The decor is quirky and bohemian. Makes you really want to spend time here.
The bathrooms are dirty, and looks like they don't stock them with toilet paper, etc.
Honestly, I would give them one star if I could for their horrendous service and dismissive attitudes.
I came in two days ago and inquired about their working hours on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to make sure they worked during my stay on Terceira Island - on December 29th, 30th, 31st, and January 1st. I was told that they are open despite the New Year's and that they would be "happy to serve me". The bar staff confirmed the hours they had posted on Facebook and Yelp open until midnight - on Friday and Saturday were the hours for this week.
Yesterday, on December 29th, I came at 9:45 pm and was told that the kitchen was closed. Flabbergasted, I asked why (maybe something broke?) and was told they close at 10:00 pm. Keep in mind, there were ten other patrons and no one seemed to be leaving; everyone was merrily eating and drinking.
Chugging it up to a case of simple misunderstanding, I decided to return today. At 6:30 pm, on December 30th, the four of us walked into the cafe. We were told that there were no spots for us because they had one reservation! There were three empty tables, with only one designated as reserved.
There was a table with two chairs and two bar stools. I asked if we could split up. Again, I wanna told a vehement "no". The bar stools were only for customers ordering drinks! Because I wanted to order food, I wasn't allowed to sit there!
Incredulous, I asked if they would be willing to give me food to go -- all I wanted was two veggie burgers. The bar staff said it would take 45 minutes for them to make two veggie burgers and we couldn't stand around and wait for them - we needed to leave and come back.
Now, I know when I am being discriminated against as a tourist and this has been the worst case of discrimination I have ever experienced.
I am not sure what they took issues with but it wa clearly something against us!
We were all dressed in varying degrees of formal - from business casual to jeans. We are Americans who clearly can afford their menu - 2,50 Euro per burger. We are the same age as their patrons and bar staff. We do not speak Portuguese beyond the rudimentary "hello."
They clearly didn't want this American's business, and I would encourage you not to give them yours! read more
