There is no Espresso Royale in Champaign-Urbana that has the same calibre of rude, pretentious employees as this place does. My experiences vary but include:
* receiving a mocha that tasted nothing like a mocha by any stretch of the imagination and then being told that I do not know about coffee
* baristas just not making eye contact or saying "can I help you?" which gives them the opportunity to seem REALLY inconvenienced when it is unclear if you should walk up to the register
* getting yelled at by an employee when I asked him not to throw a cigarette butt near me because it made me sick
* AND MUCH MORE!
Sometimes on the way to class I want a latte, though, so I keep coming.
