| - The coffee and my sandwich were alright--it was the experience that really left me with a bad taste in my mouth.
I stopped in on a Sunday afteroon, wanting a bite to eat and an iced coffee. There was no sign of food on the main menu, and when I asked if they had any, the guy at the register pointed to a stack of papers. I looked and saw they were a circle-what-you-want type thing, so I did that. Then he proceeded to tell me they were out of turkey as well as pepperjack. Ok, sub ham for turkey and jack for pepperjack. Then he tells me they're out of iced coffee....now sure how, but fine...I picked something else. As my credit card was running he made an exasperated noise and told me they were out of pretzel buns too. Honestly, I was at my wits end at this point, but since my card already run and I was starving, I just rolled with it and told him to put it on sourdough. The other guy behind the counter was apologetic, saying they get their shipments on Mondays and that was why they were out of so many things.
I had asked the guy who rang me up for the wifi password and I sat down and attempted to connect to the wifi. There was no network with their name, so I chose the strongest signal, but it wasn't theirs. When the guy who took my order brought out my sandwich I asked which network it was. He told me (and it was not anything obvious) with a tone like I was a total moron and I was putting him out for asking. Then, at 1:30 he walked up to me and said "I just wanted to tell you that we close at 2:00 sharp." I could already tell because they were bringing in the outside furniture, plus I had checked with the nicer of the two employees not two minutes before that, but thank you for the rude reminder.
It's really a shame that I had such an awful experience, because I'm signing a lease at a place really close to here. I'd love to have a local coffee shop I feel comfortable stopping by or working in, but this one certainly isn't it.
