I’ve never seen a coffee shop where you order something and they bring you something else — and even worse, they try to make you drink it when you don’t want it. I ordered a cappuccino with a small cup and two shots, but they gave me a cappuccino with a small cup and only one shot, and they wanted me to drink it as if it was fine. That’s really strange! When I stopped and talked to them, they just said “oh, okay, we’ll make it,” but the problem is: why didn’t they do it right the first time? The service was very poor, and the staff’s attitude was extremely bad.

The place is nice, the service weeeuuhh top notch. I loved the food though the fries were not as good as I expected. The chicken was nicely done and delicious. The sauces mouth watering. The cucumber mojito was the real deal. Please try and serve hot food because the food my friends and I had was not hot.
