| - Probably one of the worst places I have walked into for a drink, and a place to rest on a long day of walking. Why you might ask, well, let me count the ways:
1) Everything they make, must contain milk. I don't drink coffee typically, and they had a list of several teas, so I got a little excited, and asked for a london fog. I asked if it had milk, and instead of saying "well, we can make it with or without milk," I was informed that everything MUST have milk. So i didn't order anything for myself.
2) My girlfriend wanted a small strawberry belini. Contrary to the fact that the sign has the item, and then lists three sizes, the barista charged me for a large. When I protested he said, there's only one size of that. So...tell me coffee place...why do you list three sizes if you only sell one size?
3) Their flipping stupid "discount card." They are ridiculously aggressive with this thing. It makes sense, after it is all said and done though...the only way to get someone to come back here is to have them already have spent 40 bucks with you, that they need to get rid of.
4) It is now the year 2011...almost every place in the city offers free wi-fi, and coffee shops led the charge. In order to use the wifi here, however, you have to have invested at least 20 dollars with them. Now I can only imagine that they got the idea from Starbucks...where you had to register a 5 dollar gift card, which you could easily spend on your first, and perhaps only visit there, and then have access thenceforth, but they did away with that. Why? It pissed people off, and their competition didn't require it.
5) The service was pretty abysmal. To start with, there was only one guy there, which probably led to his awful attitude. I've already mentioned the pushiness with regards to their card, so I won't harp on that, but I will use one conversation that happened immediately after my ordering:
Customer (C): I'd like this drink, I have a discount card, but I don't know how much is on it. Whatever isn't on it, I will pay with cash for.
Barista (B): (Takes card, swipes it, card only had 50 cents on it, sounds annoyed): Here is your card, you have to fill it today.
(C): (Repeats herself) I will pay cash for the rest.
(B): (Grumbles, accepts her cash, and when giving change literally throws the change across the counter).
To finish off on the service I have the following to say: If he had been working at Starbucks...he would have been fired on the spot.
If I could give this place a negative 1 star, I would do so, unfortunately I have to give them a star because that's the minimum this cesspool could be awarded.
