点评:The building that this coffee store in is a stunning piece of architecture and when you wander inside it is beautifully converted. But... one should not judge a book by its cover.
I asked if they had a breakfast menu, they pointed to the glass display and I asked if there was a chance I could have something simpler... like toast. The young lady asked if they had any bread, there was none so they referred us to another cafe. I found this action to be utterly bizarre... the lack of choices was peculiar but that does happen. What was more unusual is the lack of smile. Either way we left and had breakfast a few doors up.
However, based on the name of the this cafe... I still held out hope and we returned for takeaway coffee. The service ( different staff this time) also did not come with a smile, in fact... it was quite ordinary. It appeared as though the staff were disinterested in being there. Waiting for coffee gave us more opportunity to look around and it truly is a remarkably attractive cafe.
But then the last blow came... the coffee was average. Really average. We were in town for business reasons and one of those reasons was that we had a new person starting in her role... I mentioned to her when we arrived at the offices that I was a tad disappointed with the coffee and she told me I should have asked her first... she had tried the coffee and will not return.
I am really hoping this business was just having a bad day because how could it be possible that such an attractive cafe has substandard service and ordinary coffee.
翻译:这家咖啡店所在的建筑是一座令人惊叹的建筑,当你漫步其中时,它被改造得非常漂亮。但是……人们不应该以貌取人。
我问他们是否有早餐菜单,他们指着玻璃显示屏,我问我是否可以吃一些更简单的东西……比如吐司。那位年轻女士问他们是否有面包,没有,所以他们推荐我们去另一家咖啡馆。我发现这个动作非常奇怪……缺乏选择很奇怪,但确实发生了。更不寻常的是缺乏微笑。不管怎样,我们离开了,在几扇门外吃早餐。
然而,根据这家咖啡馆的名字……我仍然抱有希望,我们回来买了外卖咖啡。服务(这次不同的工作人员)也没有微笑,事实上,这很普通。看起来工作人员似乎对在那里不感兴趣。等待咖啡的时间让我们有更多的机会四处看看,这确实是一家非常有吸引力的咖啡馆。
但最后的打击来了……咖啡很一般。真的很平均。我们出于业务原因来到城里,其中一个原因是我们有一个新人开始担任她的角色...当我们到达办公室时我向她提到我对咖啡有点失望,她告诉我我应该先问她...她已经尝试过咖啡并且不会再回来了。
我真的希望这家店只是度过了糟糕的一天,因为如此有吸引力的咖啡馆怎么可能有不合格的服务和普通的咖啡。
