Hastings Tea & Coffee

Being new to the neighborhood, we were happy to find this close and convenient little coffee shop! The coffee drinks are quite good and so is the pastry selection, including our gluten free preferences. Today was our first time in so I can’t say it’s the rule, but as for the service, hmmm. Maybe it’d been a long day or they were tired. No smile. No hi, how are you, and certainly no sense of urgency getting our drinks out. Quite the opposite. It took forever for a Pumpkin Spice Latte and an Americano. The other staff, the female drink-maker was more interested in chatting up her colleague and even gave me a snarky reply when I asked if a drink which was waiting was mine. I’ll go back cuz it’s close to my apartment and I like the food and drink, but “the jury’s out” on the service!
