There has been times when my drink didn't come out the same as when I first bought them. So I guess it just depends on who is making the drink. This is a small little cafe that has some seats for you to sit and eat. Food I tried was yummy and the tiramisu latte is also one of my favorites. The Thai tea latte is also a bit more creamy which is yummy and not overwhelmingly sweet.

They seem like nice people, but unfortunately I found the experience pretty unaccommodating when…read morethere was an issue with my order. I ordered a Thai latte and was extremely disappointed. It was grossly sweet, so sweet that it genuinely made me a little nauseous. I only took two sips before asking if they could make it less sweet or possibly switch it for a matcha latte, which was the exact same price. I was asked if I was going to pay for a new drink, which I found frustrating. If the issue is with the drink itself, especially when I had barely touched it, I don't think the customer should have to pay again for a replacement of equal value. They offered to add more milk, but it didn't really help, and I was also told I'd have to pay if I wanted them to add more tea. At that point, it felt like there was no real effort to resolve the issue. I even had my friend try the drink, and she agreed that it didn't really taste like a Thai latte. To me, it tasted mostly like milk, food coloring, and an overwhelming amount of sugar. I also ordered a garlic cream cheese bread, which was good. Not the best I've had, but definitely not bad. I'd say their pastries are a step above their drinks based on my experience. I'm also in the service industry, so I try to be understanding when things aren't perfect. That's why the way this was handled bothered me more than the drink itself. This felt like a very easy situation to fix, and I would've handled it differently with a customer. I don't expect perfection, but I do expect some willingness to make a reasonable correction when a customer is clearly unhappy with something they've barely consumed. Overall, I probably won't be coming back. The staff were friendly, and it is a quiet place to study with free Wi-Fi, so I could see myself recommending it for grabbing a small pastry and getting some work done between classes. But for the prices, I don't think the quality or customer service was enough to make me want to return, especially when I can go to Tous Les Jours and get what I consider better quality for a similar price. I wanted to like this place, but unfortunately the drink and the way the situation was handled left a pretty bad impression.

I've been wanting to try Uncle Nearest whiskey for a while and sure enough I got a FB ad showing…read morethat this local spot had it! It's definitely a great little spot tucked away in Glenelg. From the outside of the building, you wouldn't know that there's a speakeasy inside, but that's what makes it fun. There's a handful of tables inside and a small shuffleboard too. There's an area outside that I have not been able to check out yet due to it being February when I was there. Kelvin gave me a great story about Uncle Nearest and told it with such enthusiasm too. Kelvin brings this great energy and is one of those people where you can tell that he loves what he does. The whiskey selection in here is phenomenal! So many different ones that I want to try and Kelvin will give you his recommendations based on your preferences. This is a great place for those that want to sip on whiskey or a classic cocktail. Can't wait to go back just so I can have some good laughs with Kelvin and try a few more whiskeys that are on my list!

La Poteria was the perfect midpoint to grab our morning caffeine fix and a bite to eat before we hit the Harpers Ferry hiking trails. The cafe was beautifully decorated with marble tables, a ton of plants, and plenty of couches and cozy armchairs. There was a ton of natural light from the giant windows, but they also had a number of aesthetic hanging lights, some of which were exposed bulbs and others of which were in little wicker baskets. As far as the food and drink goes, I loved their latte. The coffee was rich and not overly acidic, and it was strong enough that you could still appreciate the chocolatey, nutty undertones under the generous helping of steamed milk and foam. I also loved the little heart sprinkle they added in the center of the mug -- such a cute final touch! My friend and I also split two of their savory items, the cheese arepa and spinach and feta empanada. The empanada was a little different than what I was used to, as it was super flaky and buttery, with an almost croissant or puff pastry-like dough. It was delicious and the savory feta went wonderfully with the spinach and the slightly peppery mayo-based sauce they served it with. The arepa was also lovely, with a generous helping of gooey melted cheese on top of the slightly chewy, slightly sweet corn-based flatbread.

