FOOD POISONING:
I was very excited to try this place and catch up with my friend and her baby. It was Saturday, May 27th, 2023. We ordered the cashew butter+blueberry toast that we shared, I had the eggplant vegan sandwich and she had a salad with meat. For drinks, we had an oat milk latte and a chai latte. Her baby drank the water and had a piece of bread.
Everything was fine... until the next morning...
The 3 of us had intense symptoms of food poisoning: nausea, stomach cramps, vomiting, diarrhea, body aches, and fever. It was awful. We concluded that it could only be something we had been exposed to from this cafe since we had not been in contact with each other before meeting and eating there.
When my friend called the cafe to explain what happened (the following Tuesday morning), the employee asked what we ate. When my friend said "We shared a toast", the employee said "The cashew toast?", making us wonder how she already knew what kind of toast it was... She didn't really seem to care, take responsibility, or provide any form of adequate customer service, which is extremely disappointing. We got food poisoning from being exposed to something from this cafe! It's not insignificant! We spent 24 hours in intense pain from eating there. A 1-year-old baby does not have the same immune defenses as adults, it's dangerous. We lost 2 days of being able to function (think, walk, work, care for children, and life commitments) but most importantly, this is unnecessary suffering that could have been avoided if the cleanliness standards were higher.
