Pros

This cafe has almost everything that is loved in visiting and working at a cafe. Amazing food, coffee, etc... It was one of my favourite jobs before I began my career. The staff was fantastic, the customers were wonderful.

Cons

They were taken over by another owner in 2011. They proceeded to humiliate the original employees by firing them one by one, myself first on the list, in an embarrassing and insulting manner. The cafe had a large and consistent clientele, and many of them blacklisted the cafe in an effort to stand for the employees that they had come to know and support. Unfortunately, in my area of town there isn't anywhere else to go for a good cup of coffee and a sandwich, so slowly they trickled back in. I can't blame them, but people should know that the owner has absolutely no consideration for anybody, whether they be customer or employee. I have never been treated with such disrespect, especially as an adult.
