I have visited Sneaks a few times recently due to a rec from a friend, but honest its kind of disappointing and absolutely disgusting. I hate to be negative in this review, but this was one of the most worst experiences I have had in a while that I felt the need to warn others.
First when I arrived I could not tell where the main entrance to enter, the large doors that looked like a back entrance turned out to be THE entrance and both times I visited they remained closed with no sign to indicate it was for the public to enter. When you entered you just were greeted with a messy scene of used candles not lit and a really dark entrance, not very welcoming but I was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt and give them a second try.... Never. Again. I walked in and ordered a matcha since it was one of my favorite cafe drink to try when visiting a new cafe. Tasted a bit watered down, but what got me was the nausea I felt after only ordering that. I assumed it was the green tea, but this was different and I attempted my best to drink it. While waiting I decided to look at the decor and sneakers mounted on the wall. Decor was okay too, mostly all the couches were a no-go since the legs on each one was broken. The tables and chairs that were actually intact were dirty from previous guests, so I decided on leaving over lounging on the broken couch with the 7 dead fly's (yes... I counted) on the window pane
During my second visit was the rotten cherry on top of this nasty experience thus far. I wanted to give Sneaks one more shot, thinking maybe it was just a bad day for them. They must be having months worth of bad days, because what I saw was unacceptable and need to be inspected. Everything was pretty much the same dirty and unkempt, the only difference was that the broken cheap furniture was moved around and at least 3 of the 7 flys were finally cleaned up with the rest still sunbathing. I decided on ordering a simple iced oat milk latte. I decided to just hang by the cafe bar while I believe the manager Rick was fumbling around to making my drink. At some point he had walked away for a second to the back is when I looked over at the bar area and say some movement thinking it was another fly... Worse, they were a few of those tiny roaches crawling on the edge of supposed empty ice bin with a bucket to hold the ice... in the ice bin? I was too disgusted and confused for words I just up and left and told the friend who rec this place to never again recommend. They said they never paid attention since they would just go in, order and leave. But this?! I had chewed on making this review cause I usually don't make reviews but this was unacceptable. Dumbfounded on the reviews I had seen, all enjoying and posting just ungenuine experiences just to promote said business. Meaning it only seems to be positive reviews made by close patroons that know the owners.
I wished it was a better experience but I am scarred from this. No ice in any of my drinks from any cafe/store here on out, and hopefully Sneaks actually put in care, because the idea of a cafe/bar really peaked my interest, but it seems like they just opened for the first time this week is how id described the overall experience with lack of care and creativity...
