This place is awesome. The caffeinated beverages are perfect and the humans that prepare them are funny and kind, and know how to make their customers feel at home. I look very forward mornings that I make it in before work <3
Great spot to meet friends, business partners, or sit down and get some work done. Coffee is good and the staff is friendly. If the weather is nice sit outside and enjoy the hustle of Hastings.
I got weird vibes from the staff there. Almost like they were annoyed. Mediocre sandwich for over $8. The baked goods looked good, maybe that’s more their specialty.
I also felt it was rude after over hearing a man accidentally asks for a double double and staff responded by saying “this isn’t tim hortons” ..seeing the guy appearing embarrassed and saying I’m sorry. We all know what a double double is anyway. I could also hear the staff asking for a day off and the owner lecturing him about the expectations of working at the cafe. These conversations should be done privately, not in front in your customers.
Response to the owner. Clearly this customer wasn’t feeling it was Tongue and cheek, he clearly looked belittled and then apologized to the staff. Perhaps using a different tone of voice would direct the humour your going for with customers? As for the sandwich comment, I figured you be curious as to why I felt that way about the quality but it seems like your comment went a different way . and confirmed the vibes I experienced from The staff to begin with. Perhaps reviewing graceful professionalism would benefit your store. All the best.!
