The oldest coffee shop? More like the RUDEST!!! Terrible service, meh food, ok coffee, high prices.
I popped in on a weekday around 1p looking for a coffee and quick snack while waiting for a friend, and this place looked so quaint with lots of options. The cashier was nice enough. I ordered a sandwich and matcha latte TO GO which costed around $17. I paid with a $20, and said keep the change for a tip..........This is where the visit became bizarrely UNSETTLING. While waiting for my sandwich, my friend showed up and grabbed the menu thinking about ordering something TO GO also, so we sat on the patio. Another lady (asian lady, possibly the owner) who seemed to be pacing around frantically in a hypertensive crisis (even though there was one elderly couple on the patio ie not busy), comes over with a condiment caddy, to which I say, oh I'm just waiting for my to go order. So my friend keeps looking at the menu, and the lady comes out in a mood saying, your order is ready, IT'S BEEN READY, so I went inside to get it. The order was still being bagged by the cashier. After a minute, she hand me my latte and the to go bag, so I went back out to the patio where my friend was ready to make her order with the menu in hand. The frantic lady comes out again, YOU CAN'T SIT HERE!!! YOU CAN'T SIT HERE, THIS IS FOR DINING IN ONLY YOU - HAVE A TO GO ORDER!! YOU HAVE TO HAVE A PLATE!!! My friend was holding the menu about to order for herself, so I was like, ummm ok, bring me a plate then?!??!! .... thinking I could just have one bite of sandwich while we wait for my friend's order. The lady goes to take my to go bag like she was gonna leave and plate the whole thing. So I was like oh never mind, I will just wait. And this really set her off, saying - WELL I WAS ASKING YOU GUYS WHAT YOU WANTED TO DO BUT YOU WOULDN'T TELL ME. YOU CAN'T EAT OUT HERE. YOU CANT EAT OUT HERE! At this point it's just getting really disturbing and unsettling, so my friend decided not to order anything herself, and we walked through the café towards the front door. And the same lady was antagonizing us the whole way saying things like, THERE ARE SIGNS EVERYWHERE!!! my friend looks at her and was like, I was going to order but you are so rude!!! More attitude from the lady, so I called the rude lady a BEE-EYE--TEA-SEE-H. And she said, TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE #1) are you in middle school?? #2) who talks to customers like that at an eating establishment???? I have never seen anything like that in my life SOOOO RUUUUDE!!!!!!! good luck with that
