We came in on a Saturday afternoon to get a bagel and lox sandwich. She said the kitchen was closed. She was not nice and had a funky attitude. We left out and went back to get a drink. I asked what time the kitchen closed and she said 2:30. Well, we got there at 2:20. The manager needs to be aware of how employees are treating their customers.
Outstanding coffee shop with a great selection of food as well. A real neighborhood gem.
I've been going to Robust for years! The owners are friendly, accommodating, and knows their regular customers. We go there for breakfast and lunch. I have not had a bad experience! Great place to work, study, or meet a friend.
Cool neighborhood coffee shop that stays busy. The food is good and the service is great. This is a good remote working spot, but they don’t have many outlets to charge your computer.
Such a great spot to have in the neighborhood. Everything I’ve had in the menu has been very good! And the staff is always very friendly and quick preparing orders.
The smoothie was good. Service was adequate. The grits were great! The gravy for the biscuits and gravy was not like any gravy I’d ever had before and it tasted weird. I don’t know, it wasn’t bad but it wasn’t gravy. I don’t know how else to describe it. The sausage was really good! The more that I think about it, and the consistency was like gravy for potatoes. Not gravy for biscuits. And the biscuits, we’re not, they were not baking powder biscuits. They were yeast biscuits? They taste so good. I guess the whole point of this review was that while it tasted good it was not what I was expecting and it was not traditional.
I still love this place after been going for 12 years but ever since this Vaccinated Card required, I feel treated unfairly by Couple of Young Women Staffs, they been knowing me as their regular customers, why was I the only one been asked for AN IDENTIFICATION CARD with Vaccinated Card and then she was giving me an Attitude, and I did see that the young guy was back working there and he was always rude to me. Again I feel treated unfairly and they just lost me as an customer of 12 years. Unfortunately I am done.
The coffee comes in many flavors. Interesting Robust Coffee at 63rd and Woodlawn was there when I moved into the Hyde Park community. The Starbucks on Stony, where I purchased my lattes, has closed, and boarded. Really people Robust is not a Starbucks. The coffee I purchased today was not robust. Beats that I brew at home!
The service was quick and friendly. Coffee tastes great. Staff was very knowledgeable about the whole bean coffee I wanted to purchase.I only give 4 stars because the egg bacon and cheese on English muffin was absolutely obliterated with salt. The sandwiches had more salt than the Pacific Ocean. I love salty food, but this was outrageous.I still ate the sandwich and now I look like the baddie from Last Crusade who chose the wrong goblet.
Great little bistro if you don't mind the boutique pricing. Best time to go is after 8:30 when the student's from the local high school are all gone and the lines shorten. The wait and money are worth it because their menu is phenomenal.
