Afters Espresso & desserts NO french fries please

 

Need coffee to wake me up from my slumber!!!! 

Afters Affogato did make the trick a must try !!! Their sansrival is the best and the espresso plus gelato is worth spending your benjamins baby.

The service is not yet at Par since the just recently open and not that kid friendly. We where ask to take and eat our McDonald's French fries outside as it is smelly.  The Frenchy smell  is not welcome in  This Italian cafe. The new kid on the block coffee shop who competes with corporate logo-ed mermaid giants must be hospitable since it is still making a mark or impression. So what does this say?? 

 NO FRENCH FRIES Please! French fries not welcome here!!! SIGN...OUCH.

But  the MOM of the owner was unfortunately was there and  allowed us to eat our McDonald's chicken sandwich and the fillet of fish, since we have two cute kids with us when we venture to try  for the second time around this newly opened establishment. 

But to be fair THE FIRST VISIT  WAS A PLEASANTLY COMFY ONE and less stressful.

 Well the MOM of the owners was there to supervise our second  experience NO BROWNY Points here on this family run coffee  shop. Too bad we also crammed ourselves  to the couch and literally barring customer flow coming in and out. Making some irritable customers coming in out of the cafe.

Unsolicited advise: May the couch be placed at the end corner of the shoppe????  or more couch friendly seating please to big size people like us.. LOL.

Overall experience is  2 stars and green and growing. The products are at par and good, but the place is small and cramped with  students with books and armed with gadgets tablet users /geeks community enclave. 

These folks literally eating up the whole seats at the back  while trying to concentrate on their studies.and sipping little coffee as possible.STUDY MORE LESS COFFEE???  Bummer making this spot more off a  friendly library setting with cozy air conditioning and not a coffee shop.

 To bad - slow turn over for biz.  Well that's their target market/demographics ang nature of the biz/ coffee biz.

Well our verdict  on the not so pleasant experience was compensated with camaraderie of friendship. As we tell our own little stories that day. We also ordered a lot : Affogato, Green latte, 2 sansrival, 2 Toblerone /cheese cake, 2 caffe latte, 2 gelatos for the kids . Whilst  we choose to laugh it off and make better of what they have. Forgivable since this cafe is in its infancy stage and still needs to grow a lot more. 

Hoping they change for the better.
