Nice place and lovely food - We purchased the coffee and meal break and we were pleased with the drink, pastry and cake choice. Only confusion was with what we could actually select as no one seemed to know. The young girl serving tables was nice and helped as best she could.

Poor attitude from staff - Two days in a row the staff were in explicitly rude and dismissive. I was hoping maybe the first day they were just having a bad day, but then we got the same horrible treatment the day after as well. At one point, we were told we had to leave if we weren’t going to order. For the record, I had literally just sat down after ordering our drinks from the counter. The staff act like they hate their jobs and would rather be anywhere else in the world. Any time I had to talk to them they acted like I was a major inconvenience. Don’t get me wrong, I totally understand that they have a much different culture than American service and that it’s probably frustrating having to translate for tourists all day long, I’m sympathetic to that, I’m not very great at Italian. But come on, I would be embarrassed if I knew this was how my staff treated customers, regardless of where they come from. Very sad by this as their coffee is quite good. I honestly felt judged the entire time I was there, BOTH days in a row by the same staff. I just wanted coffee :( Per due giorni di fila il personale è stato esplicitamente maleducato e sprezzante. Speravo che il primo giorno stessero solo avendo una brutta giornata, ma poi abbiamo ricevuto lo stesso trattamento orribile anche il giorno dopo. A un certo punto, ci hanno detto che dovevamo andarcene se non volevamo ordinare. Per la cronaca, mi ero letteralmente appena seduto dopo aver ordinato i nostri drink al bancone. Il personale si comporta come se odiasse il proprio lavoro e preferirebbe essere in qualsiasi altro posto al mondo. Ogni volta che dovevo parlare con loro si comportavano come se fossi un grosso inconveniente. Non fraintendetemi, capisco perfettamente che hanno una cultura molto diversa dal servizio americano e che probabilmente è frustrante dover tradurre per i turisti tutto il giorno, sono solidale con loro, non sono molto bravo in italiano. Ma dai, sarei imbarazzato se sapessi che è così che il mio personale tratta i clienti, indipendentemente da dove provengano. Sono molto dispiaciuto per questo perché il loro caffè è piuttosto buono. Onestamente mi sono sentito giudicato per tutto il tempo che sono stato lì, ENTRAMBI i giorni di fila dallo stesso staff. Volevo solo un caffè :(no
