BIG THUMBS DOWN!! We picked this place excitedly because of the gelato and because of all the cafes in the market, this one was the least crowded (now I know why). Walking in we saw the menu written on the chalk board and as we read it the guy behind the counter barked at us to read the paper menu he pointed to at the register. We obeyed and ordered promptly. The girl taking our order was impatient and irritated that she had to wait on us at all. I paid for my order with a credit card and she handed me two different duplicate copies and explained which I was to keep. My 8 yr old daughter started talking to me at this moment too so I was a bit distracted. I signed the reciept and kept the yellow copy for myself (which is usually the protocol) and tried handing the girl the white copy but she literally made a sound as if to be annoyed and snatched the yellow copy from my hand and threw the second set of receipts at me (I got it - those were mine). I apologized to her for being distracted by my daughter and she said nothing. Our panini was prepared and delivered by another female. I asked if I could trouble her for an extra paper plate since my daughter and I were sharing the panini (yes, that's what they serve you your food on - paper plates). She asked me if I asked for one when I placed my order. I said that I didn't realize I needed to. She begrudgingly brought me another. The panini was stone cold in the middle. The service was horrendous. I've never been treated so badly for giving my money to support a business! Needless to say, we did not get their gelato. We went up the street and found good ol' ice cream from a very friendly and humble retailer who actually thanked us for our business.
Pros: Convenient corner location
Cons: Everything else was terrible. Especially the service.
