I’ve been passing Virgo Daily Cafe every morning on my way to work for months, always wondering about their prices. My curiosity got the best of me today when I smelled coffee at 7 AM. Walked right up to the counter, stomach growling.
First Impressions & Ordering
Grabbed their fancy menu laminated on wooden boards. Latte was listed at $7, croissant at $6. Thought that was robbery! Barista guy pushed their “signature Cloud Latte” hard. Added avocado toast when he said “best in town”. Already felt my wallet crying before ordering.
- Cloud Latte (regular size): $8.50
- Plain Croissant: $6
- Avocado Toast: $12.50
Paid $30 with taxes – enough for groceries. Told myself “treat yourself” like an idiot.
The Actual Experience
Sat by window watching baristas. Fancy setup with plants, jazz music, laptops everywhere. Waited 15 minutes – slow as hell for empty cafe.
Cloud Latte looked Instagram-worthy with foam cloud. First sip tasted burned like old coffee beans. Croissant? Soggy bottom and cold! Avocado toast had nice presentation but two tiny pieces for $12.50? Felt ripped off.
Overheard couple whispering “not worth it” while eating sandwiches. Guy next to me complained about $9 juice – said tasted like supermarket brand.
Final Verdict After My Experiment
Paid $30 breakfast while Dunkin’ does $8. Only good for photos, not flavors or satisfaction. Atmosphere? Meh, smelled old milk near trash can.
Now I know why I see people walk out after checking menu prices. Wallet voted hell no – my stomach agrees. Got heartburn after eating.