The food here usually doesn't miss, which is why this recent experience was disappointing…read more I was here with a friend who ordered an ube cruffin. She took a bite and immediately noticed that the cream filling tasted sour. I tried it myself and could tell right away that the cream tasted spoiled, it wasn't just an unusual or overly tangy flavor. Ube is also usually sweet, never sour. I went to the counter to let the staff know because I was concerned about the freshness of the other cruffins. The cashier told me there was "no way" it could be spoiled because they had been made that morning, but then asked another coworker to taste the filling. She tried it twice but didn't really comment on the taste. They did offer to exchange the cruffin or provide a refund, which I appreciated, but at that point I was no longer comfortable eating it and wondered about the freshness of the other ones as well, so I opted for the refund. I've generally had good experiences with the food here, so this was definitely an off experience. Hopefully this was an isolated issue, but I'd be a little more cautious with the filled pastries and their freshness.

I ordered a drink online for pick up. I was running a bit behind (10 min) after a few errands that…read moretook longer than anticipated. The employee who gave me my drink showed it to his supervisor I guess because quite a bit of the ice had melted. He was told, "it's fine, it sat" with a who cares attitude. I was fine with the drink as I was late and I had not asked for a remake. Since it was quite diluted on top, I went over to stir the drink and remove the cover. The supervisor looked over at me then proceeded to tell the employee that it's not their problem if it's not picked up on time, they just make them when we give them a time. His attitude was very much "screw them if they are late." As I was standing right across from him, I said, "I heard you." He approached the area that leads to the dining room and said "I was talking to him, mind your business." As I have worked in customer service, managed service employees, and hire service reps, my comment to him was simply to bring awareness that his "customer" should not be witness to his complete disregard for them or their purchase. He became very aggressive and told me to get my drink and get out. I asked for his name and he refused and continued to tell me to get out and don't come back. I shared that I would be reporting his behavior and he responded, good. You are trespassed. I asked for what reason? and was told that he didn't like my attitude and that unless I didn't have a problem with him then to get out and he would call the police if I ever came back. He proceeded to tell me that he had plenty of customers and didn't need my business as he has 5 stores. Truthfully, I am happy not to return to this store or any other if this is the level of service provided by your employees. On my previous visit, I waited almost 10 minutes for my drink after it was to be ready and I had no issues or complaints with the staff. Things happen and I assume they did not hold up my drink on purpose. To not be extended the same courtesy as a paying customer is beyond mind boggling. There are too many similar bakeries in this area for me to stress over this location, but poor service bothers me and this was far beyond poor service.

My husband has just gone inside to see if there will ever be a server. Update: the server eventually showed up, took our order, and dropped it off. I think not having a server was better than the food and drinks that were delivered. The "mimosa" (didn't even go for bottomless, so this is even more disappointing) was just orange juice. Check the color in the photo. $10ish for a glass of orange juice hurts my soul. Also, the pizza was soggier than my armpits on a summer day in Louisiana. But wait, there's more! We tried to get a glass of prosecco so I could mix it with my orange juice. My husband wound up going inside, ordering it and paying for it at the bar, all because the server was (once again) missing! Absolutely wild that it's faster to bypass the server when you have a table, and the place isn't even busy. Two stars because we were here another time and the server wasn't dreadful that time.

The cinnamon roll was easily my favorite item. The cinnamon roll was pretty good with a good amount of icing and it's even better warmed up. The ganache brownie was the best brownie I had and warming it up is how it should always be eaten. The chocolate chip cookie is good but it needs to be warmed up to achieve the best taste. The bunny trail brownie (carrot cheesecake brownie) was very creative but it was just alright. The carrot cake whoopie was okay but it didn't really have the carrot cake flavor I was expecting, it tasted more like a spice cake which wasn't for me and I wouldn't get it again. All in all, i would definitely return and recommend the buzz.
