I like that they a cozy vibe and board games to play so guests can connect without phones .
However, the barista was not friendly and welcoming at all. She actually seemed quite bothered by us. Guess we interrupted her screen time? Seemed that way. We were the only people there, so being busy was definitely not an excuse for her behavior.
She barely even looked our direction as we browsed the bakery case. Had to ask a question, in which, she barely answered and barely turned her head away from her phone or whatever she was doing. So we ordered a few things from the case, a hot coffee and frappe. They were nicely presented, but she didn’t even say thank you until my friend said the coffee was good, then she actually cracked a smile. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have gotten a word out of her.
The coffees were GREAT. Very good, above average, I’d say. The baked goods were alright, but the cookies did not seem fresh. As a baker myself, I’m pretty knowledgeable of these things. Looked great, but nope, not fresh.
So, with that being said, I was quite disappointed with the service. Happy with the coffee. Will I drive an hour just to visit again? No. If I happen to be in the area again, I might stop in for another try, but if service is the same, I highly doubt I’ll return.
I see other issues with service being mentioned, so this apparently isn’t anything new. And no, I didn’t ask to speak to anyone else. She appeared to be there by herself and I wasn’t going to make a big scene by asking for a manager or something and complaining about service, especially since the coffees looked and tasted good.
By the way, my friend felt the exact same way. When we walked out, she said, wow, she wasn’t very friendly, was she? Nope. She was not. But hey, at least the coffee was good.
I wouldn’t give this coffeehouse das boot.
It wouldn’t be a weekend out of town without me making plans to hit up some local coffeehouses and that’s just what Doug and I did while everyone was still sleeping the hangover away at the hotel. Honestly, I had no specific place in mind to visit. I had a list of local places. Doug lives in the area so he knows what is where. Yet we ended up at a place neither on my list nor one Doug knew about.
We rolled up around 8am to some sunshine and a quiet street. We strolled in and were greeted by some friendly baristas and a display case full of delicious-looking treats. I wasn’t in the mood for treats so after staring at the menu for longer than I should have, I ordered myself a plain iced americana and grabbed Emily a drink to bring back to the room. Doug ordered something that wasn’t coffee-related as he doesn’t drink coffee and about 10 of their Umlauts. Now, the Umlauts are not those little dots you see over letters in German words. Not this time. These are their take on the cake balls you see at pretty much any place that sells baked goods.
After we got our drinks, we quickly dipped back to our hotel and had our drinks over the complimentary hotel breakfast. Doug handed out the Umlauts as people woke up and they were in for a sweet surprise. I had a vanilla one and it was gone quicker than you could tell people what umlauts were (either the dot version or the baked version). The americana paired nicely with it, the bitter balancing out the sweet. The next day, I had a chocolate one as everyone came into our room singing Happy Birthday to me as I was trying to use my birthday wish to wish away my mild hangover. That one was less good as the chocolate frosting mixed with the chocolate cake was just toooo much chocolate for me. Younger me would’ve loved it but 36 year old me couldn’t handle it.
Circling back to the coffeehouse itself, it was fairly heavy on the German-influence if you hadn’t guessed based on everything so far. The interior was pretty much your typical coffeehouse but with a German flair to it. This is the first German-inspired place I’ve been and it was a nice change of pace from your usual coffeehouses. As for the Frau Burkhart in the name, I can only guess that’s the owner based on a quick glance at their website?
Any who, a pretty cool little stop for coffee on a blitzkrieg weekend full of shenanigans.
