Horrible experience the barista basically spent 10 minutes taking and laughing with who I assume was a friend while people kept coming in and the line got longer. She kept touching her face, ended up throwing my drink.

Food is alright, but the service is what makes the experience worse. I have been to this second cup many times as a last resort for a coffee on weekends when the other second cup is closed. Each time I am greeted coldly and the employees wont even make eye contact, let alone mutter a "hello". I asked to pay cash and the girl sighed, and when she got me my change she practically threw it into my hands. I understand having bad days, especially in University, but each time I have come in hoping something can make up for the rude service, I always leave feeling the same as before; disappointed. They will barely speak to you, and when they do they speak to you, it is as if it's the last thing they'd rather do, but then turn around, ignore your presence, and talk to their coworker like you don't exist. Even when telling them to "have a great day", all it is met with is a glance and then they move on as if I don't exist. It makes you feel small, and like you don't matter. I understand the struggles of working customer service, and I know it is not always easy, but it's not fair to be acting this way both for the company and the customer. Please do better.

I enjoyed my drink and food that I ordered. The staff is very nice, and it is a great study spot.

Le propriotaire a été grossier et a parlé dans un langage provocateur. J'ai pris mon petit-déjeuner et je me suis assis pour attendre un ami. Pendant ce temps, le propriotaire est entré dans les lieux et s'est approché de moi et m'a dit que je ne devais pas rester ici si vous ne buvais pas quelque chose. Quand je lui ai dit que je venais de finir mon café, il m'a dit de demander autre chose ou de quitter les lieux.
