Ignored by the counter staff chit chat on cell phone almost left. A nice guy came and helped but I will say there was an uncomfortable feeling going on behind the counter between the workers.

Refused to accept my cash for "safety" reasons. My exact change and tip, even. Yet I came in because it stated I COULD use cash. I'm on the inside looking at it in the photo.
Just say you don't want to serve people homeless people. Don't pretend it's for safety.
The scones are VERY inconsistent day to day. One time they're moist and the next hard as a rock.
Also, $10.22 for a scone and a drip coffee.
And they have the nerve to ask for a tip at those prices after I stood in line. Nope.

I had a very strange experience today when the guy who made my drink lied to my face about what it was. A grande latte is what he called it for "laural." I was standing next to the pickup location. The name I gave had been Lauren. "Is this the 16oz vanilla latte?". To which he replied yes. "And there's vanilla in it?" To which he responded yes again. It was not. Why lie? Just say you didn't know/forgot and that's fine. Now I just feel icky about this establishment.

Very friendly younger staff. Had a great gal take my order. Delectable latte’s. Breakfast menu goes berserk with deliciousness out the wahzoo. Free WiFi, great ambiance and some decent music playing. I wish they’d give the young folks the aux.
Vegetarian options: A whole lot of vegetarian options.
Dietary restrictions: Just ask! Check menu first!
Parking: Lot on side of building, street building.
Kid-friendliness: Very friendly.
Wheelchair accessibility: Roll up!

I walked in around 7:05am, and I stood there for 15 minutes before the single person in front of me was even acknowledged. I get being busy, but to not even acknowledge your customers for 15 minutes. Seems really weird. I left without ordering.

Got the CATE. Was decent but lacked flavor and was kind of mushy. My favourite is still the Bialy though.
