I didn't like this Ballantyne coffee shop while my boyfriend was pleased. I think the difference in experience rests in the dessert choice. We were looking for an inexpensive outing so we picked out a well Yelp reviewed coffee shop. The ambiance was nice, a little trendy but European. My boyfriend ordered the coffee, which he said was incredible, and the lava cake. I tasted it and it was delightful. I ordered a medium hot English Breakfast tea and the last lemon bar. My medium cup of tea was served in a small coffee cup. I felt taken advantage of. Then I tasted the lemon bar. It was waxy. There was no sharp bite of lemon or flaky shortbread crust. Again, I felt cheated. Altogether we spent almost $20 on what should have topped out at $10.
