Standard Cafe

My 80-something grandfather, who is hard of hearing, has been a loyal customer at Standard Café , and all he ever orders is soup. Last week friday just a few minutes after 2 o’clock, he walked in unaware that the soup was no longer available—and what happened next was heartbreaking. The girl with glasses at the entrance, smoking a hookah pen while on duty, spoke about him in Spanish in a cruel and degrading way because he couldn’t hear properly. My grandfather, a kind and longtime customer, was humiliated in front of others. Where is the respect for our elders? Where is basic human decency? I am shocked, disgusted, and heartbroken. No one, especially someone elderly, should ever be treated this way. Standard Café, please do better.

I’ve been going to this location for many years, even when it was called Coffeed. I always just buy coffee/juice, and possibly kosher food items like fruit and protein bars. They’ve let me enjoy my own kosher items, while drinking their drinks.

Coffeed had a better selection of coffee, but Standard’s coffee and fresh orange juice is quality. The counter lady is nice.

However, after my experiences earlier yesterday, I would not recommend the place to anyone. Do not expect to be properly treated as a customer here.
The place has an employee entrance, as well as a shop entrance to the street, which should be boarded up, as you will not receive any grace for your patronage. There also is a back game room/lounge, usually empty but wide open to customers, which should be placed under lock and key, based upon my experience yesterday morning.

I was trying to repack my bags and recharge my phone, and was sent a security guard, rather than a store employee, to tell me I couldn’t do that and that I needed to leave.

When I asked for extra time, they told me to leave immediately. They proceeded to take all my items and place them on the street. I stayed a while, on the street, to repack, and no one offered assistance.

Not such caring people, but they’ll serve you coffee.

Hours incorrect

The drip coffee was burnt. Think they use a hotplate so the coffee is heated for long time causing it to over heat. The wifi also didnt work.

Went there to get a sandwich, walked in at 2pm. Someone is there, asked for a sandwich, she proceeds to tell me there are closed. Update your sign to say you close at 2pm not 3pm.

Wonderful café! It’s a great stop for the area.

I had the New Yorker sandwich and was pleasantly surprised on how good it was. All the way around it was a nice experience.
