The bistro doesn’t seem like they know what they’re doing or must just forget to turn on their machines when they come in that morning. I tried ordering a coffee and was told that coffee is more of a lunch thing. Where is the sense in that? And I know exactly what time they open and arrive each morning and I ordered it after 8:30. The machines should be on and if they forgot they shouldn’t tell people it’s a lunch thing when the next day I seen them giving people coffees at the same I asked for one but I thought it was a “lunch thing”.
