This extends to begrudgingly giving cold glasses of water during the Summer so that a patron can cool down before having a hot drink, speaking ill of certain patrons (even when they are in the coffee shop, and periodically checking the back porch for trespassers. To her, until you purchase something, you don 't deserve her attention; she doesn 't make the effort to be hospitable until at least after the first drink, and even then, only for so long (by her own admission. Notwithstanding her, however, the coffee shop is great. The others who work there are as friendly as can be, and the service is usually prompt and flawless. They make you feel like a regular quickly, as they will have your usual memorized after only a few visits. Lastly, the coffee shop is conveniently located within easy walking distance of five pokestops and two Gyms, for those who are interested. Admittedly, this would be a four-star review if the problem were only with one of the part-time baristas, as the issue would likely be resolved before too long. However, since the owner has been more and more present lately and is unlikely to leave, the customer service problem is more serious than it would otherwise be. The vibe that she gives off is such that I do not patronize the shop while she is watching it, although I happily do when anyone else is on shift.
