I got served a lukewarm latte with the wrong milk - the barista or owner (?) didn't seem to be fond of listening to their clients & more focused on texting while on the job. Also they were extremely rude & gave off an unwelcoming vibe. I ordered a croissant which I had asked to be heated but again, the person serving me ignored my request. It's unlikely I will ever return & I hope for the sake of your future clientele that you show more care towards them. I only put one star because I had to put any at all.

We were absolutely blindsided by the price for our daughters birthday. I've attached the correspondence my partner & I had with the cafe.

For a 4 year olds birthday party we had 7 children & their parents. 15 people total. We were fine with the cost of the room ($150) & $10 per adult for a tiered charcuterie board & some pastries. However, we had read the pricing for the cupcakes as $50 for 6 cupcakes, snacks & juice. As we estimated 8-10 kids we thought'sure, $100 for 12 cupcakes & snacks & juice should be okay on top of the $150 for the room & $10 per adult for charcuterie'.

But no, we noticed that they were bringing out dozens & dozens & dozens of cupcakes. Around this time I got a charge on my credit card for $700 IN ADDITION to the $150 deposit I put down for the room.

We were told that it was 6 cupcakes PER CHILD…$50 per child…

In our shock we asked what could be done as we had around 60 cupcakes & a HUGE cake for 14 people.

Nothing could be done & our concern for the insane fee & amount of cupcakes for a Children's Party was dismissed to our faces. We were told that'we have been doing this for 10 years' & that was that.

All of our friends were shocked. No parent in their right mind would have read'$50 for 6 cupcakes & snacks & juice' to mean 6 cupcakes for EACH child. No parent would ever agree to go to a party where their child was given that much sugar…

Oh, & we were told we would want to buy a cake. As we thought we had only ordered 12 cupcakes, we agreed. We ended up with like 60 cupcakes & a cake for 14 people…for 7 children ages 2, 2, 4,4,4, 6 & 7.

I hope they make it right. The venue was cute, but this is unacceptable.

We had my daughter's birthday here.
We were very excited about the occasion & thought the business was very communicative. However there was a huge misunderstanding, we read the yellow highlighted bit as a package: 6 cupcakes, snacks & juice for 50$.
The red highlighted bit we understood to be 10$ per adult.
Instead of being brought 12 cupcakes at why we thought would be $100 they brought out 60(6 per kid!!!)!
We had calculated the party to cost about $410.
We were blind sided by a charge of $500 just for cupcakes. Then total ended up being around $850!

The food was good & the room was adorable but we are completely appalled by the lack of clarity & the lack of sympathy they had when we brought up our concerns.

I hope they make this right but just be warned to get a total estimate before booking with this place
