Subeez's got everything, from good eats at reasonable prices, to drinks and great atmosphere, and it's open late which is a great bonus!
Looking over all these reviews, I really feel this profile for Subeez has it pegged. 3 stars overall, pretty average, some good qualities and some room for improvement. I can see some people have had some better times (maybe it was the later evening crowd?) while others left some pretty scathing remarks.
I'd like my review to stand out a little bit more so I've included some pictures with it, but as you can see by the stars above, it's also a 3 for me.
My girlfriend and I went on Saturday, around 9pm, and had really quick seating on the street-side patio. That's cool, I don't like waiting in line and it was a great table. It was nice to sit outside and watch some people walk by, the tables were interesting and the chairs OK. I can see Subeez getting busier as the night goes on, the tables were filling up as we were leaving.
The wait staff were great. The ladies were super friendly and chatty, our waitress absolutely smoothed over any minor hiccups the food had. Our drinks and food were pretty quick, and we paid the bill at the table with the remote machine.
Now for the important stuff; the food. We ordered 1 Honey Brown ale, 2 Caesars, 1 Chorizo poutine, 1 Calamari, 1 Supreme Chicken. What really stood out for me were the Caesars and the poutine. The drinks were spicy and dirty, tasted hand mixed (please tell me it wasn't store mix?) and were strong.
The chorizo poutine was great. Those flavors go really well together. Maybe a couple more seconds in the oven/grill/microwave/heat lamp? The cheese was a bit un-melted, but from what I've read some people prefer it that way. If I was drunk, I would be sleeping in this dish.
The calamari was pretty average, and unfortunately the Supreme Chicken (expensive on the menu, $17) was under average. I've included the pictures. We were both just straight up unexcited about both of these. It felt like the chicken dish was a special at Swiss Chalet.
I would be excited to come back to Subeez again and have another Caesar and some nachos. The three ladies sitting behind us seemed to be regulars and were having a hell of a time. They ordered at least 4 appetizers and were gearing up for a round of entrees when we were leaving. I wonder if they made it to dessert.
Subeez or more nick named Boobez.. don't ask me why but it has sticked.
I have been coming here forever, since i probably wasn't legally allowed to drink here actually but we still came, because it was cool.
Large windows overlooking the misty Vancouver streets, with candles seeping there wax everywhere. Always up to date with large and interesting art installments from cool local artists.
A nice selection of drinks but i usually stick to whatever is on special. I think on Sundays they have 4 Whistler beers for $12.. pretty cheap and good beer too!
We basically lived here prior to and during the Olympics. It was the only place open after our Ceremonies rehearsals that could fit us all semi comfortably. I would indulge in the tuna or veggie burger with yam fries.. please just feed me yam fries with garlic aoili! Nachos were satisfying, and so was the goat (tons of cheese!) cheese salad.
They even have Huevos Rancheros on the all day menu which was somewhat satisfying later at night.
Service would be hit or miss depending on how insane it was in there, which is semi understandable.
One thing i do think they could renovate are the bathrooms.. for some reason i think they should be super sleek and modern..but they are definitely not.
This gets a thumbs up for my later night, big group haunt.

Room for improvement, but overall Subeez is a pretty decent downtown brunch destination.
We rarely visit Subeez for dinner but it has become a solid reliable fall-back for brunch. Because it's so large, you won't have to wait for a table like at other staples like Medina and Twisted Fork.
The brunch menu has several delicious items that I can order and be guaranteed a mouth-watering well-prepared meal with no regrets, such as the Mushroom Goat cheese Benny, the Classic Breakfast, the French Toast, and the Chicken Brie Sandwich. I've never ordered these items and been disappointed, however the Huevos Ranchero and the Breakfast Burrito are not worth trying.
The coffee is unfortunately only available as a small $3 americano, which I don't appreciate on a hungover morning. However, the americano is at least delicious.
My only other criticism is that occasionally the servers are slow and/or oblivious. This hasn't always been the case, but has happened enough to be memorable.
I can't speak for the dinners here, but I can say that it can be pretty loud sometimes if you're trying to have a conversation. I don't know if I'm just getting old but almost every time I go there for brunch the music is cranked right up, which again isn't the best for those of us dealing with hangovers.
The patio is a nice place to sit at people-watch during lunch... I wouldn't say it's much of a view but it's been enjoyable on a warm, sunny morning.

