"I like their coffee. I usually get an iced americano. I also get their blueberry muffin which is really good.I 'm giving them a 2 star rating because of their customer service and disregard for it. I 'm a student at Southwestern Law and sometimes I want something different than Starbucks so I come here. However, they make it difficult with their bad customer service to want to continue coming here. First, my buddy and I came here before class to get some coffee and pastries. My buddy asked the cashier if she had any dairy free pastries because he can 't eat dairy and she said I think these dairy free. They should be. So I asked, is there a way to be sure? And she responded oh I 'm sure they are. They 're labeled. Made me wonder if she 's just guessing at this point. Then, as we are waiting for our coffee, I see the cashier talking with her coworker (idk if it 's the manager) about our order, so I walk towards the counter and ask if everything is ok, and she said yea. Turns out the cashier charged my friend less for the muffin he got. So on our way out, the cashier tells him hey, wait, I 'm sorry. I charged you the wrong type of muffin. That one cost more, I need to charge you the difference. She stopped us on our way out to charge us a dollar off her mistake. Now yesterday, I go in and get an iced americano, the woman charged me $5 for a regular iced americano (I drink mines dark, no sweetener). As I was paying, I thought to myself did she charge me for the large one? I assumed she did. When I got my drink it was a regular sized americano, not the large one. I asked the male worker if his menu was recent and up to date, and he replied yea it is. So I point out that I was charged 5$ for a regular sized American and their menu says it 's 5$ for a L. Then he tells me Oh I guess it 's outdated then. So inconsistent, and they 're basically just answering without even knowing, just like the cashier did with the muffin and now this. If it 's $5, I don 't mind, but just be honest or at least make an effort to look into the issue. The dude just disregarded the issue and walked away as if it was not a legitimate question. Funny how when they charged less, they made sure to stop someone before leaving the store and get their dollar back. But when they overcharge someone, or they are inconsistent, they seem to brush it off and disregard any error on their end. I wonder how many people they do this to?"

"I saw the affordable price on their pizza and decided to give them a try. It was around noon so they had a little rush going on which is always a good sign. At first, I wanted to try their chicken tandoori pizza but they were out of chicken for the day. That was a total bummer. I settled for a 12 pepperoni pie. I will tell you the person making the pizza puts a lot of effort into making a decent pie. Yes, it 's pressed flat by a machine and they use one of those ovens you 'll find at a chain place like dominos but this wasn 't that kind of pizza. It was really good and I enjoyed every bite. Other than being out of chicken this early in the day, I do have other negatives about this place. 1. I think you should come up with a better system for folks when retrieving their pizzas. Maybe an order number to be unique to that individual. Someone that 's not paying attention may think the next pie coming out is theirs. This avoids confusion. The second thing I can say reflects on first thing. I saw your pizza maker treat a customer extremely rude. He has to understand, which most do, that Seattle is made up a very large diverse group of people. Expect a language barrier or two to get in the way when you conduct business. I was embarrassed for the gentleman as he was looking to retrieve his pie but kept collecting the wrong pie. How the gentleman handled the situation was completely arrogant. Unfortunately, the customer didn 't understand what was going on. Your employee should take a few steps back and have more patiences and empathy when dealing with people. This customer gave him no fight, hence the reason why I felt bad enough to help him retrieve the right pie. Lastly, his beard is way to long for the food industry. I 'm pretty sure a hair net is much appreciated. I know where I 'm from in New York, I 'm required to wear a hair net because I can 't have more than a 1/4 of facial hair when volunteering at a soup kitchen. I didn 't run into any issues with hair in my food but, I would be cautious when making pizzas with a beard that long. Other than these negatives I feel three stars is still a fair review. I hope you can correct these issues. My review is strictly my opinion based on my experience and interaction with the business and/or persons while they provided me a service, food, or merchandise.
