Que Tal has been my local cafe for three years and I have spent a lot of time there. I've been there late on weekdays when the place is quiet, as well as busy weekend mornings where you often have to share a table. I like the coffee drinks, the bagels are fresh, and the sandwiches are delicious. I have two complaints, though. One is the price of items. In the time I have been a frequent customer I have seen the prices for the sandwiches increase to the point that they cost as much as a sandwich + side might cost elsewhere. The other complaint is that I have had excellent service at times, but on the downside, I have had really bad service (waiting forever to order, wrong food, staff talking instead of tending to customers). It's a shame because when my favorite servers are there, it's a great place to read a book while having a latte and a veggie sandwich (the veggie sandwich is especially good). But when it's bad, it's so bad that I start to question my patronage. This of course does not take away from the quality of the food, but I wish prices would stop increasing and that it was more consistent an experience. That said, it's usually still worth it, but can be a mixed bag.
