Review

2. Split milk
Review
"My latte came split."
Reply
"Hi Priya — a split latte is a texture fail, no excuses. Come back this week and your next one is on me. — Jess, owner"
3. Queue
Review
"20-minute queue on a Saturday."
Reply
"Hi Chris — 20 minutes is beyond our own patience. We're adding a second bar from next month for weekends. — Jess"
4. WiFi
Review
"WiFi was down when I came to work."
Reply
"Hi Jamie — WiFi should be reliable for the work-mornings crowd. It's flagged and we've moved to a business line this week. — Jess"
5. Wrong order
Review
"Ordered oat, got dairy."
Reply
"Hi Nadia — an oat-to-dairy mix-up is a tickets-management fail we take seriously (allergens and preferences both). Come back this week and I'll re-pour it, on me. — Jess, owner"
6. Loyalty
Review
"Been coming here every day for a year."
Reply
"Hi Alex — a year of every-morning coffees is the whole reason we do this. Ask me for a black-book card next time — no more punch card. — Jess"
FAQ
- Should a coffee shop reply to every 5-star review?
- Yes — regulars are your community and they see the replies. Even a two-word acknowledgement matters when the reviewer signed by name.
- How to handle allergen mix-ups?
- Treat every milk-swap review as a serious allergen incident, own it in public, and route to a private email if the reviewer flagged an actual reaction.
