This is your warning! Don't throw your money down the Next toilet!
I have noooo problem labeling this the worst place. The service, food and coffee are all on the same level of terrible.
I live in the neighborhood and was very excited to try this awesome looking establishment.
1st experience - I had already gotten a coffee earlier in the morning so I just needed breakfast and an excuse to check out the inside. I decided on the breakfast burrito that the counter chick had recommended.
I paid with my cc and signed the receipt. Her happy go lucky attitude changed so quickly I thought a killer with a knife had walked in behind me!
Then it hit me. I didn't tip her! OMG is she really that mad? I thought she would just grab my burrito from the case and hand it to me. I didn't get coffee so why tip? I thought it would be a 2 second transaction.
Well...she made me wait 10 minutes and I was the only one waiting. I couldn't believe it. What a fantastical first experience. That is when I decided...nope not for me.
Then I ate my burrito and it was the worst thing to hit these lips in quite some time. It was horrible. I would imagine having this in a hospital cafeteria. I'm not kidding...bad.
About a month later I was looking for a place to study and meet up with a friend. I decided to try Next again. It's soooo close and I hadn't tried the coffee yet so why not.
I ordered a black and white mocha. It was not good. It reminded me of gas station coffee...the kind you get on long ass road trips. The kind you put your cup under hit the button and let go about 1/3 from the top.
My friend arrived about 30 minutes before they closed and ordered a drip. She went for a refill about 15 minutes later but they had dumped all the coffee!
They had just had a convo with her. They couldn't have forgotten about the customer they just sold a drip to who might want a refill! They were so worried about closing up and going home. They had dumped everything and closed up 15 minutes before closing time.
That is crazy to me! I can't stand the service the food or the coffee at Next. It sucks because the space is amazing...they just suck badly!
