My wife and I went into this cafe last week in a pleasant mood looking for a coffee before heading for a New Year's Eve dinner party. However, it didn't take long for our spirits to change . The barista must have been angry about something before we came in. Her facial expression and tone of voice said everything. We were so taken aback that I said to her that she might want to smile. Maybe not exactly what I wanted to say, but it just came out at the time. What I wanted to say to her was we don't want to feel like we're bothering you and causing friction - we just want a pleasant transaction. However, she told me that was the last thing she wanted to hear and that she wanted to end the transaction. She didn't give us our drinks and returned our money. Needless to say, we were confused and disappointed by this experience. This was our first visit to this cafe though we've been going to their other location (Annette St.) for years and have only good things to say.
