0 star if one was available! Good reason too...
- AVOID TEMPTATION -
09:02 - All doors open, staff visible and setting up the chairs and sauce pots etc. I observed the 'Closed' sign on the door, but thought to ask when they were opening (as there was no display of operating hours).
I poked my head in the entrance and said "excuse me, what time are you opening today?" ... as one of the ladies looked at her watch, the elderly "fossil-like gentleman" that wasnt 'gentle' muttered under his breath, "when we're ready". Unfortunately for him, I heard him clearly. I went on to state to him that it was unnecessary for him to say such a comment and I was not accepting his sarcasm (especially when the world seemed so wonderfully perfect I.E. coastal perfection, beautiful sunny day and a calm atmosphere) - all I wanted was a nice breakfast and drink!
Afterwards, I decided to leave and not give the cafe any of my custom. So disappointing and extremely dissatisfied with the lack of care at the ease of inviting people to their wonderful location.
I asked a very simple and understandable question, this surely only requires a simple response. For all I knew, they may have been preparing to open at lunchtime!?
I am pretty sure the man in question worked in the fossil shop attached directly next to the cafe. My advice to this chap and more for the cafe staff is to keep him locked up in the cabinet with the other fossils! Maybe that way, nobody will detract away from an idealistic setup for many within the catering world.
Perhaps its his toxicity that is disheartening the cafe staff! - hence the other reviews that read about miserable staff etc.
