Once you walk into The Gallery you think you're in a movie set. The environment is clean and romantic, heavenly and delicate. White bricks surround you and bright furnitures await your presence. Not only was the environment drawing, but the fact that this shop was serving Stumptown coffee pulled me straight through the doors.
But this is where my expectations are slapped in the face, mocked, and abandoned. I was greeted by an unkind lady who did not want to be there. She kept yelling at the barista and was not friendly at taking orders. After ordering, it took us at least ten minutes to receive our drink orders and we were the only people ordering at the time. As a barista, I was always taught never to leave drinks waiting, especially milk based drinks.
The cappuccino that I ordered was too dry with about an inch and a half foam at the top. The drink was about 60-70 degrees and the espresso did a great job at hiding beneath the tormented milk.
Maybe The Gallery is known for their desserts and wine and their fancy canvases. Maybe they just need more time and experience. Hopefully, I can come back someday and update this review.
