| - I went to this cafe with my husband after anxiously waiting several months for it to open up for business. Well, I got my hopes up because it really wasn't anything that great. I was expecting an ABUNDANCE of bakery goodies, but they don't have that much. I have seen better quality and selection at another bakery I go to in Sun City. All they had was two little displays of baked goods, some of which pretty tasty, like their cheesecake brownies and mini bundt cakes, but still...I wasn't that impressed. They also have a breakfast and lunch menu with things like croissant sandwiches, or scrambled eggs or french toast. The portion size is pretty small and the price is pretty affordable. It's sort of like Mcdonalds. I ordered the raisin french toast, which came with two strips of bacon, a small piece of french toast and a small cup of fruit for under $6.00. Fountain drinks are seperate and are not included in the meal, so that's another $2.00. I should of went to IHOP.
The thing that really annoyed me though, was the staff. Upon entering the cafe, I was greeted by what I assume was a hostess, although she didn't seat us because it's self-seating. She was awfully chipper and fake. She then asked us if we had ever dined there before, as if dining there and trying to figure out what to do was quantum physics or something. The cashiers were also pretty overly-chipper and it seemed insincere. I am assuming this happy attitude was only due to the place just opening. Usually all employees are, then after 6 months, they turn into disgruntled jerks. Also, when we went to get our drinks, (and also the entire time we were eating) there was a self-important looking manager talking with one of his fellow collegues rudely standing dead center in front of the soda fountain. He was polite in greeting us, but him and his collegue just would not budge from that spot and were completely blocking traffic in front of the soda machine. He just kept standing there with his little clipboard, trying to look important and discussing exciting changes and oversees of this new cafe. It was so rude. I had to keep going around him to get my drink and condiments. He was completely oblivious to his rudeness.
All in all, I doubt I'll go back here. I paid freakin' $8.00 total for some little dinky breakfast, when I could have went to Micky D's and got it for $4. Plus the staff is so phoney bologna and need to turn it down a notch.
