Run Agrounds

The lack of a Starbucks or Peet's coffee in the area prompted our visit to Run Agrounds. We were very pleasantly surprised; great Cappacino and other Esspresso drinks with a nice selection of tasty treats. They also sell Gelato which is a nice thing on a warm day.

The employees were very freindly and liked to talk about Cape Harbour and the surrounding area which was great for us tourists!

Definately worth a visti if you are in the area!

Cheers!

Good service and comfortable

Experiences like this make me realize why some places which may seem good once have terrible reviews from others.

We stopped in for coffee yesterday, and it was decent. Fast forward to today, and it was a 180.

After seeing all they had yesterday (ahem, chocolate croissants and gelato), we were looking forward to going back for breakfast the next day ever since. The disappointment was immense. Our cappuccinos tasted of burnt espresso, and the worst insult of all was that both of our pain au chocolats [chocolate croissants which did not resemble a croissant in the slightest] were rubbery and rock-solid; if I would have thrown it at someone, it would have hurt. When I smelled it, it had the scent of a freezer.. That icky ice cube smell.. bleh. :(

After a couple exhausting and miserable bites, I finally went back in to ask either for another or to grab something else. A woman, who I assume to be the owner, took my croissant and started poking it and said, "It's supposed to be like this." No, ma'am, it isn't.

I have spent countless weeks in France and even had a chocolate croissant in the US just a day earlier, and they are always soft [ aka FRESH ] and a joy to bite into .. the fluffy dough.. mm! This was not the case at Run Agrounds.

I was pleasant as could be, even when returning a croissant I had been looking forward to all day and morning before, and the woman would not even talk to me beyond her snippy comment and just yelled at the cashier to refund me a dollar. (Our whole breakfast cost waaay more than that.. I won't even go there.)

Wow, cool. That's some great customer service right there. No apology, no nothing. I got my refund and walked right out. What a disappointment!
