Bean Counter Cafe - Provost

Within minutes a steaming bowl of homemade soup and topping heaped pizza (on a wholewheat pita) arrived. Super tasty...and filling, it was a treat. I grabbed a latte to go and hit the road, very satisfied. One thing, the washroom is tiny, not for long-legged sitters because you have to dodge the furnace.

We ordered a latte, a tea, and an extremely dry cinnamon bun. We were not impressed by the food or the service and do not plan on stopping here again.

It was my first time going and the server seemed irritated to take my order. I didn't realize they didn't have food menus, so I had to ask to be directed to their board of sandwich and soup options. Despite only being one of 3-4 customers, it took a long time to receive my meal, which was their special for the day. This was surprising as specials are usually quick at most places. The portion of soup was disappointingly small for the price. Throughout my meal, I felt uncomfortable as both the cook and server kept staring at me. The food was not good and the soup was bland. I decided to leave early because of the uncomfortable atmosphere. I won't be returning to this restaurant. It's a shame because most coffee shops like this are usually excellent, but this one was a letdown.
