| - After seeing all the rave and hype, I finally decided to try this place out.
The name of the coffee and being located next to a hookah lounge should should already hint at the hipster vibe this place gives. Artwork adorns the walls, plenty of comfortable seats to relax in, and an array of boardgames to choose from.
Walking in, I was immediately overwhelmed by the amount of choices they had. Since it had been my first time, I decided to ask the barista behind the counter of any recommendations she may have. However, I seemed to have disrupted her more-important conversation with the UPS (or FedEx, if it really matters) guy and her friends. Met with an ice-cold stare, she proceeded to then tell me that "all the drinks we have our awesome". With an eye-roll, she continued on her conversation with the two. Oh. Well, then.
Being into the Halloween/fall spirit, I decided to try their hot seasonal pumpkin latte. After receiving my drink and taking a sip, I immediately noted the lack of "hot" in my hot drink. I also had a hard time detecting the taste of pumpkin anywhere. However, I had no problem tasting the humongous amount of sugar inside the drink. Not wanting to be rude, I tried mustering up the ability to drink the diabetes in a cup, but I called it quits no more than a few more sips in when I started to feel nauseated.
Maybe it was a bad batch. I would've been more than happy to ask for a remake if the barista stopped talking to her friends and shut her phone off for more than a few seconds. However, their coffee and bad customer service skills left a bad taste in my mouth - literally.
