I’ve been coming here for years and it’s always been good! The only thing I’m sad about is they use to have this fabulous mushroom toast with beet hummus and it’s gone 🥲

I am absolutely disappointed. I was taken away from the bad service from the start, but once the food came I cut them some slack because it was yummy, afterwards tho the waiter DEMANDED a tip even asking us “Are you guys from America?” That was the most disrespectful experience I’ve ever had.
This comment was very inappropriate and I hope they can revise their staff.

Bright Side cafe... I looked forward to indulging in your menu for a while. Due to the circumstance of my first order, I CANNOT indulge in your coffee or your cuisine anymore.
My order was forty-seven and some change. I didn't mind it due to the fact I had other breakfast spots that were more costly than this. I left a ninety-one cent tip, I should have left one. I order two breakfast buns, a chai latte, and a regular latte (both of the lattes had the seasonal flavors, maple and vanilla). In a coffee shop in the area (copper mug), it would have been better for less than what I paid. The guy taking my order kept rolling his eyes at me, kept sighing, and being extremely disrespectful by talking about the customers to his coworkers while customers were waiting.
I made modifications to one of the sandwiches, due to the fact I have IBS and GERD. I asked for NO Hot Honey, NO cheese, and Jalapeños on the side. They ignored all of my modifications and gave me the sandwich as it came. They also took twenty to thirty minutes with making my order. After taking a bite of the sandwich, I threw it out due to the fact i did not know this would have the things that would trigger my GERD.
The one without modifications (for my brother), he said it hurt his stomach and tasted awfully. He said it tasted artificial and did not justify the seventeen dollar price tag.
The drinks... THE DRINKS... someone better check on who's buying the ingredients due to the fact it was horrific. The latte tasted like sugary milk, the chai tasted like soy milk with a tiny bit of cinnamon. The entire fiasco with the drinks was disgusting.
DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU WANTED SOMETHING GOOD. THE ONLY THING GOOD IS THE ATMOSPHERE.

The guy who run this place is dodgy. I bought something off him a few years ago (Raise a Cup poster) which never arrived — they responded once saying they would send it but then they never did, and have stopped responding to my emails asking for either a refund or to send the poster.
So, Ryan, can I please either get the poster sent or have a refund?

This place has the worst service I’ve ever experienced. The staff just stares at you like you’re bothering them by being there. Nobody smiles, nobody’s friendly, it’s just super uncomfortable. They really need to hire nicer people who actually want to be there.

I had a cortado and the bright bowl and sat outside - it was all lovely! Staff was great too, will be coming back to brave the vegemite on the menu for the true Aussie experience.
Food was great and arrived quickly, staff was really nice to us. A good experience that deserves more than 4 stars!

I really wanted to like this restaurant bc I live in the building and it would be very convenient if they made good coffee, but they don’t. The bodega across the street has far better coffee and smoothies. Furthermore, the wait is tremendously long and all of the lovely plants they once had are dying.
