Motor Oil Coffee Albany Slip 12

I had a lovely morning here! I went about 930 on a Friday and was the only one there. The barista, Jay, was super friendly and chatty. I had a pistachio latte which was delicious. I stayed to read a book in quiet and got a comfy chair in the corner. There’s an outdoor seating area which I would love to sit at during my next visit. Highly recommend!

As a resident of Slip 12 I was very excited about the idea of having a nice coffee shop in the building. I gave some leeway in the beginning when the store first opened as I understand that opening a new location can be difficult. However, things are just so poorly run and maintained. There are multiple occasions where I had a bad experience and it’s disappointing. Here are a few: - No one is to be found in the shop, during operating hours, with no indication that the shop was closed ( doors unlocked ) - found that my latte has curdled milk in it ( multiple times ) - Barista tried charging me $3 extra when getting a bag of ground coffee because they “didn’t have any singles” - hours are strange - told to leave front tables because I haven’t ordered an item in a while - inconsistent discou
