young door cafe


we've heard, read and seen so much about young door cafe located on the north coast

heard friends talk about it

read people blog about it

seen tv stations report about it

all positive, nothing negative

been wanting to go check it for ourselves for a while now but never had the chance

with today being a national holiday and no work, we decided to take this oppotunity

what a disappointment!

the place was a lot smaller than expected

the food and drinks were just horrible

the "oh so great, beautiful and fabulous" greek architecture and decor everyone raved about?

pretty much non-existent

some steps painted in blue doesn't make a place "greek"

the only thing that i thought wasn't half bad was the ocean view but then there's only about 50 other cafes lined up along the coast with the same view!

looks can be deceiving. my latte coffee... looked great, tasted like shit. rather have a 3-in-1 instant coffee.

young door cafe
this was actually not too bad...

young door cafe
this was really bad. like chewing on cardboard.

and then, to make things worse... it was bumper to bumper traffic for over an hour on the way home

took me almost 2 hours to get home!

boyd... amen! i already knew but when your very pregnant wife demands that you take her out somewhere, you definitely comply and put up with the it all, no matter how bad it is! :P

Obblogatory... yup, the latte was horrible. looks like i should've ordered the cappuccino.

PurelyCoffeeBeans... glad you like the place. i probably just caught them on a bad day but at least Obblogatory agrees that their latte was bad. doubt i'll ever go back again nor would i recommend it to anyone.
