To start with the good, the cafe has a diverse menu with healthy options, great coffee, and is decorated really cute. However, our experience was horribly ruined by the staff's management of a drunk homeless man who was harassing us.
When we entered the cafe, my friend and I were the only customers. There was a young girl working the counter and a man who I assume to be a manger or owner working at a table in the back. A few minutes after we entered the cafe, a drunk homeless man came in and chucked his glass beer bottle which thankfully made it's way into the trash can. The girl working the counter just laughed to herself and said something along the lines of "cut it out Marvin", so I assumed she knew this man.
The man then saw me and my friend. At this point he began making horrific vulgar LOUD comments to us, going into specific details about our body parts and how he wanted to get us pregnant (I'll spare you the exact words). The girl working the counter was smiling and laughing until she saw the look on our faces, at which point she knocked the smile off her face and also became serious. The man continued on for a minute or two and then left.
My friend and I shook it off, and placed our orders. I started walking around the cafe taking pictures (because it is a cute cafe). I heard the door open behind me and a few seconds later the man was right behind me in my personal space. I immediately walked to the other side of the cafe to stand next to my friend. The man proceeded to yell across the cafe about what he sexually wanted to do to my friend and I, this lasted for 1-2 minutes and then he left again. Once again, the girl working the counter and the man sitting at the table ignored the whole situation even though they could hear and see EVERYTHING (the cafe is relatively small).
At this point, I couldn't believe that they allowed this very public, extremely uncomfortable situation occur TWICE without intervening. I went up to the girl at the counter and told her that my friend and I are just trying to purchase food and eat in your restaurant but we don't feel safe or comfortable when this crazy man (who is not even a customer) keeps coming in and harassing us. The manager/owner that was sitting at the back table came up to us and told us not to worry and he went went outside to talk to the homeless man (I assume). It was just really upsetting that it had to happen twice and that I had to ask them for help and point out how this situation is wrong/uncomfortable.
You would thing that if someone who was not a customer kept entering your restaurant to loudly and publicly sexually harass two paying customers, you would put an end to it. Unfortunately, that is not the case at Mr.Baguette.
