I 've spent thousands with Doppio through the years bought my new ECM machine from them, went on their barista course with my partner, pretty much bought all my coffee from them for the past two years and I can honestly say I will never set foot in there again. I have noticed the staff being a lot less friendly in the past few visits but yesterday took the biscuit. I walked 40 minutes across the river from my home to their shop to get my steps in and pick up a kilo bag of beans. Despite this being 1pm in the afternoon (and the shop was supposed to be open) I was met with a sign stating that they are out to lunch . I waited for half an hour for them to open the door and sell me some beans in the middle of the day. When the employee finally came to the door he just opened it and walked out, past us poor customers queuing outside and went to get something from a local cash and carry for 15 minutes. To make this clear he was sitting inside with the doors locked while his customers queued outside at a time the place was supposed to be open. Time is the one commodity that is more valuable than coffee and I am absolutely livid that this person wasted 30 minutes of mine, he just smirked and said nothing when I complained. I don 't normally do rants on social media, the only reason i 'm going public with this is because I emailed the owner directly and he didn 't bother to reply in the past 24 hours. AVOID this place at all costs.
