CAFFE & TREIN

Overall this is a solid coffee shop, it’s clean, new, the staff is friendly and the coffee is good. The bathrooms are clean and well stocked. This place should have been a “B”, which using our scoring system, is hard to get and most only get a C. But there were a couple of issues that brought it down. Their eats offerings are lacking, very limited selection, and is just the usual coffee shop fare, the Costco run of coffee shop pastries that most other shops have. Nothing stood out about them, they did not put much effort into their eats offerings. There are no wheelchair accessible tables. There are many tables that look like a wheelchair can use it, but that is a perception and not a fact. Lastly, when I talked to the staff and a female who stated she was the manager, expressed my dismay at the lack of a fork so I could eat the pastry I had ordered and then asked why they don’t have forks. I received an incredibly long reply that explained everything under the sun except why they don’t have forks and was told they would take it under advisement, would need to study it and develop a plan and that they are only two months old and asked for patience. H-E-B and Amazon sell forks for cheap, so does Ikea. Please, spend the $50 bucks on some forks. The manager also explained how she has extensive (over 10 years of coffee shop experience) while also telling me they are so new and that neither owner nor her have enough experience to have known what they will need. She also explained how their pastry program is new and is being handled by a contractor, I really don’t understand that statement. Honestly, we do recommend this place, but bring your own fork if you plan to have a pastry. This place has everything in place to be a “B” rated shop, they just need to get some forks without created a corporate focus group and add 1 table for wheelchair users.
