| - As soon as you walk in the staff basically demands that you tell her why you have entered the store...was not impressed with the staff overall, they were rude, cold and impersonal, the girl serving me didn't even offer me my receipt and after you order they bring you your food and drink...but don't tell you this, so you stand around the counter like a loser while the staff ignore you until you slowly walk away, very confused.
I was actually really excited to finally try L'espresso and even more so that I brought my tea swigging little sister with me, whom never gets to come Toronto with me. However, I ended up just feeling bad that I took her to the land of over-priced. We shared a piece of Tiramisu and each got some tea; I had the white rose and she the green oolong. These three items came to $20.00, I was a little shocked but I though that everything was going to be over the top amazing, since they charge through the roof for their products. When they brought us our tea and cake, I was in love with the presentation of the tea; we both got mini-tea pots on bamboo trays, so adorable. My tea was really light and summery, I really enjoyed it and my sister said hers was good as well. I do feel slighted that each tea was close to five dollars and there was maybe a cup of tea in each pot. The tiramisu was creamy and light as well but it wasn't anything special, definitely not worth the seven dollars I paid for it.
I am pretty disappointed with my experience here but I have been reading other reviews and perhaps I should just stick to the coffee and espresso drinks at L'espresso. I don't know if there will be a next time, it will have to be someone else's suggestion because I won't be coming back by choice.
