good coffee very rude service
First off let me say I work within 100 feet of PJs on Lafayette and I go there often. I usually will forego the nearby CC’s and other coffee shops because the coffee is very good. However, the service, while usually pleasant, was awful today. My co-worker and I went in about 3pm today (6/2) for a little caffeine pick-me up. I ordered a doppio con panna, and yes this is not on the menu, however any decent barista knows how to make a double shot of espresso with whipped cream on top, right?? Maybe not. The barista and I use that term lightly, looked at me and said “what” and not in a nice way. So I tell her just two shot of espresso with whipped cream on top, I mean geez they have a macchiato on the menu, how hard could this be? Then I made the mistake of ordering a lemon scone (which is on the menu), for which she scowled at me and stated that she didn’t have any lemon scones so I got a biscotti instead. At this point I don’t dare tell her what she is making me is a cappuccino and not a doppio con panna. At least it was a good cappuccino. I don’t know who owns or runs that PJs but it’s a real disservice to the coffee to have baristas with such nasty attitudes and again I know it’s not an easy job having worked for one for at least half of my time in grad school but it isn’t that hard to just be pleasant either.
