The ongoing road construction that started this Summer that seems to never end. I drive that way to work and it just seems like there is no progress until today where they have the middle lane dug down where it looks like they might be paving soon.
Baristas tell me that construction was supposed to be done at the end of October.

Maybe the new owners will hire people actually interested in good customer service. That place is right on my way to work, it sure would be nice if I actually wanted to go there.

I went there a couple of times while I lived in the area, stopped going because of the disinterested staff. I moved away 6 years ago and thought that it would’ve changed, but according to YW, it sounds like it hadn’t. Too bad.
Beautiful space, ripe with possibility.

I am sad to hear this because I did go there semi-frequently and it was a good place to plunk down with my laptop and have a beverage and/or a sandwich. I do have to agree with others that the last couple of years the staff has been so NOT friendly or engaged. The road construction situation was really bad, and I had trouble a couple of weeks ago figuring out how to get in there (and thought it was closed). However, service has not been friendly the past year or more, and that’s what helps to make a coffee shop a “gathering spot” – - a place you want to go to again and again, and have a punch card in their little plastic recipe box on the counter……

I don’t think the construction had anything to do with the staff attitude. The time period I had visited was shortly after they had opened, 6 years ago or so. The staff attitude was underwhelming then and it sounds like it never changed.

I don’t need to make excuses for poor behavior. Do your job and do it well, because if you don’t… someone will replace you.

China is too far for a cup of coffee and a sandwich.