I've been to Subeez many times, I go because I have a group of friends that get sucked in by atmosphere and have the ability to overlook bad service. I am also a sucker for a good beer selection and a well made cocktail, that helps.
Sometimes we go and the service is good, when the young females serve us it is often horrible. The one time I actually sat at the bar with a friend we were treated with distain and had a helluva hard time getting a second drink out of the guy. This is not the usual there, but sticks in my memory nonetheless.
The food is usually good, I have always had a fondness for the atmosphere, and I actually LIKE the drink menu. It is the first place I ever saw that used elderflower presse in a cocktail, about 5 years before it became trendy. Much respect for that. Also, their Sangria is damned tasty.
Every time I find something that I really crave, it disappears from the menu. But it is quickly replaced by something else that I also enjoy.
I guess I'm just a stickler for consistency and service. When I have meh service somewhere 2 out of every 3 times I go, that's a downer.
I want Subeez to be more than what it is.
Went for lunch yesterday but they only had the brunch menu. I wasn't really in the mood for brunch type food but ordered the Huevos Rancheros. It totally hit the spot! It was different than H.R. that I've had at other places - black beans in between a spinach tortilla with a sort of omeletty type thing on top with salsa, sour cream and potatoes on the side. It was really tasty though. Also on Saturdays their jugs of Sangria are $15. It's good! Our server took good care of us too.
Subeez is reliable - pretty good food, mostly decent service (and this has definitely been improving over the past year), usually not too crowded. When you don't want to hit up yaletown or are starving and can't wait for brunch they are definitely a good option. I would suggest trying their Strawberry French Toast (amazing), their cobb salad with the smoked tofu and their sangria is quite decent (though a bitch to pour)
I've always loved the decor at Subeez. This is where life-sized sculptures of torsos, an installation of irons dangling in mid-air, and haunting oil paintings, are all brought together in an atmospherically dim open room with two storey high ceilings. The banquettes and small tables make it a nice and intimate place to grab drinks and catch up with friends. The pitchers of different cocktails including sangria ($18) are great for sharing.
On my most recent late night visit, we were grossly disappointed by the incredibly soggy calamari and mushy but burnt crab cakes we ordered. When advised of this, the server actually tasted a ring of the squid and agreed with us wholeheartedly before returning with a replacement dish that was much improved.
I used to love the food, but it was a long time ago that the menu featured the tuna tartar that I still dream of. I hope they bring it back one day. Maybe I just need to drag myself out of bed one morning and try the much buzzed about eggs benedict to change my mind.
On a crisp Fall Saturday morning, this is the place to be.
High ceilings, sculptures, paintings, chandeliers and open kitchen, large windows. Perfect for people watching. Ecelectic.
I start off with some vailla roobios tea. It comes in a nice bodium tea steeper, just the way I like it. I ask for some honey on the side, the waitress brings me a genrerous serving. A good start.
I order the smoked salmon benny- two soft poached eggs, hollandaise, avocado, smoked salmon, baked tomato, onion, garlic, spinach, english muffin, hash browns.
The brunch companion orders the Huevos Rancheros-scrambled eggs, black beans, cheddar & jack cheese, spinach tortilla, salsa, sour cream, hash browns.
The restaurant is almost all full. Not bad for 10:30am on a Saturday morning. We didn't have to wait too long for the food to come.
2 large eggs benny, and nicely browned hash arrives. It's mouthwatering. Something about the mingling of flavours of the avocado and salmon make this benny one of the best I've ever had. The eggs are perfectly poached and the hollandaise sauce is of a good conisistency.
I take a sip of my vanilla rooiboos tea with steamed milk and honey-this is the perfect Saturday.
Prices are what you expect to pay for weekend brunch around this city. The service is good, waitress even offered to refill my tea. A great place for a breakfast date, or a large group meeting.

I can't say anything bad about Subeez, but nothing overly good either. Beer menu is decent. Food menu is not bad and atmosphere is friendly. I guess it just didn't live up to it's hype for me. I had heard about it for years and thought it would be great, but when I finally went it was just ok. Not good enough for a second visit in my opinion.
I was a huge Subeez fan back in the day...it used to be the place to go on a Friday night..all the cool kids would be there..Yaletown had yet to explode into the urban pretension it is now...and years later it's still pretty cool..it's lost its edge a bit..but the service is still for the most part bad..the food is still ok..the music is still too loud.. and the candle wax is still dripping into huge mounds....hmmm..why do I like to come here??
