I ordered a large oatmilk latte to go. The cashier asked if I wanted it hot or iced and I said, "hot". When they put a small, iced latte in a glass mug on the counter, I assumed it was for one of the other customers. It went unclaimed, more drinks went by, and when the people behind me in line collected their drinks, I finally told the barrista I ordered a large, hot, oat milk latte. They then made me a small hot oat milk latte but I had been there so long it wasn't worth correcting them again. It wasn't the barrista's fault- despite what I ordered, my email reciept shows the cashier rang it up as a medium iced latte.
The drink itself was good and I didn't see anyone else having these problems, so I feel bad giving a 1 or 2 star review. But, it was so hot and muggy in there at 10am - no AC and at least 10 degrees warmer than outside, and much more humid. Sign outside said they open at 8am but at 10am they were sweeping and giving off "we just opened" vibes.
Oatmilk was a $1.40 upcharge on the medium size. Types of milk and milk upcharges were not listed anywhere.
I had never seen this place before, it wasn't on Yelp, and they had stuff piled in the corners, so I figured it was pretty new and planned to give them a, "looks like they're still figuring things out" type of review. Turns out it has been open almost a year.
Coffee is fair trade, so that's positive. I really wanted to like this place but between the order snafu, the mugginess, and the exorbitant oat milk upcharge which is not listed anywhere (and I've never seen more than 75 cents), not even being a worker owned cooperative was enough for me to bump this place up. If 3 stars equals, "A-OK", this place is just below that.
