At this "cafe” the staff is rude and the food is barely eatable. And the staff working there can never get your order correct. But they have a captive clientele and make sure that you know it. The owner is never there and any complaints to the staff all on deaf ears. I have a disorder that is food restricted (no spicy foods)
I ordered a Breakfast Burrito with tomatoes, instead of tomatoes she put jalapeno peppers on it . I was sick for a week. When I complained and explain that it made me sick all I got was a blank stare and a lame I’m sorry. Run! Do not walk to the nearest exit.
