“Wonderful cafe with a horribly racist patron. Shade Bar was the perfect place to end our girls day, my two friends and myself decided to get a crepe and catch up in the outdoor dining area. The crepe was delicious, hot, and perfectly chewy and the servers were very kind! However, our experience took a turn for the worse when an older woman walks in to sit and order a cup of tea. This woman seemed to be a regular, as she not-so-politely ordered the waitress to turn on the heat. Anyways, being rude to waitstaff is strike number one in my book. But the antics do not stop here…. As my friends and I were conversing about our days, the same woman yells from across the outdoor dining area for us to be quiet, huffed and puffed, and said a few other choice words. My friends and I, stunned at this extremely out of pocket remark, stayed a few more minutes and decided to leave because this woman was very clearly not well in the head. As we got up to go, I said to the woman “that was not kind of you to speak to us like that, that was uncalled for. I’ll be hoping you have a better day” to which she replied “oh yeah? Well I’ll be praying for you all to LEAVE THIS COUNTRY AND GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM” screaming at my friends and I. My friend promptly went inside to tell the staff, and I’m not sure what was done from that point on, but I feel horribly sorry for the waitstaff that needed to deal with her rude personality. This woman needs to realize that she is sitting in one of the most diverse cities in the world, and if she doesn’t like it then she can leave. I hope that if you decide to visit this cute little cafe on a Sunday afternoon, that you do not run into this miserable, rude, and racist woman.”
