You serve coffee and pastries. Big friggin’ deal. Why does everyone fawn over you because you are hipsters? Your service blows; you gave my coffee to someone else then told me off for not requesting my coffee to go. I did. And now I have to sit here and listen to your ‘ironic’ Fleetwood Mac album. You suck! Also, I don’t want your beard hair in my beverage. Really. —Coffee Lover

Is there anything more irritating than some glassy-eyed ashram-reject telling you that “Perhaps you were destined” to have that Low fat, no foam Broccoli espresso served in a toilet paper tube and then singing a verse of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Cars” to somebody that you know full well is NOT there.
Is it the place on North street that rhymes with Lava Mends? I used to go there but found the stench of pretension too over powering over the lovely smell of roasted coffee beans.
So go to another coffee shop.. Chrissakes
Ironic? Fleetwood Mac? Hunh?
During the bus strike, my dad drOve my ass to work every day. This produced many gems of hilarity; however by far, the most awesome gem is when my 66 year old father asked what a hipster was and decided he wanted to be styled as such.
I told him hipsters don’t get perms and he dropped the idea in the end.
We’re going afro pick shopping this weekend.
Also: could be worse, OB: They could be selling some random dirty hippy tea. Dirty hippy tea is the worst. Mainly because it smells like unwashed arse — which is typical dirty hippy scent. Kinda like an eau d’unwashed butt.
easy fix o.p., if you don’t like it or them, then don’t fucking patronize the place. wasn’t that real easy?
You deserve everything you get when served by a faux hippie.
Hipster coffee has to be a lot worse than hipster photography.
It’s either the place on North or the one on Barrington next the the bike shop, I bet. Both have that ‘we’re too good to serve you’ vibe.
Hipster art – isn’t that what that horrendous expression of art on the old Herald site was? Tossed about mannequins in dress with more expression than our politicians?
The title of this bitch is misleading. It’s not the coffee that sucks it’s the hipster and the fact that he mucked up your order and I’ll be damned if I’m going to sit here and read somebody dissing Fleetwood Mac.

I can tell your posts withing the first sentence, Comrade.
Wanna grab some hipster mudjuice soon?

Da Tovaritsch! – But it’s got to be from an establishment that actually has a philosophy (apart from the acquisition of fiat currency, that is) >; )
Hay Kitteh – Summit Soon?
Summit yeyahhhh!
I think a summit would be a most excellent idea.
Unless someone wants to buy me brunch (and 3-4 caesars), I can’t summit until June 17th 😀
17th is good for me. Gotta love the “This is a bitch board; why don’t you do this on facebook” mudpud who’s disliking all our comments. Keep it up, Spanky. The Council of Elders are sustained by your ire.
ug… hipsters and fleetwood mac.
they should have a concert on a barge in the harbor…
so that once it’s kicking and all the hipsters are like a sea of bobbleheads,
we can just cast them off.
you’re Europe’s problem now.
Until they hit a ‘berg and wash up on the beaches of Georges Island. They’ll set up a commune and have drum parties every night that’ll echo through the entire harbor.
Fleetwood Mac, a real oddity in the music world. The two people, John Macvie and Mick Fleetwood, that the band is named after had little artistic input when they reached their zenith. John’s wife (now ex) Christine, Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham were the driving forces behind the group.
Don’t like them Zed? Well “you can go your own way”.
Supposedly there is going to be some sort of concert on George’s Island this summer. Look forward to a plethora of “Save The Garter Snake” protests. We’ee see a series of “Why wasn’t the jetty restoration put to public tender”,”Where were the environmental impact studies”,& “Why didn’t they use alternate locally sourced construction materials” Coast editorials that will no doubt net Tim Arse-Biscuit another A.J.A. Not to mention, every fly-by-night tour boat operator, with a cargo pallet kept afloat by empty pop bottles and a tourist-shop Captain’s Hat will want a piece of the ferry action. Proactive lawyers are having their secretaries type up “Wrongful Death” briefs as we speak.
No, It’s not Fleetwood Mac playing, either.
C’mon, this has gotta be TIBS, not that other place. And they’re nice at Jab La Venb so shut the fuck up.
I saw Stevie Nicks play the pre-game show for Superbowl Xwhatever and it was just sad. People gotta know when to just fade away.
BTW… I’m now advertising summer boat tours of Georges Island. See the Island concert from the comfort and luxury of my fine vessel.

I’ll give you a discount Admiral, I know those shifty pallet boats make you sea sick.

Spassibo, Tovaritsch Kapitan – but, I’ve got it covered.

