| - Wanted to find a "Coffee Shop" that was close to my hotel. Jule came up as one of the closer places. Even though I love my Starbucks Latte, I really don't like hanging out in one. I find the locally owned shops to have much more character. So I sought out one, and Jule was it.
Walking in, it was much more a restaurant feel as I just couldn't sit anywhere. I was directed to a table. I had only wanted a drink and a dessert, so I asked about anything not caffeinated, and I was given two options. Ginger tea or Longan tea. I thought I'd give the Longan a try.
My dessert and tea were delivered quite quickly and the cake was definitely good. The tea on the other hand... I'm not sure what longan tea is supposed to taste like... But this is something I am definitely not ordering again.
There seemed to be plenty of servers, and the place had a few people in it but not overly busy. So there didn't appear to be any reason why someone couldn't have come by to check on the order (since this was actually a restaurant and not a coffee shop), but no.
Overall, Jule was good but nothing spectacular. My tea wasn't to my liking, but since a server never came back to check, I didn't order anything to replace it. So service was just meh. The place is cute, but I think that they could have so much more of a cool atmosphere if they tried. ie: dim the lights a little, and play some better music. The menu indicated that if you order a drink with your dessert you get $1.00 of the dessert... my bill wasn't reflective of this, and I'm not sure the serving knew enough English for me to explain that. I'll keep looking for better coffee shops.
