About this restaurants :
Let’s start with the service. The service wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t great. It’s the definition of middling. When you walk into this location, there isn’t really a lot of room to maneuver before you hit the counter, so if there’s a fair amount of people here, you kind of stack up at the front door.
The people in front of me were taking an exceptionally long time to order, and that was because almost everything they asked for wasn’t available. I didn’t think I arrived at this location too late in the day, but they were out of two of their most popular coffees. I found it a little bit weird that a coffee shop runs out of coffee.
I eventually made it to the counter and ordered my standard, I’m reviewing your establishment drink, which is a mocha latte by the way. When it was served to me it came out at the right temperature, was well flavored, and was generally pleasant. The problem is the environment was really non-conducive to drinking it.
It was the middle of a heat wave, and there was almost no indoor seating at this location at all. 99% of the seating locations are outside. I simply don’t understand how they can function that way.
The interior is sparse in a way that reminds you of your first college apartment. It seems to be decorated with random assortments they found around thrift shops and slowly, and unevenly, populated the storefront. It just had a weird vibe.
There is a countertop traditionally found at coffee shops, the one with creamers and steering sticks on top, but because there were no holes cut in it the trash cans underneath had to be dragged in and out to be used. There were things like this everywhere that just made the whole thing seem weird.
It was like they had everyone else’s second hand coffee fixtures that were found at Home Goods. They look great, but something’s not quite right with them. Although, in the end it’s the coffee that saves the review. Outside of the coffee, almost everything else seemed out of place.
