Good pastry and coffee delivered with a sneering inefficiency and gobsmacking rudeness
Clement Bakery Cake & Coffee的点评
点评:I first came to Clement when it was relatively new back in 2022. A small pocket of tables indoors and out and polite friendly service. Brilliant pastries.
It’s doubled in size since then and simply cannot cope with the volume of customers. The staff were easily the rudest I’ve ever experienced on the island. Until this year I’d never in decades witnessed poor service in resort. Ever. Passive aggressive and despite 5 serving staff they were completely lacking the basic efficiency to cope with 10 outside tables and a handful indoors. We are talking about the ability to take pastries from a counter alongside 3-4 coffees and bring them to a table within 30 mins. The highlight was a member of my family ordering a ‘cafe con leche’ and a ‘latte’ and being told really, really smarmily that they ‘were the same thing’. Given that she had waited 40 mins to even have her order taken - requesting it in Spanish and then being corrected without a single hint of humour or kindness is incredible. Let alone another order for oat milk in a drink being incorrectly made in whole milk.
Do better. Be efficient. Be friendly. Be professional. You’ve got better competition around the corner at Cafe Noir. It shouldn’t take a member of my family giving up on waiting 40 minutes for an a wildly extravagant order of 3 already baked ensaimada’s and getting them herself from the manager at the counter. If you want full fat patronisation, a 40 minute to place an order, 40 plus minute wait for said order to be delivered and to then be greeted by ‘understand we only have two arms and legs and we are very busy’.
翻译:我第一次来 Clement 是在 2022 年,当时它还比较新。室内和室外只有一小块桌子,服务人员彬彬有礼、友好热情。糕点很棒。
从那时起,它的规模扩大了一倍,根本无法应对如此多的顾客。这里的工作人员是我在岛上遇到过的最粗鲁的。直到今年,几十年来,我从未见过度假村的服务如此糟糕。从来没有。他们态度消极,尽管有 5 名服务人员,但他们完全没有基本的效率来应对 10 张室外桌子和几张室内桌子。我们说的是能够在 30 分钟内从柜台上取下糕点和 3-4 杯咖啡,并将它们送到桌子上。最精彩的是,我的一个家人点了一杯“牛奶咖啡”和一杯“拿铁”,却被非常非常狡猾地告知“它们是同一种东西”。考虑到她等了 40 分钟才有人给她点菜——用西班牙语点菜,然后服务员毫无幽默感或善意地纠正她,这真是令人难以置信。更不用说另一份燕麦奶饮料订单被错误地变成了全脂牛奶。
做得更好。要高效。要友好。要专业。你在 Cafe Noir 的竞争对手更厉害。我的家人不应该放弃等待 40 分钟来订购 3 份已经烤好的恩赛玛达,然后自己从柜台经理那里拿到。如果你想要全额光顾,下订单要 40 分钟,等订单送来要 40 多分钟,然后听到“请理解我们只有两条胳膊和腿,我们很忙”的问候。
