I had an unforgettable time at the Art Cafe. I must be honest I was not hopeful after reading the reviews people have left but I must say these reviews must be over exaggerated. When I arrived it was almost at full capacity where there were even other customers standing and drinking there coffee around the cafe due to lack of seating. I had a Chaii latte and an extra shot latte. Both tasted heavenly as well as having a great aesthetic feature regarding latte art. I do feel a little sorry for these guys as I was in there for 3 hours minimum and not once was there a chance for them to slow down or take a breather… overall working in hospitality made me realise how hard of a job it actually is having to deal with certain “difficult” customers on a daily basis and believe these guys deserve some credit for the work they do… I will certainly be returning to the Art Cafe if not for the coffee then for the lovely conversations I was having with the staff. Thank you and keep doing well.
