"Mediocre quality with even worse service."…read more
I come here quite a bit - although, I'm really not sure why. Let me start with the good news: the coffee is not terrible. It's not good, either, but it's exceedingly average. In terms of the definitive ranking of coffee on the plaza, Joe Van Gogh is a clear first, followed by here, and then a close third is ABP. Unfortunately, the service here is perhaps the worst on campus. Now I don't like to be rude - although I might have a penchant for the dramatic - but it's truly unbearable. They have two registers, so it's a guessing game as to which will serve you first. Then, you have to wait to be served. I have waited at the register for over 2-3 minutes, repeatedly trying to make eye contact with anyone who is working there, only to continue to be ignored, with not even a slight recognition that, in fact, they did see me and are going to serve me when they are ready. I have been asked to go to the other register, only to have the person directly behind me be served immediately, and I have had to actually leave the Café because it had been so long without service. Honestly, if you can, go to Joe Van Gogh, and if it's closed, save yourself the headache and go to ABP - the quality might be a little worse, but at least you'll be served.
FOOD/COFFEE QUALITY (1.5/5)
* I can only really speak to the coffee, but it's mediocre.
* Other friends have said that the crepes are mediocre.
SERVICE (0.5/5)
* I've said everything I need to say above.
* In a word, ugh.
AMBIANCE (2/5)
* This is probably its strong point. Located in West Union, the ambiance and feel is great.
FOOD/COFFEE SELECTION (4/5)
* Rather wide - crepes, sandwiches, and a full coffee bar.
Rounds down to 1/5 stars.
