As a coffee lover, this is my absolute favorite coffee spot, even after spending a few years in Southern California. The staff always suggests great drinks for me, and they have never steered me wrong.

She knows my wife’s usual order, but instead of asking both of us, she went straight to my wife and asked, “Just your cold brew?” A simple, “What can I get you two?” would have been much more appropriate. While I appreciate that she remembers regulars' orders, good customer service means acknowledging all customers equally. This barista often comes across as rude and brusque, a sentiment my wife has echoed, noting that she appears to be frequently “in a funk and rude.” This type of behavior shouldn't be overlooked as just her personality. I would appreciate it if management could address this situation—unless she is, in fact, management. I really don’t want to start my day with someone else's negative energy when all I'm looking for is my morning coffee.
