Pretentious is a real thing.Diesal Caf is a tad bit better than say, Starbucks, and yet thinks it’s a lower East Side coffee shop.It’s not.The lattes were okay as long as the female baristas were working. Three males in a row were all bad apples, another 2 I noticed, didn’t seem to work much.Great dcor, average coffee. Wifi, average speed. Booted me off somewhat frequently.Also – The following happened like 4 or 5 times in variations at Diesal in my first week living and going there – everyday – after just having moved into Somerville:I ordered a caramel latte with a breakfast burrito, and scone. It took 23 minutes.One bro looking ‘barista’ told me my latte wasn’t mine, after I waited like 10 minutes staring at it dying in the coffee window.Then he insisted it was someone else’s, half paying attention, then without even looking at his screen, told me that it was mine after all, when he’d called out the wrong name several times. No acknowledgment of a mistake. At all.Five people stood there like idiots waiting for their average $7 drinks.Finally I took the dead latte to my table. Its heart, no longer recognizable. Then tasted it.No caramel! OMG.- I brought it back and asked for caramel.- The Bro did something seemingly abstract with his arms and the latte behind the counter.- I took it back to my table.- No caramel. Not even at the bottom.The guy there had actually just lied to me.On top of another guy serving me an old breakfast burrito, really–DRY. The original ‘bro’ then refused to remake my drink and gave me an attitude like I didn’t know what I was doing in his private club. Wow.Then, he refused to refund my coffee until I insisted more severely. Which I did, pretty severely insist upon.Never going again.
The Diesel is great. Good food, good coffee and tea, lots of awesome people. Word of caution: it’s always hugely busy and sometimes can be difficult to find a place to sit. Also the wifi isn’t free.
I’m from Seattle so not terribly impressed by the coffee , but it’s good for around here. I like the wide array of seating arrangements, and it’s cool they’ve got billiard tables. The ordering process felt like I was at a fast food place, but they’re so busy I guess it can’t be helped.
