My 10yr old daughter love coming here. We know to expect large crowds, long line, and waiting for our food. This review is based on 1. The ONE HOUR wait for the food. 2. Lack of follow-up from the manager 3. The joke $5 coupons.
9:05AM: So, my daughter and I are happy to see the line is NOT out the door like it normally is. (Iykyk). She orders strawberry & Banana smoothie and berry French toast. I order Matcha w/oat milk and Breakfast Burrito.
9:15AM: We get out drinks. Great! We both have no problem with the time it arrived and loved the taste of both. Perfect!
9:30AM: " Mami, im hungry, when is the food getting here. " I'm sure, any minute now "
9:45AM: I turn to look towards the register and the MANAGER looks at me, acknowledges that order is taking a bit longer than normal, and I didn't even have to say anything. He said "let me run and check on your ticket ma'am". I said "Great, thank you".
10:00AM NOW, I am getting impatient. I never heard back from the manager to provide me an update, or ETA, or hear any accountability or honesty is they forgot to place my order... just nothing. This is the party right here that is frustrating. I'm an understanding person, but when you lack communication with your customers especially when you see they have a kid at the table, is NOT acceptable.
10:15AM: I call for the manager. I explained everything above. He didn't take personal accountability. He blamed the "kitchen manager" and said he is going to have a talk with him. He apologized for not checking in withe but said he was so busy he couldn't get back to me. He said he can offer some coupons and a dessert. I respectfully told him that I would have understood and my experience wouldn't have bbeen frustrating if had he just communicated an update with me so my daughter and I have a realistic ETA instead of just sitting and waiting like some dumb @$$es I thanked him and said, we finally got out food as we were talking, we will eat our food and I'll have my daughter choose her dessert and I'll collect the coupons at that time.
I let the manager know we are going to have the dessert there and ready for the coupons when he gets a chance. So, he brings us the Sweet Potato pie and a $FIVE DOLLAR VIP$ COUPON. One. And two Cappuccino coupons that say (cannot exceed $5). What a f*%$$% slap in the face. I paid $57 dollars for our order lol
I'm appalled that a business like Urth Caffe even has $5 coupons. They should be $20 coupons and up!
*video is of food. Remember, the food was great, the service was trash.
