We decided to try Blue Bottle Coffee today for the first time, and I honestly don't know if I'll come back [to this location].
We ordered a sweet (iced) latte, the nola iced coffee, the apple crumble danish and the almond croissant. The coffee was good, the ambiance was great, and the apple crumble danish was to die for. The almond croissant was good, but it wasn't my favorite.
The issue I had was with the service. Maybe she was just having a bad day, or maybe she just treats everyone like that, but the blonde girl with short curly hair was impertinent from the moment we walked through the door. It was only two of us, and we weren't rude or loud. She didn't smile once, didn't welcome us in, and walked away from the register while we were still ordering because she just assumed I was done. When she walked away, I asked her if we could order food as well, and she just told me they were out of food. It wasn't until my partner asked her about the pastries specifically that she told us all they had was pastries. That's.... food.
There was a kind barista with purple streaks in her hair that let us know someone would be right with us when we came in. (:
Overall, I really liked the coffee shop and what they had to offer. However, the service the barista gave us today made the visit a little sour. Being a former barista, it was extra disappointing. I hope she can do better in the future.
