We visited Namaste based on recommendations but were left disappointed. The staff were unhelpful and at times outright rude. A tip was automatically added to the bill before any service was provided, and when we chose not to pay it, the cashier made a scene, claiming it was "difficult to remove."
The pricing was excessive—$8 for a plain bagel with nothing on it, and $15 for a simple bowl of yogurt. When I asked for a bit of butter, one staff member said they didn’t offer it, while another said it would cost $3. It arrived in a tiny ramekin barely the size of a quarter of my palm. I got a yoghurt bowl, bagel and smoothie which came to $35, which to me was very expensive for something so simple and plain.
To top it off, when my friend tried to pay with a $100 bill, the cashier claimed he had no change (even though he did), and scolded her for using large bills at "small businesses." The overall attitude of the staff felt unwelcoming and unaccommodating. Sadly, we won’t be returning.