What I have recently discovered about Subeez is their great patio! Great bench seating..nice sun exposure...perfect for enjoying the afternoon with some friends while catching some rays!! The pitchers of Sangria are only about $18 and you can order a decent lunch for about $14ish..not cheap but not too expensive...I personally like the chicken and brie on baguette OR the salmon on baguette!
I just stopped in the other day for lunch with a friend and what shocked me was we actually had good service..I know..take a minute to absorb that piece of information...but the server was super pleasant and down right bubbly..no attitude and even brought us our order in a timely matter..what the eff? This is SO not the Subeez I loved..although a nice change..I have to wonder if the Yaletown pretension has worked it's way into Subezz...great..what's next? Are the staff at Foundation gonna start to be nice too??
Pretensious with bad service and overpriced, possibly rancid breakfasts. Need I say more?
Oh yes, and lots of exaggerated cliche neon comic book chicks on the wall. *shudder*
I've gotta admit actually, it was not the worst thing ever, more like an overpriced "meh" and the whole rancid oil thing really bumps it down from its already low notch.
I shudder to think about the money I've eaten and drunk at this restaurant over the past 15 years since it's been open.
The good is the music (if you like electronic/experimental) and the cheaper drinks. Though in recent years the drinks have been getting a bit more pricey.
The service here has always sucked. It seems they hire the people based on their haircuts, not their attitude.
Ugh, the food has always been a disaster as well. Again, the chef is probably much too busy being all Emo to bother cooking a reasonable dish.
Go for the funky, dark atmosphere and drinks. Be wary of the food.
A very unique place & space: exposed concrete, bizarre - some downright freaky - art & sculpture, 20-30' ceilings. It attracts the fringe and the mainstream.
Full meal, beer or just a coffee - they're easy. Laid back (to the extreme - let them know if you're in a hurry) service.
They serve the best Americano and Latte I know (open at 10am) - and the presentation is hard to beat for a casual restaurant, although the presentation used to be better. The coffee theme continues with a most spectacular espresso martini, topped with a coffee bean.
The garlic mayo fries are every regular's standby, and the pistachio-encrusted goat cheese salad is respectable, too.
They have upgraded their outdoor seating but it is on a very busy street so I wouldn't call it a destination patio.
Came here with a large group for drinks and aside from the large space, the service level wasn't really there. We ordered a few pitchers of the sangria and I'm not really sure what they put into that concoction of a sangria, but definitely tasted watered down and tame like a coconut.
Not a bad place for a large group, but our server was definitely lacking in attentiveness. Not only did she miss our orders on a few occasions, we literally had to chase her down to place our order.
Unique ambiance. I frikkin love the candle wax buildup deal!
Sangria's were delicious and tasted even better outside on their patio.
I have to say, this one was a huge disappoint . I expected more from this place. At least, more than this. (see photo)
First, the baked beans threw me off.I really wish there was at least some fruit.
I'll give the meal this - it wasn't greasy. The downer was the sausage and the scrambled eggs were overcooked.
If you like homemade jam this was a nice plus.
I would go again for the atmosphere and drinks but not the food.
The drippy candles all over the place; the crazy art installations and loud music accompanied by the young crowds make this a great recipe for the late night partying.
To be honest, the evening is definitely where this place shines.
I recommend the yam fries with your drink.
I know the one star is a bit harsh but I am just rating the brunch had it been a late night listing, I would give it a 3.

I went to Subeez for the the first time for brunch this weekend
My companion ordered the pulled pork benny and I ordered the breakfast. While it came out fast and was overall quite enjoyable, food quality was not outstanding. Potatoes were bland, and seemed to lack imagination and/or flavour.
The best part of the meal was the coffee. If nothing else it pleased me to have a properly served cup of joe and I would definitely go back for that.
Service was acceptable and not offensive in anyway. Might need to try the dinner menu though next time.
Two things to note:
1. Yam Fries
2. Pom Surprise
Yes, the yam fries are deeply fried, but they are wedges and you get the sweet potato goodness that you wouldn't get anywhere else.
The pom surprise comes with cucuber, a splash of grenadine, lime juice. To my "surprise" there was a mint spring which I agressively mixed into my newly mojito drink. So refresing and delicious I had to get seconds.

