**Update:
Why didn't we raise the issue of the food/coffee? My partner has confrontation anxiety.
Why did I write this update?
Turns out the owner will send you a passive aggressive private message if you don't like his cafe arguing his defence.**
So, I haven't written a review for some time now. My excuse? My reason? My girlfriend.
Anyway, so today, we (the girlfriend, a friend and myself) thought perhaps we should venture to a nice little cafe local to her place.
...And so the adventure began. First stop, Yelp!
Which clearly has become a sad inconsistent reality in which any moron that thinks if food comes on a wooden chopping block, must be good!
Okay so the good (kinda):
The staff (well, the one that served us) were very pleasant. Professional, no. But pleasant, yes. Why you wonder? Well think back to when you were 12 and your mother told you why your drunk father isn't around anymore and th- ...hm, no wait wrong story? ...Well, it proves my point. A waste of time. Because when we asked about what the specials were. He had no idea. There were two. Only two, and the girlfriend knew one so why didn't he know either of them?!
The decor was very hipster. Nice art works on the wall, good location, and has live music on Friday nights (but I don't trust it. Like their menu).
So, the bad. The so very bad:
FOOD:
The menu, over price for what the food was/is. The photos you see on this Yelp profile are clearly old. Because NONE of these photographed dishes were on the menu. And I assure you the price for what the food was, was a joke! Garbage. The kitchen is too small for what they're trying to achieve. Aka being a cafe.
COFFEE:
Now, the big guns. If you're a small cafe, you need to make sure the coffee is amazing.
And this place. I honestly thought I had the worst once upon a time in a galaxy far far away. But no. This coffee was SHIT. BLOODY SHOCKINGLY TERRIBLE!!! Like how!?! How!!?!?! It's almost worth going to this place to just try it! The girlfriend didn't even finish her coffee!!
Anyway. One star, easy one star. I'd give it half a star, but can't.
I'm glad I have a glass of scotchy scotch with me at the moment. Eases the pain. read more
