    Starbucks needs to retrain all employees about the Ally Law & Laura's Law

    We were at T Mobile and our 9 year old daughter really needed to use the restroom so my wife took her to Starbucks next door. The manager on duty told my wife "They need to buy something for her to use the bathroom" "Thats the policy" They pointed at a sign near the door and nothing on that sign says you have to make a purchase to use the restroom. My question on this is. How does a business who has a public restroom known if someone has a medical condition or not without providing documents? Our child has a medical condition and this Starbucks denied her access to the restroom. This message below is for everyone to read and understand. If you don't understand this then Google. Laura's Law Restroom Access Act: California's Restroom Access Act, also known as \"Laura's Law," requires businesses that sell goods and have employee restrooms to allow individuals with eligible medical conditions to use the employee restroom. Ally Law Ally's Law requires that retail businesses with employee toilet facilities allow customers with specific medical conditions to access them if the need arises. People with certain medical conditions, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), sometimes need to use the restroom urgently. This can be difficult if they are out of the house or workplace, as not all businesses have public restrooms. Many states in the United States have passed the Restroom Access Act, also known as Ally's Law, to acknowledge this medical need. Read on to learn more about Ally's Law, including where it applies and how it works. Ally's Law requires retail establishments to allow people with certain medical conditions, such as IBD, to access an employee restroom if no public facilities are available and they have an urgent need. The law got its name from Ally Bain, a young woman from Illinois who has IBD. As of 2015, approximately 3 million adultsTrusted Source in the U.S. reported having IBD, which includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. When Ally was 14 years old and shopping with her mother in a large retail store, she experienced a Crohn's disease flare, which included a sudden urge to use the restroom. There were no public restrooms, so she asked to use the employee restroom. The manager denied Ally access, and she had an accident in the store. Ally and her mother met with Illinois state representative Kathy Ryg to draft a bill allowing people to use an employee restroom if they have a medical condition and are in urgent need. The bill became law in Illinois in August 2005. Since then, several other states have passed the Restroom Access Act. Ally's Law falls under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. This Act protects people with disabilities from discrimination Examples of some of the conditions that fall under the Restroom Access Act include: Crohn's disease ulcerative colitis other types of IBD irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) any condition involving the use of an ostomy device any permanent or temporary condition requiring immediate access to a restroom Ally's Law also covers pregnancy as a medical condition in some states

I wish I wrote down what I ordered but luckily, I did take a picture. I ordered: Ham and Cheese, Almond, French Custard, Black Sesame, Passion Fruit Ganache, Cheese and Mushroom, Shrimp, and lastly, a kouign-amann. They also had a pastrami one that I wanted to try but they were sold out. Everything was delicious and buttery, as a croissant should be. Nothing was too sweet nor too salty however, I would recommend pairing it with either a nice cup of coffee or tea. My favorite so far was the cheese and mushroom and the kuign-amann but honestly, you cant go wrong with anything. Price wise, they started around $6 each which, for the quality you are getting, I believe is fairly priced. The staff were all very lively and super friendly. Also, the smell of freshly made croissants is absolutely intoxicating. I will definitely return to try the other items as well as their coffee.

    Just an excellent place to be!…read more A friend had heard rave reviews about their authentic Argentinian empanadas and we were so happy to come and try it out on a Saturday afternoon. Parking was busy (the lot is shared with Trader Joe's) but we managed to find a spot and head into the busy but not packed cafe. There is a large assortment of empanadas, from meat options like chorizo and chicken, to vegetarian like corn and onion, to sweet options too like apples. The menu also boasts lots of great drinks including mate tea! Lucky us, the empanadas we ordered weren't in stock so we had to wait ~10 for freshly baked ones. They came out buttery and piping hot, even with little hand-stamped letters on them so you know what you're eating, and it was so delicious. Most are about $5.50 each. Add oregano chimichurri for a bit extra if you want or pair with a tea, but these empanadas really hit the snacky spot. Lots of wooden tables with fresh flowers make Pampas a great space to chat with friends or to sit and do some work. The most standout feature was the friendly and efficient staff who seem to build connections with everybody who walks in the door. Worth a drive to Castro Valley! Especially if you bring cash for a 10% discount off a dozen :)

Not only are you able to purchase from their bakery case, you can also request to have desserts made for special events! (In advance of course.) I very much enjoy their macarons and fresh fruit tarts. They also added Banana Matcha to their menu when it became a craze, and I 10/10 would recommend it. They use high quality matcha powder (Marukyu Koyamaen) for their drinks. This is one of the few things that drew me into their cafe. The baristas are extremely friendly and have a wonderful sense of humor, AND they support small businesses! While you wait for your order, you can browse their shelf full of crystal candies, matcha sets, candles, and they may also have Natsume matcha tins available! (This is not the matcha they use in their drinks, but it's nice to have other options available to buy.) ^^ So if you're in the East Bay and are looking for a business to support, go to Always Yours Bakery Cafe (they're also available on the Too Good To Go app)! They have beautiful outdoor seating available, as well as cutesy seating indoors. Not sponsored or anything, I just wanted to review one of my favourite cafes in Castro Valley. ^^
