"Update: Decided to give it a try again. Sometimes people have bad days and those moments have nothing bro do with us. Forgiveness is everything and we this world needs more of it. ————————————————————— I’m a regular early morning customer. The food is amazing, and I’ve never had an issue with long waits for a table or food. For the most part the staff are friendly and efficient; some complain about the music, but I find it nostalgic and pleasant. My last visit was disheartening. A staff member completely snapped at me while taking my drink order; I expressed I would be ok to also order my food if it made things easier. It was busy, and I didn’t want her to make unnecessary returns to my table I thought I was being empathetic, accommodating and kind. Her response was snarky and condescending , “Mmmmhmmm okaaaaaaaay (with an eye roll). When I get a chance. I’m obviously alone this morning. Wait your turn.” : When she returned to take my order she said, “I’m just piping off this morning.” I get it, we’re all under a lot of pressure these days, but that’s not a free pass to berate others. The Little Cheerful is part of a meditative morning routine; I workout nearby, sometimes I go for a walk , then follow up with breakfast at the cafe. I’m never in a rush, I’m kind and friendly, and I always leave a 25% tip. I like hot sauce with my meal, but the attitude and blatant disrespectfulness is not the kind of spice I want with my breakfast. I know gems have blemishes, but this experience was a hard swallow. I’m not sure I’ll return."