My passengers won’t even need those chemlite glowsticks. 5 Minutes in the reactor compartment should suffice.
I agree about Stevie. You know it’s bad when not even eye-of-newt and virgin’s blood can preserve your youth. She should just quietly retire to that coffin in Catherine Deneuve’s attic.
*Bonus Points if you know which 80’s movie I just referenced. My money’s on you getting it, Painey.
Everyone who “dislikes” our summits can go have ones of their own. But that would require effort. More than just a click of a button ;). Or are you just against friends getting out and doing things together? You know you can come right? We don’t really care. Come and yell at us if you want. But I have a feeling most of you are socially awkward and wouldn’t dare step outside of your comfort zone.
Zillajandro, I hope you come <3
Can I come yell at you guys? I do love to yell at people!
Yes. You may have to do it like three times, the tables are very long.
i’m gonna guess “the hunger” captain, it’s the only movie of hers i remember
Co-rrectamundo!. You win a feta-stuffed olive.
Mmmmmmmmmm, feta-stuffed olives, Llllaaaarrrrggghhhhhhhhh. >: )
As one who works at a coffee shop (and who has a beard) I can tell you I’d be mortified if someone posted a bitch like this about me.
If you have issues with the shop, talk to its management. It would be a much more constructive route to improving the quality of the service and would save you from looking like a fool on the net.
mortified? really?
“the thing about the internet is that you can never really be sure of the source”
-Abraham Lincoln
Aha, that’s why you should believe everything you see on the internet.
Regardless, OP is just one side of the story and allowing them to compromise the reputation of their server and the shop they work for isn’t just.
There seems to be a stigma attached to cafes that you will receive rude and impersonal service. I personally take great pride in my job and try and provide the quality of service I would expect from another cafe, but I will absolutely NEVER complain about a bad experience with an employee in a public venue, that’s MUCH ruder than messing up your drink order.
can someone give me a better idea what ‘hipster coffee’ means?
Well, man. I would explain, but you wouldn’t understand. =) Sorry, couldn’t resist.
A three hour tour to Georges Island? I’m in….

Hipster coffee is any coffee besides Tim Hortons coffee
lulz – Hugo >: )
Summit Update: the 17th is Father’s Day. I know of a couple of bitchers who prolly have prior engagements. Perhaps the weekend after?
LOL it never clicks when father’s day is because my father likes to spend father’s day jammin’ with his buddies.
May sound uncaring when your father fucks off on Father’s day, but goddamn it just means I don’t have to schlep around doing shit for him all day (because I’ll tells ya, the man is high maintenance). Plus he gets to do what he wants for the day. A card and some dinner usually suffices.
Ummmmm sooooo 17th or the next sunday? VOTE BITCHES.
Either/or works for me.
I’m like Brendon. Cheap, easy…but never desperate >: )
…and P.K. – your Old Dad’s got the right idea. It’s Father’s day – do what you want. My Pappy will probably be doing the Tora,Tora,Tora thing on the links where Mom’s getting in her Sunday golf game.
BAAAAAAAAAANZZZZZAAAAIIIIII!
“Cheap, easy…but never desperate”
That’s written in Bold Italics across the top of my ‘business’ cards.
Mortician? Veterinarian?. No wait – Retired Professor of Philosphy >; )
@TheCaptain :
Funny…ur mother has the same thing tattooed on her lower back. You know how I found out? I fucked her.
Man…that was cheap. I’m ashamed of myself, but I couldn’t resist.
I actually pulled your card outta the crack of a homeless guy the other day, Zilla.
“Will Stoop for Poop!”
I’m pretty sure that was the headline.
i suggested to my ma, that we celebrate pader’s day at summit headquarters. i could rotate between tables, i said it would be fun. she said “for you maybe”
Well as a rebuttal for you….what the hell are you doing pulling things out of homeless guys asses?
I work at the Rehabilitation Center for the Raped and Feral Homeless. Part of the job is to hose ’em down and antique them with baby powder before we dress them in burlap and return them to the wild. We discover odd things like that from time to time.
We’ve actually had a huge influx of clients lately. I’m assuming you’ve returned from Mexico?
“Rehabilitation Center for the Raped and Feral Homeless”
orly? Thats near the spot where I met ur mother. I thought it was weird that she was covered in baby powder and dressed in burlap.
You just won’t leave the poor lady out of this, eh? You’re lucky she doesn’t know the smack you’re talking about her. She’d give you the Devout Catholic Backhand, send ya right down to the 9th circle
haha alright man I’m done. I’ve had my fun.
Lets be friends!
Deal! Much better solution than trying to fight a giant Lizard who dines on Mexican food. I don’t want to end up as a Shart
in the event zilla’s looking for new methods of trolling:
