Chapters Cafe - La Costa

Public employee owned (library) coffee shop. If you like a place run like the post office with employees trying to avoid doing any work and hate their customers this place is for you.

This cafe is owned by the public library so the service is what you would expect from the a typical public do nothing entity like the DMV. The woman who work here are often rude and the service counter is frequently unstaffed with everyone working in the kitchen likely hiding from customers. This is typical of government owned services, i wish they would lease it out to a private business

Lisa, the owner, is so kind and you can tell she absolutely loves what she does! My hubby and I are vegan and I love that there are yummy options for us! The latte is amazing and perfect for a pick me up! Also loved these vegan bars!

The library is awesome but then it comes to this Cafe. The customer service is bad. I ask for a Fork and the over weight white lady gave me some attitude. Saying it 's for customers only . I mean come on it 's only a fork. So, I ask the coffee shop across the street. They where wayyyy nicer.

I ordered the Paden's Special and it was delicious. The bread was fresh the avacado was perfect. The staff was lovely and polite. I can't wait to go back and try something else.
