Cartel has exceptional coffee, no doubt about it. I came in today looking forward to a latte and a breakfast burrito... Only to discover they've stopped serving all of their breakfast and lunch menus. The devastation!
There's nothing worse than when you've chosen to treat yourself and you're looking forward to something (while being "hangry" already) only to learn that it's no longer available. I opted to a get my usual drink and decided to try a blueberry muffin. The muffin was dry and hard. There wasn't any music on in the entire place, and the gal behind the counter may have needed to drink some coffee herself. Service was incredibly slow and she barely even smiled. Overall, a disappointing experience.
