I love the atmosphere of this place, I love the quality of their coffee, but I did not love the arrogance of the guy serving us. My mom and I popped by here for a pick me up before a long drive, and I wanted to pick up some fresh beans to bring back for a friend in BC.
Our conversation went something like this:
me: "I think I'll buy some beans too...Which ones do you recommend? What's your favourite roast right now?"
Guy: *rolls his eyes a little* "I mean..I don't know. My favourite one isn't here, I don't think."
me: "Oh,uhh.. okay - which is your favourite?"
Guy: "It doesn't matter, I don't think we have it. Well maybe we do over here...." *walks to a stand and looks for coffee beans* "No, we don't have it."
Me: Okay..uh.... cool. Well I guess I'll get this Honduran one...The tasting notes sound pretty good. Do you like this one?"
Guy: "Umm..Sure. They're all good."
So helpful, my mind was blown.
I ordered a cortado to stay and although it was delicious it was made with some super sloppy latte art. Not a huge deal, but I think the expectation is definitely there when you go to a cafe like this.
All in al though - The cafe itself is beautiful and cozy, the food we ordered was delicious, and the coffee was good. Just the service could have use a small finessing.
