Red Emma's Bookstore Coffeehouse

Never been before walked in, and the atmosphere was a pretty cool vibe. Nice decor. I walked to the counter to look at the menu and get recs, etc. The person working was masked up (its required there and no issue with that) but I said it was my first time, was being super friendly, trying to get some help...and this person just stared at me and didn't greet me or really engage or say anything. I felt very put off by the lack of customer service and just left. For a co-op... doesn't really give that vibe. I've worked at co-ops before. Customer service should always be first. Shame because the menu looks good. But if someone is gonna stare at me and not engage, then I don't feel comfortable be...

Love Red Emmas as a coffeehouse, especially for presentations and workers co-op! One thing I wish they would bring back is the program from North Avenue, where you could buy a meal for someone in need. It used to be that you could purchase magnets, representing an entree, soup, or coffee. This magnet would be put on a wall by the cashier, then someone in need would come in and request a free meal. If there were magnets on the wall, the staff would prepare it for them. It was a nice way to support the community.

Cold interior. A lot quieter than the previous location. Felt awkward talking to who I was visiting with. Many less food options. Not worth the increased distance from my place to visit
