| - I'm sitting in Algebra as I write this review. I really want to rate it higher, but this is the second time they've forgotten my order! I put it in at 8:00, it's now 8:45...And there are two girls working (usually there's just one person), and it's not crowded, so there's really no excuse here. My advice would be to make sure you see whoever is taking your order write it down. If you don't see them write it down, you won't be getting anything. Currently one girl is texting on her phone and the other is letting a customer sample lots of things on the menu. I really wish the customer service was better here! I shouldn't have to remind somebody to make the food I ordered, and I don't plan on doing so.
Atmosphere is unique, you're either going to like it or hate it. All the furniture/mugs/everything is handmade by the owner, which is cool. The furniture is definitely not going to be comfortable for tall people but it's good for studying, a unique date, or just meeting up with a friend. The food is good most of the time, but things change depending on who is making it. My two favorite things on the menu are the Fool Madams and the lentil soup. They both fall into the comfort food category but are healthy, which isn't a combination that is easy to find elsewhere.
The coffee is generally weak, except for the Palestinian-style one with cardamom, that one is usually great. All in all, food is good, service sucks, atmosphere is either going to be your thing or it isn't.
Edit: I spoke too soon! No, they didn't suddenly remember my food. Instead, when I walked up to pay, the girl behind the counter looked me in the eye, then looked back down at her phone to finish a text. AND I realized that she is training the other girl. This girl is not fit to be training anybody! I really hope the owner reads this. It gets better: when I went to pay for the things I did receive, I reminded her of what she had forgotten and then she proceeded to ring me up for everything anyway... Crazy.
