Our cruise stopped in port for a few hours, and I had researched coffee shops to try, and now I feel like I made a mistake of picking Breezeblock, since the overall experience left a bad taste.
Not really sure how previous reviewers were able to stay long enough to get any work done, or "hang out", seeing as I'm writing this review after getting "asked to leave because you've stayed longer than 30 minutes." We sat for about 55 minutes. I believe it was the concierge of the Alea residential that asked us to leave. The space looked shared, as were the restrooms, as was the table we were sitting at.
There was no signage asking people to limit their stay or that there is a limit. Not to mention the space was nearly empty - because had it been busy, I would have understood asking us to leave. We were 2 people, just minding our own business, enjoying our drinks until we were asked to leave. We weren't being distracting or making any loud sounds.
How do you pick and choose who you ask to leave...?
If not for the getting kicked out for no reason, it would have been 4-5 stars, so the 1 star is for the drinks and the baristas. The drinks themselves were fine. The matcha was sifted properly and was not gritty like some places who don't do it right. The baristas were nice. Please also note that 18% gratuity is automatically added to your order.
Don't give this coffee shop your business unless you want to be kicked out, based on how you look (after reading additional reviews, it looks like they kick out guests who stop in port on cruises).
