The new Liebre cafe was recently sold to the current owners, previously known as Sun House Cafe, their flaw was that their coffee brewing and selection was mediocre. I had hope that this one would be better, but nope. Here are the supporting facts.
Last week or so I paid for a Chai latte and it tasted awful. I told the barista and she made me another one, diluted & super spicy. Then she told the male owner and he had me me try a few more versions with different ratios of water to Chai tea asking me to help him taste test and experiment for his benefit. WOW, seriously?!
You would think he offer me a refund or something else on the menu, instead I realized I was paying him for me to be his guinea pig. I was so full of liquids and felt gross. You should NEVER have something on the menu if you have no idea how to make it. I should have just stopped coming.
My last visit yesterday, I ordered two coffees for me and my wife. The coffee was alright. The owner had a stamp card, but was very adamant on her policy that I only get one stamp not two because I paid for my wife's coffee in one transaction. Tell me what cafe does this in NYC? You buy two coffees you get two stamps. I told her and she just smiled back blankly. But here's the cherry on top...
My wife ordered a skim latte and the female owner said she has skim milk, but it has been expired for one day. She then asked my wife if she still wants the expired milk, since she recently drank it and it tasted fine. No joke. You can't even make this shit up. The owner offered expired milk instead of going to the deli next door and buying a new bottle. My wife turned down her expired skim milk and chose the soy milk instead. She then topped off her cheapness by charging 50 cents extra for the soy milk. Let me get this straight, because my wife rejected your expired skim milk, her options are either to drink her coffee black or get charged 50 cents for an alternate milk?! The owner surpassed a level of cheapness I didn't even know existed!! What planet did she come from?
Clearly the owners are delusional and have no clue know how to run a cafe. Put your money elsewhere guys.
