| - I first discovered the Coffee Lady through a deal website. I live down the street so I figured I'd check it out, get breakfast and coffee while getting some work done on my laptop. The breakfast sandwich (egg, ham, cheese, on their AMAZING multi-grain toast) is one of the best I've ever had! Coffee is so-so, wasn't very strong, but tasted good.
The service is what I have an issue with. Every time I went there (a total of 3 times) was planning on hanging out for a while. On my second visit, as I was using my prepaid online deal thing, the Coffee Lady rang me up and I gave her cash for the small difference in price between my certificate and what I owed. While she was getting change for the cash I gave her I slipped $3 into her tip jar (which she apparently didn't notice-but t doesn't matter anyway!) and when she handed me 50 cents back, I put that into the tip jar too. Awkward/uncomfortable/rude service moment next! She scoffed and commented on how LOW my TIP was!!! Are you kidding me??? 1) Just because you THINK someone is giving you a low tip, it is SOOOO RUDE to comment on it and try and make them feel bad about it 2) I really DID tip $3 on my coffee and breakfast sandwich and really just wanted to take my $3 right back out of the jar that second. But I didn't. I stayed, waited for my food, coffee and left later. 3) If someone doesn't have extra money to tip you at a walk up coffee shop, it really isn't that big of a deal that you need to make them feel publicly shamed.
The decor is cute and home-y inside, there are plenty of tables, very unreliable wifi, good breakfast sandwich, bleh coffee and crappy service.
