| - A few more days before the end of the Indie Cafe Passport, I've made a stop by this cafe in the plateau.
Good : the latte art is done pretty well. The decor is cute with a bunch of lanterns hanging over the tables with a welcoming atmosphere. However, that welcoming atmosphere ends as soon as you hit the counter to order your drink.
Bad: *sigh* I did enjoy my first trip to this cafe with my sister, but when I went back today, I received a very cold service. I ordered a cup of tea to go, and I've asked for a bit of ice in it (I'm not patient, I want to sip right away so i need my tea to be "drinkable" hot ). She responded by saying they don't have ice. Fine, I've asked for a bit cold water to dilute the hot water. She tells me she can't. Huh? I told her it's too hot, I can't drink this. In her most condescending voice, she tells me that I have to wait 3 minutes to steep the tea and then I can drink it (as in I can't decide what goes in my tea, but my tea decides when I can drink it?). Already this attitude was irritating for me, but whatever. I picked up my tea cup (to go) & realized it's so ridiculously hot, I can't even hold it. I turn around and asked if I can get a sleeve or another cup to put over it. She looks at me hesitantly as if I really inconvenienced her and gives me a few napkins to wrap around. Maybe if she added some cold water as I've requested, it wouldn't be so damn hot and I wouldn't have to ask for a cup. I've already felt irritated leaving the cafe with my cup of liquid devil, but when I spilt tea on my hand and it burned me, I've completely lost it. I don't ever want a barista to convince me of how I want my drinks again.
Bottom line: after that crappy service, I will probably come back once every never.
