a few days.
Having said all this, details related to organization and cleanliness I think are very important!
The location is around the corner from a poor looking strip mall, hard to find!
Enjoying your ice cream outside becomes a unattractive challenge. Only four very uncomfortable chairs, facing a parking lot.
As for the staff, they are kind and polite. Can't say much more.
Overall, I do hope they succeed within time.
