Shitty service, good coffee

by Wera at Citysearch

Coffee is good, desserts are good, some food is great. Most of it can be made at home with $5 and some time and effort.

Mostly Brasil is annoying. The staff is just really atrocious. I guess they're too cool for customer service. I dunno, I'm old school - when I was waiting tables/slinging drinks/working the espresso machine, we earned our tips. I mean, it's not rocket science, what the eff are you getting paid for? Not politeness, clearly.

Follow the advice of the Brasil staff and head to Agora. They're often rude there too, but at least they're open later and the coffee is hot.

• Pros: Coffee when it's hot, some food
• Cons: Really awful staff

Duck Salad to DIE for///

by Mobetta at Citysearch

I appreciate all opinions, but must say something to counteract the negative review i just read...., I frequent this place and have for a while now...I also waited tables for over 13 years while attending college and grad school...my server experience goes from slinging hash to 5 star restaurants...I feel I am very high in my standards when I go out to eat...I think you should give this place another chance...maybe you had a bad day.

They have some of the BEST pizza in town...ever...i have been to Fuzzy's, Star Pizza and New York...they cannot compare...their duck spinach salad is to die for, you even select the temperature you would like on the duck...i recommend medium rare...and it is just a simple little cafe...some menu items are better than other items...but that is the game in most restaurants. I have had excellent service...EVERY time I go...one time I went with my 11 year old daughter...who loves it...and she and i were celebrating something special in her school...they came over with a free dessert for her to pick out...this is a cafe...no waiters...all staff have always been great and eclectic in their own way which blends in with the place.

It is located in a very eclectic area of Montrose...my neighborhood, and it resembles that in all aspects...it definitely did not deserve your horrible review...

• Pros: Pizza, desserts, and salads
• Cons: Some breakfast items

get a drip

I read a number of comments and they center on attitude of staff/owner/dogs...I think it is pretty funny, actually. The place caters to people who really take themselves seriously. The staff is "on stage", they are the show, the defenders are sensitive people who like dogs and voted for Obama. I first came to Montrose in 1970, It was really unique. Since then, it is a bit over populated by people who think they are unique. Don't worry about it. In a few years, it will change and there will be new high school drop outs exercising control over the temperature of your eggs. Whatever...

• Pros: different
• Cons: predictable attitude
