Ok this is only a slight exaggeration. I was biking in my neighborhood, and stopped off at Insomnia Cafe yesterday. I put my stuff down and immediately ordered coffee. One of the people left from my area, so the Asian waitress comes to clean off the stuff. She is not a smiler. She grabs the soda cup which I did not want to leave on my bike in the heat. I said, ""That's mine."" I take it back. An hour or so later, the next person leaves, and N azi waitress comes by to take his one cup. She again grabs my still full soda cup, (second time!) and then my unused napkins, all right beside me. I said, ""That's mine!"" and tried not to look at her like she is nuts. She would not let go of the soda cup and I had to take the cup out of her hand, without touching her of course. (She had deliberately shoved my soda cup inside the other guy's used glass. Then THREW my napkins down.) She was really in a huff now (not a far departure from the normal attitude) and stormed off. Yeah. I had been reading a book with my ipod on, calmly drinking coffee now and again. She storms back in and said to not bring in drinks from another place. Anyone know the owner or manager's email address or website? I called for this info just now and N aziWaitress answered, saying there was no email address or website information. ""What's regarding?"" I eat out all over WeHo, L.A. & Hollywood, and buy from 1 or 2 places and never does the management mind when I also bring in something else. Even if this is the policy (and I saw candy wrappers etc from other customers in the cushions etc) the waitress' manner is just not kosher.
Pros: Atmosphere great
Cons: Asian waitress very unfriendly and even hostile