Loud crowded bathroom.
I am having trouble with the towels.
Archie: Stupid thing.
Creepy Guy: It puts the lotion on it's skin.
Archie: What?
Creepy Guy: You need to puts the lotion on it's skin.
Archie: *scans room for nearest exit* Holy crap, what??
Creepy Guy: You need to make a motion to make it spin. Like this, with your hand.
Archie: Ahhh.....yes, very well, thank you.
Besides that little Silence of the Lambs encounter with the helpful Canadian version of Buffalo Bill, this place is ok.
Go for drinks. Avoid the food unless you are into ingesting 3 liters (oops, sorry, litres) of grease.
Nice looking crowd with complicated motion sensing towel dispensers.
Yup, that's Subeez.
Open late which is nice.
Fava.
In the world of breakfast/brunch, this place was middling at best. Three of us went for brunch, one of us liked the "sassy" service, it made me feel old and bitter. That seems okay, as I am old and bitter. Being old and bitter makes me enjoy low-key and efficient polite service. Sassy is not high on my list of needs and desires, just a matter of taste.
On to the taste. The fried potatoes tasted rancid. The bacon was better than many places, but scorched nonetheless. Bacon likes low heat. I ordered eggs over-medium and got eggs over-medium. That should go without saying, but so many places get that wrong. Returning eggs is just a pain.
The only bread is multigrain? A rye would have gone a long way to improving my disposition (Sir, I need you to stay away from the pun!) Ramikins of baked beans, ketchup and brown sauce? Please, don't open that can jes' for lil ol' me!
The house coffee is a $2.50/cup americano. It comes on an oval tray with a mini-pitcher of cream as well as a little tumbler of water to give your spoon a little bath in (Honky, puh-leeze!) Want another coffee? Try and get the attention of said sassy server, and you are charged another $2.50, brought another tray, another pitcher, another spoon-bath. One of us thought this brought a lovely aesthetic balance, and enjoyed the presentation. 3 people= 5 coffees, 5 cups, 5 trays, 5 tumblers.... To me, it felt cluttered.
I don't think it is declassé to want a decent filter coffee, and want refills for brunch. It's a lost opportunity for a server to check in with the patron, which would have been nice. Nicer than unneeded trays.
You can pull off any decor when the food is good, the service is good. But here, it took on the ambiance of a cheesy frat house. Drippy candles, comic book babe artwork, and just plain old-fashioned poor taste. I want to have something more pleasant and soothing for lunch. All drum bass with no harmonics gives me a freaking headache at 10:30 am.
Judging from the other reviews, I'm guessing this place is more well suited for lunch and dinnner. Here's an idea, stay closed for breakfast/brunch and take that time to wipe down the filthy food encrusted menus, blech. Bad brunch brings out the bitch in me.
I'd go again, but it wouldn't be my first choice.
I liked the feel of the place (e.g. drippy gothic candles, swanky bar area, random candle of Jesus watching over you as you eat...) and the food was aiiight, but nothing stood out to me as being exceptional. The best surprise of the night was the Veggie Burger - wasn't expecting much, but it was very tasty indeed. And their fries TOTALLY remind me of In-'n-Out fries - but for some reason, while I love eating them in the fast-food-world, it seemed anticlimactic to have them in a restaurant like Subeez. Go figure.
Subeez is the first place I ever ate at in Vancouver. I was shocked at the then mostly-veggie menu and, to be honest, the price. Since then I've settled into understanding Vancouver a bit more and still go to Subeez once and a while, though nowadays I do it more for the drinks and less for the food.
Not that there's anything wrong with the food. If anything I'd describe it as "Vancouver cuisine". It has all the fusion and veggie dishes you expect as well as the experimental gastronomics you find in the bigger name restaurants. The food just doesn't cross that hurdle into GREAT for me so I tend to avoid it.
But as a night spot its great. Huge selection of drinks and a casual atmosphere in a nice end of town. You don't have a blaring DJ and you don't have too many idiots up in your face yet you can still go in large groups and get just as sauced as you need to be.
A note for anyone who knows I'm a total cheapskate: The prices are a bit higher than I usually go for. I never make a whole night of Subeez, but it's a good place to start or end without completely decimating my thin, thin wallet.
Subeez is good for a decent brunch, but fails at dinner.
