This was the most bizarre coffee shop experience I've ever had. Their menu is pretty limited with only cane sugar syrup as a sweetener option, which wasn't the issue. On their seasonal menu they had a ginger chai available hot or iced. Sounded great, so I asked for an iced ginger chai and asked them to make it a dirty chai (chai with an espresso shot added) and the barista looked at me with a straight deadpan face and said no I can't do that. I said, "....what?" She said that the ginger doesn't pair well with espresso so she "can't"make that drink. I didn't know the barista was the one drinking the drink I ordered...a dirty chai isn't a strange or difficult request, and I LIKE the taste of ginger in espresso, but she refused to make it for me. It would've been different if she was like "hey I don't think that will taste good, but we'll make it if you really want it" instead of just saying no I can't make that. I should've ordered an iced ginger chai with a shot of espresso on the side and just put it together myself, but I walked out instead. So strange, and I probably won't be back after the barista's weird attitude.
