celly snotsSunday afternoon and place is absolutely clogged with students openly napping and hogging tables with belongings left unattended. Staff does not manage seating as they no incentive to do so. A huge turn off where willing customers are repeatedly shown the door
Dr. David MillerBeen stopping by multiple times a week since my office is upstairs in Guthrie House. Nice ambience. I quite enjoy their Eggs Benedict which they call “eggs Ben.” Their coffee is not bad, at least pleasing to my palate. They have a selection of sweet pastries but not much in the way of croissants or bagels, which seem conspicuously missing. The staff who I recognize and am generally good terms with seem tired. Usually just two of them in in the morning. I recognize the rigor and challenge of retail, but there seems to be some sullen undertone as if they are overworked or displeased somehow. I usually ask for heavy cream for my coffee, since I’m not very tolerant of milk, but I was told they only have it on the holiday. A few times I was told they didn’t have it at all, then next time someone brought it out. I don’t know what the issue is. All in all it’s a good place to prime the pump before the workday begins, but I’m thinking of trying their next door competition.
Celeste HongShout out to the staff Afina, who helped us on a weekday morning, she was so informative and polite, and it is so rare to find a staff member so hardworking. Service was fast, and overall atmosphere was great too, with the store being a lot more spacious than some other branches.
