| - Comoncy left a lot to be desired. I had heard good things so we decided to walk there from our nearby apartment to have breakfast and work on our laptops for a bit.
When we first arrived we noticed they actually don't have any tables inside, which we thought was odd. It wasn't too cold today so we decided it would be fine to eat outside. The cashier assured us that they had wifi.
While we were deciding what to order, we let a security guard from Dakota go ahead of us, and he ordered two blended drinks which took the single employee a while to make. So we waited, while silently contemplating going somewhere else, but we stayed since we walked and didn't feel like walking another 20 minutes elsewhere. Once it was our turn to order, I asked how much one of the drinks in the beverage cooler costs, and got a response of "something like $3, I don't know." Ok... So I asked him how a few things were on the menu and again heard "I don't know." I guess he's vegan, but as the only employee at this business, it would be good to at least be armed with some points about each dish even if he hasn't tried them.
I ordered the egg sandwich with a cup of water and my boyfriend ordered the breakfast burrito and a drip coffee.
We went to sit outside to start working, but the speakers outside were blaring club music mixed with sports reporter/some kind of sports game. We got out one laptop but the wifi was excruciatingly slow - we couldn't even connect. It took us about 3 minutes to decide there was no way we were staying, and we regretted ordering. So I went inside to ask for our orders to go, but there was no one around, so I waited. When the employee came out, he had already bagged our orders for us, which made me feel even more unwelcome. We left, and won't be back.
As far as the food itself. The breakfast burrito was really plain, even with homemade salsa, with barely any cheese or meat (mostly eggs and potatoes). It's served with potatoes on the side (mixed yukon, purple, and sweet potatoes) which were good, however, the sweet potatoes were undercooked. The egg sandwich was also fine but I could have easily made both of these things at home and a better cup of coffee. We felt it was overpriced for what we got.
There are a lot of coffee shops in the area. We came here because it was close enough for us to walk, but I wish we went somewhere else.
