I'd been wanting to try this stylish café for some time. Because I absolutely despiiiiise being served drinks in disposable cups, I specified "para tomar aquí", even though everyone around me on the full patio had pretty ceramic mugs and elegant glasses. When my drink came out in a plastic cup, I wanted to cry! The server was understanding and replaced it with a real glass, but it still came with a disposable plastic swizzle stick. So wasteful and disappointing.
Pros: The service was top-notch. Friendly and attentive, the server even brought my dog a bowl of water, which we both appreciated. My iced mocha was spot on, super tasty and the perfect mix of espresso, chocolate and soy milk - delicious and refreshing on a hot morning. There's a decent amount of outdoor seating which was shielded from the street with plants and nicely shaded around 11am.
Overall I loved the place, but will hold off on returning until they stop using disposables for their dine-in guests. As a customer, it seems fair to expect a more elevated experience than a McDonald's drive-thru, and for the prices they charge, they could afford to stock the appropriate amount of glass and silverware to serve everyone equally, even when at capacity. read more
