| - I can never find anywhere to sit at this place - and getting a parking spot takes a bit of luck, too! Outlets are few & far between which makes the Lazy Loaf a no-go for studying (for me, anyway.) Service is (with very few exceptions) just brutal - I worked in coffee shops for years and years, and I know the vibe that most of these employees are giving off - burnt out, tired of repetition, and not given enough incentive or praise to care. There doesn't seem to be much in place in regards to an efficient system of operation... drink orders are scribbled down on a scrap piece of paper, and I'll never forget the time I ordered a latte and sat waiting for 15 minutes while nobody touched the espresso machine. It was sooooo awkward, although they were very apologetic once they realized they had immediately forgotten.
Beyond that, the food is AMAZING! Delicious soups & sandwiches, and one of the best baked goods displays I've seen (the chocolate explosion cake is my absolute nemesis, but I have also been seduced by the nanaimo bars more than once as well as the carrot cake loaf... sigh).
Also, lots of children every time I've gone in. Lots and lots of children.