Every time we've eaten here at night (and yes, we keep going back with the same out of town friends out of laziness & because they like the fries), something has been wrong with the food or service, from hard ravioli to ordering fish & receiving steak.
Like I said, brunch is pretty good though - a changing menu with lots of variety & it's a fun atmosphere with lots of art.
Listed in: Vancouver Fail!
All I have to say is I saw Ben Stiller here! (and this was a little after Zoolander was released!).
Ok. Fine. I'll say more.
Besides the celebrity sightings, Subeez is infamous for their fries and garlic mayo (I'm talking to you people that go to Cactus Club just for this). The food is amazingly tasty. The vibe is super low key and trendy, and it almost has this goth appeal that draws you in. They have just about any drink you could think of (the Liche Martini is to die for!).
Why are you still reading this?! Shouldn't you be on your way to Subeez?
Martinis here are to die for. It's a great place to sit in the bar area and stare at the beautiful people and knock back a few fancy drinks. I can't remember if it was espresso or chocolate (or both), but the drink was divine and I am usually more of a beer/wine girl.
It's an interesting atmosphere because the ceilings are really high and they've done some creative window-treatments. There are candles on the tables and some semi-creepy art here and there. In a way it's industrial, yet artsy. So it's interesting and should give you lots of inspiration to spark conversation with your date.
I had their warm goat cheese salad with baby spinach ($12.50). It was tasty, but not a whole lot to eat for the price and I wouldn't recommend it to someone who's actually dinner-time hungry. I finished the salad and the cheeky waiter had the nerve to say to me "Ooooh, someone was hungry!" as he looked down his nose and clicked his tongue. I had to resist the urge not to trip him as he strutted away with my plate.
Next time I went there I had a veggie burger which was much more filling, and our waitress was a sweet and beautiful young woman who did not pull any attitude.
Subbez...it's an odd name, no? I just learned yesterday that it is connected to the restaurant WaaZuBee on the Drive. That doesn't clear much up on the names, but it's good to know.
I like the art inside this place, and the patio tempts me on a warm enough day. candles on the tables is always a nice touch.
The prices are a little steep. I haven't eaten here, but brunch always tempts me. I've had a chai latte here that was over $4. That seemed excessive. Had some mixed drinks, but they seem to match the standard price around town.
I've liked everything I've ever eaten at this place. Even though so far it's only been the veggie burger and the newer noodle dish they have on their menu.
But I do miss their tofu skewers :( Maybe it's a seasonal thing.
Food has always been consistant, and the service has generally been great.
Their raspberry lemonade is awesome. Watch out for the overpriced martinis. I ordered 2 of those by accident after a few too many drinks, and ended up paying more than I had thought I would on beverages.
The music is fun, and the art all over the walls are really interesting.
About a week after my previous review, I received a message from one of the managers at Subeez who acknowledged the issue and sincerely apologized on behalf of Subeez. What really impressed me was that this did not just happen in a quick one-liner. Instead, the manager took his time to review the situation, explain how this will help them for future staff training. I felt that they were genuinely concerned which I really appreciated - the way this was handled by the manager certainly deserved a five-star rating. He offered me a gift certificate which I used during my second visit yesterday. This time, the service was good, staff was friendly and we had a good time. I've decided to change my overall rating to three stars.
I went to Subeez last Saturday night. I was in the area with a friend and we were simply looking for… Read more »
Subeez is a nightspot for those who want to go to a cool place, but don't necessarily want to go clubbing. They've got a cool, arty atmosphere what with all that wrought iron and huge drippy candles. I don't think the candles have been changed since the '90s or thereabouts, and the wax accumulations are starting to look like stalagmites you'd see in caves. (Be careful with purses and jackets, by the way: the last time I visited, I ended up with wax all over my purse. Luckily, it was synthetic.)
It's also open for lunch and brunch.
Fun place!!! The music was good and lively, the waiter was sweet and the drinks were cheap!!! Loved the sculptures, melted candles, high ceilings, chandeliers, lighting. Great ambiance!!
This was our first stop after arriving, far too tired, in Vancouver from Seattle. Brunch was the task at hand, and the front desk person at L'Hermitage gave it a literal two thumbs up. The eggs benedict are apparently amazing.
All in all, it was completely acceptable. Neither amazing nor impressive, but the food was reasonably tasty, reasonably priced, and hit the spot.
