| - I wanted to make sure I gave this coffee shop several chances before writing a review. I've gone there approximately 8 times and have always had the same type of experience. Pros: OK coffee, great cookies, cute place. That's it.
The first time I went, it was the first day they were opened. I ordered a cappuccino. The barista handed me my drink and said, "Whoops. I wasn't paying attention and made a latte by accident." I took it anyway, but was shocked that she didn't even ask if that was OK. Every time I've gone in, I've felt like an inconvenience to the barista. One sat on her phone while I stood there waiting. Another said literally nothing and just stood there looking at me. I've gotten one friendly "hello" from one of the baristas, but that's it. Would it kill any of them to smile or say, "Hey, how's it going?" It's not an inviting atmosphere and only one barista seems even remotely friendly. Finally, I went in one more time and was utterly disgusted at the smell. It smelled as though a toilet overflowed and a pack of dead animals were piled up behind the counter. I was so disgusted and don't even want to know how a coffee shop (usually one of my favorite smells) had the ability to smell that bad.
I'd love a good coffee shop down this end of LV and would even take a mediocre one. But, the unpleasant baristas and unwelcoming atmosphere is enough to make me drive to 6th Ward for coffee.
