Harrisons Coffee Co - Winnipeg

Disappointed and underwhelmed.I gave them two stars, as I like the hot chocolate I had from them last winter.But yesterday’s experience was subpar, went on a Saturday evening. We were the only customers there, and there were two staff working. They rang my friend’s order first. Since there were two of them (which is usual for a coffee shop). I went right up to the till after my friend to give my order. The two of them were both at the bar, chatting and making two drinks which took longer than it should and is not a two-person job (I know that because I used to be a barista). I waited by the ordering area for 3+ minutes. (People may think it’s not a long time. But we were the only people there, and since there are two of them, why can’t they take my order right after my friend’s then proceed to their chatter by the bar. It gives a poor impression of the baristas and the cafe by ignoring a customer that was clearly in plain view and for the customers to hear the baristas chatting nonstop by the bar).One of them finally rang my order, got the size of my drink wrong, and made it quicker than my friend’s. Midway through making my drink another customer came and they quickly attended to him. So, I want to understand why they had to make me wait when they can clearly do better than that?This may appear petty to some, but the service was subpar and the drinks were mediocre, too – which I didn’t expect because I liked the last one I had before.PSMy friend, who was also an ex-barista, said that maybe one of the staff are on break. Then they shouldn’t have been on the floor, and if they’re helping the other, shouldn’t it be faster than what happened?

Harrisons Coffee Co- The Forks, Winnipeg, MbExcellent experience- best coffee Ive had in the City, great location and the lone barista was friendly, fast, very entertaining, and professional. Highly recommend.

Grabbed a couple iced coffees. Delicious. The barista was accommodating and friendly. Great location, great coffee.

Best tasting iced latte I've had in a long time! The service was slow with only one employee on a Monday afternoon.Had heard about Harrison's new location on Broadway, just down the street from my place. Will be trying out that location soon.

Updated review due to timely response from owner. I went today, and wasn't aware of the public wifi. Thanks for getting back to me.
