Looked pretty cute - big menu, lots of choices for tea and coffee and the even had a crepe menu. Our order was taken by the owner and our drinks made. We grabbed our drinks and walked up to the loft area and passed by the crepe spot. The floors were filthy, garbages overflowing, food and refuse on the floor. I thought - hmm... someone will be sweeping that up soon... Went upstairs. More garbage and food on the floor, tables not wiped and just generally kind of felt disgusting. \nWe ordered a mixed fruit crepe - I wish I had taken a picture of what was supposed to be in it - but I didn't. I do know it said strawberry, blueberry and mango (and other fruit) and apple sauce. We got apple, banana and strawberry with some kind of sweet squirt of glaze over the top. No blueberries, no mango. I don't mind - they just should let you know in case the reason you are ordering it is because you love blueberries and mango!! The crepe was good, the chai latte was good, the coffee was fine. \nMy husband used the mens room and said it was dirty. Hand towels on the floor, none left in the dispenser. They do have an air dryer so he could dry his hands.\n\nSo on my way out I discreetly spoke to the owner. I said - 'You've got such a cute place here, great menu, great food, but it's totally filthy' He said 'We've had 1,000 people in here today, I can't keep up with the mess.\" Really? If you sold a minimum of 1,000 drinks you can at least hire someone to clean. The sink was full of water and dirty dishes. The counters were full and messy and probably dirty. I mentioned that he had only 8 reviews on trip advisor and 4 of them were complaining of the lack of cleanliness. He replied 'I've only been on trip advisor for a short time - they just signed me up' Weird - he has a review from 2012... \n\nAnyhow - I would love a local, small, really cute coffee shop like this to be successful. But not if he can't be bothered to spend the money to hire someone to clean. His excuses were lame. My local Starbucks sees more people than this cafe and they keep it clean. In the restaurant business you can't be too busy to clean. Only too lazy or too cheap."^^ . . .
