I waited 15 minutes to be cashed out for a coffee I had already recieved. When someone came back up to the front, I said that I just needed to pay for my coffee. The worker didn’t acknowledge me but, went ahead and grabbed cookies for a person behind me asking for some to be added to their order they hadn’t paid for yet. She got their meal, cookies, and cashed them out. She finally cashed me out, the tap machine wasn’t working so I offered to pay cash. After I gave her the cash, she turned her back and I stood there waiting for change, she started assisting the next customer, I asked for my change. She replied that they didn’t give change back. To act like you don’t see me still by the counter, and assist the next customer is odd. She acknowledged all the male customers when walking in from a back door but couldn’t acknowledge me or just cash me out for a coffee that I received 10 minutes ago. This is not the first time one of the female workers has been caddy to me. I will not be returning.

I have received wrong orders, incomplete orders several times from EM Tea. I have tried to be patient with them but the attitude of just call door dash and get a refund is very bad customer service. Especially to someone who has supported your business. After today I am done with this establishment.

The last time I was there the OWNER was very rude. She kept stating they don’t take cash app during my check out. I told her I wasn’t using cash app and I don’t even have a cash app card. She continued to talk over the very nice cashier who was assisting me. I’m not sure why she kept stating they didn’t take cash app even though there are hand made signs stating just that all over the place. The experience was very off putting and I haven’t been back since.

Accessibility is not the greatest. The font for the menu isn't suited for legibility, which is exacerbated by the dim lighting. There's a divot in the floor that's covered up by a rug that I tripped over, as there's no warning that states it's there.

Prices also aren't listed on the menu, and ordering was rather confusing overall. The food was good and was priced fairly, but the menu isn't very clear as to what foods come with additional items at times. Chat with the cashier was a very awkward experience.

Overall, I'm glad I tried it once, but I wouldn't personally come back, mainly due to the accessibility issues and safety concerns with the floor.

Happy I found this hidden gem on the east side was first greeted by the owner Kat which is a very nice sweet woman had an appointment nearby was just trying to kill 15 minutes of my time ordered a iced latte which was pretty good Kat explain to me at the time that they didn't have their normal product in as she was waiting on the delivery that I could try this should drink out see how I liked it and if it wasn't to my expectation that it was on the house which I try to sit thought it was pretty good offered to pay for the drink she said it was on the house which I highly appreciate for the first time being in came back in a couple hours later with my wife and son I know it was relatively busy at the moment my second time being in been in the food service business myself for 20 years has a chef so I can understand one dealing with rushes and you have different workers try to deal with different customers and different orders how there could be some sort of confusion from the front of the house to the back of the house when it comes to orders and not getting the right orders out to the right customers which wasn't that big of a deal to me personally I know I personally ordered a steak breakfast burrito which was pretty good I know somehow there's some sort of confusion or mix up our miscommunication where somebody thought I ordered a extra steak burrito personally being in this type of business myself I didn't want to take somebody else's order that wasn't mine offered to pay for this order this personally I don't like seeing food go to waste or business owners losing out on money just because of order Mix-Ups offer to pay for the item yet again they said it was on the house which I highly appreciate got two orders of pancakes home fries and turkey bacon I tried a little bit of the home fries which was pretty good also got a wild berry smoothie I personally ordered a mango and pina colada smoothie which was pretty good super friendly staff and pretty chill atmosphere Cafe so glad to have this place in our community and the owner is an awesome woman on top of it

I haven’t gone in person but I order delivery often from them at least once a week. Their food is amazing along with the smoothies I love to get. This is their fish and grits with a side of home fries and Texas toast. Very generous portions and overall delicious!

Fast service, good atmosphere and delicious breakfast sandwiches!

I love the fish breakfast with the two sides of whatever your choice and they will call you if they don't have a certain item

The food is delicious and very reasonably priced! The container holding my tasty cake was a lot like trying to get Fort Knox open, but we persevered!

They are a little pricey for them to use fake frozen chicken when I say I ordered a chicken panini and bit into it to find 3 strips of frozen chen not my ideal of chicken never again

Service is always pleasant with accuracy. I love this hidden gem tucked in the heart of the Canisus College community. Btw the fish is grits were very good.

My girlfriend and I ordered two bacon egg and cheese’s and a vanilla latte to go, no one there new how to make a latte and they didn’t have milk so she couldn’t even get anything else she wanted. Absolutely ridiculous and overpriced.
