As a regular at De Mello Coffee, I thought I'd give this place a try, but I was met with terrible customer service. When my friend and I walked in, we found two open bar stools, so we ordered and sat down. However, we were soon asked to vacate our seats for other customers, despite there being no "Reserved" sign on the stools and the fact that we had already taken them. The woman at the cash register informed us that it was first come, first served, yet she had promised the seats to other customers who had ordered later. I was frustrated by their failure to differentiate between 'first come, first served' and reservations. Additionally, I couldn't shake the feeling that there may have been a racial bias involved in their decision to take our seats. We decided to cancel our orders and leave. I'm not seeking any justification from the owner for this unpleasant experience, and I won't be returning to this establishment.

I went to the restaurant on Sunday with my wife and our two kids.
