Ordered a triple Americano. I was impressed by the fact that it only cost $3.05 for a triple. Especially when places like Lux or Lola are $3 for a single. But then I found out why. The triple Americano was served in a 12oz cup and was really weak for being a triple. And while it was hot, it didn't seem as hot as it should have been. I am concluding that either my Americano did not have a triple shot OR there was too much water. I'm leaning toward the former given that even a REAL 12oz triple shot would taste stronger despite the 12oz cup.
On top of this, when I asked the woman at the counter if the drink was mine or not, she had to ask the barista but only after she put her hand all over the cup and even the lid. Who does that?
She was very talkative but casually mentioned that their old barista was fired, yes fired. I did not inquire about the old barista, and didn't even know there should be an old barista, let alone thought I needed to know why they were no longer there. Professional, much?
I'm hoping this was just a bad first experience so I will go back because it's the only local coffeehouse by my work that isn't Starbucks or fast food. But if my next trip is like this first one, it will be my last.
