What Rodrigo Dooley likes about 38 Espresso:
We came here just for simple coffee, and got a pretty good one too. Whilst we did not eat, the meals being served to other tables looked awesome. Pancakes piled high with fresh fruit, bacon cooking on an outside BBQ Obviously one of the more popular spots for breakfast going by the number of people here. View all feedback. What Prudence Legros doesn't like about 38 Espresso:
the personal can have a way to be polite to be rude. while waiting for my takeaway coffee, manager heard humiliating a junior staff before customers poor woman saw terrified atmosphere appears very casual, could not distinguish coworkers of customers coffee is good. not excellent, not bad.
