de clieu opened last year, by the people who brought us seven seeds (in carlton) and i popped in spur of the moment as i dashed out for lunch two rainy mondays ago with a broken shoe (so i actually was half-limping/half-shuffling) and spotted some nice nursing student friends of mine on their break.the coffee was perfect and service quick.
the crockery the same as at the cornershop (so i felt at home immediately) and while the staff were grumpy and aloof (perhaps they were just looking down on my $10 broken shoe), i've kind of started to expect it...this is not a good thing, surely. but this current trend of service with a snarl is a debate for another day.
thumbs up.

ReplyDeleteso cheeky.
ReplyDeleteDon't get me started - what the f*#K are you doing in the service industry if you can't crack a smile. There is nothing cool or groovy about being a tosser.
