Not worth mentioning the address.
You know those 80's horror films when a bunch of teenagers decide to go to a nice looking lake/cabin for a weekend, then everything starts going horribly wrong?
Well, this is exactly what going to t.m.c feels like.
From the outside it SEEMED to look like a nice place. But so did Camp Crystal Lake.
I was feeling a little under the weather today and I went in there blindly and stupidly. I didn't scope the staff. Because if i did i would have noticed the middle-aged owner and the 15 year old behind the counter. To quote myself:
"TIP #1
If you see a middle aged owner and a 15 year old waitress, RUN. this will end up being one of the WORST cafe experiences you will ever have."
If only i had taken my own advice...
(except the 15yr old redhead waitress at Dundas & Faucett. Sorry young lady but you were a stupid and rude little know-it-all-cow and you can't hide from me)
No Hello, no how was your day, certainly not a smile, just a "What do you want?". When asked about the food they just pointed to their actually rather nice looking glass cabinet that had some sandwiches and salads in it. Then they did that thing where they stare at you as you decided, hurrying you with their sad little faces. Trying to get any info about what was in the salads/rolls was like trying to get water out of a rock, and that rock was in another rock. We ended up having a salad and a quiche thing. (which were basically the exact same ingredients except one didn't have pastry under it). The fare was boring to say the least. I'm no food critic, but it sucked.
I ordered a Double Ristretto. Even though I had already realised my mistake with TIP #1, i thought that i needed to put my theories to test. And seeing as they have 5 senses and a Synesso, it couldn't be that bad could it? Well it was.
This is the first time that i have seen a cafe with the 5 senses + synesso combo fail. And Fail miserably they did.
The only positive is that it is located next door to the salvos so when they close in about 6 months they can donate all of their lovely furniture!
Coffee: 5 Senses
Machine: Synesso

The staff were the most insolent people i think i have ever encountered at a cafe.

I don't know what the fuck i got, but it sure as hell wasn't a double ristretto. It was a long, watery shot of muddy liquid. I don't think the teens at Camp crystal lake were butchered as badly as the coffee that the man behind the machine served me. ( i won't call him a barista because that is just spitting in other baristas faces) .

Please, I beg you, don't go there.

I'm not sure what t.m.c stands for but Crystal (my partner, sorry ladies) thinks she worked it out:
Terrible service
Meh, Food
Crap coffee
