It was hot out and from lugging my suitcase throughout city of Chicago asi was using public transportation. I was thirsty so I stopped at Cafe Descartes in Midway airport. I asked the 2 women working there if i could have just a small glass of water only to be told it would be $5- AGAIN FOR A GLASS, NOT A BOTTLE OF WATER. THEN..The elderly lady who was after me simply asked for a plastic spoon(she had a yogurt she wanted to eat before she went thru security) & they told her - of course w/a nasty-a** attitude - they only get a certain amount so they cannot part with ONE(meanwhile they had a tin overflowing with them).. WOW! Loved the older women's response to them once she saw overflowing tin but il refrain from writing it.Great customer service?

The location inside the airport is a literal joke. If you want someone with long black hair making good for you to eat with no hair net be my guest. $10 for a tiny “protein box” of 8 grapes, four tiny celery sticks, a tablespoon of peanut butter and four slivers of apple. I ordered a chai and she didn’t even ring me up. Stood their waiting. Then she told me she didn’t ring me up for it. Why be open for breakfast when you don’t have anything to serve?! Absolute joke. You won’t last long in the airport with horrible service like that. SUCH A JOKE

The cutest coffee/matcha spot in Burbank. It's a great spot to enjoy your morning/afternoon beverage. There's seating inside and outside. Avriel is wonderful, she went above and beyond to help us choose a drink that fit our taste buds! Thank you, Avriel! Will come again soon :)

The staff was extremely rude and claimed to not know anything. I asked for a cup of water to go with a cup of milk I ordered, they said it would be 4.00 for a cup of water. They acted as if they were annoyed people were coming to order.

1:30pm and they are closed. No sign. No nothing. Just closed. Apparently after asking around they do this all the time. Well run business.

Terrible experience! I waited a half an hour to get a double espresso and they gave me a tiny little espresso cup and when I asked for a small coffee cup so I could add a little cream because there was no room to add any cream in the little Dixie cup they gave me they refused to give me one and said that’s the cup it came in and I wasn’t allowed to have a little bigger cup! Ridiculous! It’s not like I didn’t buy anything and they acted like a small cup was gonna break them! Worst customer service and the espresso wasn’t even warm! Don’t waste your time or money!

Shady business practices lead to the stores’ suffering. The owner takes advantage of eager young workers and then doesn’t give them enough support, resulting in not enough consistent staff or supplies.
