As
a
newcomer
to
the
area,
I've
been
on
the
hunt
for
a
cozy
coffee
spot
to
frequent.
RE:defined
caught
my
eye
due
to
its
glowing
reviews,
and
I
decided
to
give
it
a
try.
The
shop
didn't
disappoint
in
ambiance,
aesthetic,
or
quality
of
the
vanilla/lavender
lattes,
which
were
exceptional.
The
barista
who
prepared
my
drink
did
an
excellent
job
as
well.
However,
my
initial
experience
at
the
register
was
less
than
welcoming.
The
individual
there,
with
short,
curly
grey
hair,
seemed
indifferent
to
my
questions,
almost
as
if
they
expected
me
to
be
familiar
with
the
drinks
and
food
right
away.
Their
facial
expressions
conveyed
a
sense
of
annoyance,
making
me
feel
like
an
inconvenience
rather
than
a
valued
customer.
This
interaction
left
me
wondering
if
my
LA
Dodgers
hat
might
have
somehow
influenced
their
demeanor
(what
else
could
I’d
have
been?).
Despite
this,
I
chose
to
leave
a
tip,
considering
that
everyone
can
have
an
off
day.
The
quality
of
the
coffee
and
the
overall
charm
of
the
shop
are
undeniable,
but
a
more
welcoming
approach
from
the
staff,
especially
those
greeting
customers,
could
significantly
enhance
the
experience.
For
now,
I'll
be
exploring
other
local
options,
but
I
hope
this
feedback
contributes
to
improving
the
welcoming
atmosphere
that
is
so
crucial
to
a
coffee
shop's
charm.