Our server was quite helpful and attentive, but we seemed to have the exceptional server, rather than the rule. He was just starting his day, so that may have contributed to the positive attitude. After being sat, we weren't acknowledged again until he approached. Perhaps we weren't edgy enough to warrant attention from the hipster staff?
Would eat there again if in the neighborhood, but wouldn't make a trip for the purpose. That having been said, I enjoyed my experience... it just wasn't anything special.
Though in fairness, we didn't try the eggs benedict. Damn.
Subeez is one of my all-time favourite relaxing and eclectic drinking spots around (since dv8 burned down :(). If you are looking for a darkly lit, super artsy atmosphere, this is the place to go.
Their garlic mayo fries are delicious, and so are their yam fries - always perfect, and with a bunch of different dipping sauces so you're never left bored or dry. They used to have a chicken nicois (spelling?) that was the best chicken dish I'd ever had, but I think it's either seasonal or not available anymore. Their other menu items tend to be interesting and creative, but I tend to go to Subeez later in the evening when I'm not interested in a full meal.
The service is reasonable, and sometimes great depending of course on who you get. They have a nice list of beers with some strange and fun-to-try imports. The atmosphere also goes very well with wine. I haven't tried their cocktails or martinis.
The art pieces are great for conversation, making this a pretty good idea for a date destination and ice breaker. The music is always really neat with a bit of house or strange electronic music, as well as indie hip hop stuff.
Overall, this is a funky drinking and conversation destination.
Subeez is a fun, spacious place in a cool, artsy-er area of downtown. Located right on the corner of Homer and Smithe, the outdoor patio, which is open year-round for those willing to brave the cold during the winter months, is welcoming and hip. The interior, which is considerably warmer, maintains the same friendly vibe without losing any of the cool factor.
The food's good. At night, they have a range of pasta platters, burgers and appetizer plates--all of which go perfectly with their extensive martini menu.
I usually just come here for drinks but the brunch menu calls enticingly for a pre-noon wake-up.
Bumping music, fun artwork and a hip atmosphere make this a great meeting spot for friends to converse and enjoy each other's company.
The appetizers and drinks are all priced very competitively and the staff are all very friendly. From time to time the music can be pretty loud which can make ordering or conversing difficult if you happen to be near where the speakers are piping the music into the vast space.
The large long benches & tables also make it great for squeezing in additional people if you have stragglers in your group and the staff usually pick up on that and come pretty quick to take their orders.
Overpriced, but I love the atmosphere. This is one of my favorite places for breakfast and for late night drinks. Their breakfast menu is really good. My only complaint would be that they only serve espresso style coffee, so there are no free refills!
Yam fries were delicious but my veggie burger appeared to come right out of a frozen package. I was a bit surprised that they wouldn't even try to fix it up with other veggies or even cheese! Service was great, atmosphere was cool, but am in no rush to go back. Perhaps I ordered wrong?
This is a very tasty place, but NOISY ... loud music inside, Smithe street traffic inside. Excellent food, and they aren't kidding about their coffee being the "best" either, it is terrific. I'd disagree with Tim L. a wee bit on competitive food pricing- we ended paying $10 for a tomato salad, which, while tasty, consisted of three small sliced tomatoes, but their regular bar snacks are very good and totally reasonable.
I came here for drinks, which were good, but I also ate a great veggie burger, which was a bit of a surprise for me. The atmosphere here is kind of funky, kind of trendy and pretty sure of itself, but it remains a friendly place to come to eat or drink. This place tends to be on the noisy side, so maybe don't come here on a first date, unless it's a date with someone you'd rather not talk to!
Don't go to subeez for the food or service. I've been here twice and have had my fill. Of the restaurant that is, not the food which is oily and small portioned. The first time I went was with a very large party. Usually such a group gets attentive service; big groups spend a lot of money. Not so, we were all waiting fifteen minutes before we even gave a drink order. It was a friend's birthday and we were in the mood for martinis. We ended up actually sipping our water. We weren't thirsty, but not having a drink in hand on a Friday night feels off. The second time I returned was because of Subeez's proximity to my work. I came for lunch and ended being late returning to work for lack of prompt service. Ten minutes for an americano? Really? Although some find the décor inside to be interesting, I consider it to be tacky and reeking of trying too hard. Weekend brunch here isn't bad, just don't go if you find yourself in a rush, you might be there a while.
