| - I want to like this place, I really do. We're fans of Joe's Farm Grill (only for takeout, though--too crowded and touristy otherwise), and this is on the same property. We can walk there from our house, which is great on a crisp winter morning.
The spot is very cute, love the decor and the patio, but would it kill the staff to SMILE once in a while? Everyone looks so miserable and/or angry. You can't get them to smile if you tried.
Now the food. Don't bother. I've given it a couple of tries and it's just impressive. Today I tried the veggie scramble. The menu didn't say it had cheese on it, and I would have asked to nix it if I'd known. But it came out with a big pile of shredded cheese on top. Ok, fine, not what I wanted, but if you are going to do it, you couldn't put it under the broiler for like 30 seconds to melt it and heat it? Lazy. The flavor was NIL. Zero. Like eating cardboard. No salt, no pepper, no herbs or spices of any sort. And just thrown on the plate. You eat with your eyes first. Fail. Then you expect to have flavor. Fail. And for it to be hot. Fail. I added hot sauce and salt and it was fine, but not worth buying. My daughter had a hot chocolate that was lukewarm at best, and clearly Swiss Miss from an envelope. Another waste of money.
The cupcakes? Yawn. Overpriced for small cupcakes that are dry and crusty. They're pretty and well decorated, but not much beyond that.
Sorry to be so harsh, but I'm done giving this place a shot. I might be more inclined to go back just for a cup of coffee once in a while, but the staff's attitude has made that impossible too. I'll go somewhere else.
