| - I had high hopes for this place because of some of the reviews and how the place looked upon walking in. It was packed with people and busy! As soon as I entered, I noticed to the right, a bookshelf and that caught my attention right away, I wanted to sit there and peep the books. Finding a seat here proved to be tedious considering some people took up two tables.... For the two of them only. Or that people used chairs for their bags or that both the upstairs and the downstairs sections were full.
First and foremost, this place will cost you a pretty penny. A chocolate pastry, a veggie quiche, & a Nutella latte totaled $20.00. Ouch! The Nutella Latte was nothing special, nor the pastry. It looked HUGE, so that's why I decided on the pastry, but it's basically $5 for a fluffy piece of bread with a tiny slab of chocolate at the bottom.
The veggie quiche... Oh man. I've already found the one place I want to get my quiches at, so I had hoped that this place, being so nicely designed, would match that place. Way wrong. The girl at the register told me it's a 13 minute wait for my quiche because they're going to place it in the oven, I said okay, knowing I would sit and chat for awhile here. Once they gave me my food, it didn't look nearly as appetizing as the quiches I eat at this other cafe. I scooped a piece of it and fed it to my boyfriend who said that he didn't like it. I asked why, and he said it was cold. I then tried it and spit it back out because he was right! And I don't mean "lukewarm" and customers nag and say it was ice cold. No, it was literally still cold. So I told one of the cashiers and they said sorry and would get it fixed.
She microwaved what I handed back to her and gave it back to me. Was it hot? Yes. But now I was just unhappy because it should've been hot from the start, after being in an oven for 13 minutes. And then it gets handed back to me with my pieces still on the plate and whatnot.
Not impressed. I've had way better food for way better prices. Sorry Sambalatte, this place was lacking.
