| - I went here to meet someone I had never met before. I did not enjoy myself. It is a very intimidating space, when going there alone, especially on a Saturday afternoon.
It was craZy busy too. Too busy. I sat at the bar, stayed for about a half hour and ordered a tea. My total came to about $2.55. The guy misunderstood me when I asked for my change back from my $5. He kept a dollar for himself and I only got $1.50 back. I wouldn't be too hard up on this if it wasn't for me tipping an additional 50 cents, in which his deserving of, was questionable.
I wasn't altogether there that day- my mind was somewhere else. So I didn't notice this change discrepancy until after I had left. But by default if you are a server and misunderstand the patron, you don't take money from them, you give them ALL their change and let them deal with it. Period.
I will not be returning in spite of their quinoa salad looking tasty.
On another note, since the capacity was reaching it's limit, they had a line right behind the chairs at the bar. People kept on knocking, although accidentally, their feet against the legs of the chairs; my chair, making for an uncomfortable stay.
My recommendation for anyone venturing to the Queen Mother Cafe in the future is to go when they aren't so busy.... I guess their busy-ness speaks of the reputation their food has, as in being good, worthy of a line. And people seem to really like their atmosphere too. Guess it depends on the seat you have.
Good Luck!
