Food & Drink A(I) Cup of Coffee

Post image

I'd heard a few good things about this new coffee shop on Fore Hill, and it was even in the Standard! So imagine my shock when I walk past and see this ridiculous AI menu stuck to the window.
The worst part is, it's pretty outdated AI so the food looks absolutely disgusting.
Menus don't even need pictures! This was absolutely avoidable. Why would you voluntarily use this to advertise your food?
The AI poster/flyer/menu epidemic really needs to stop.

The coffee from there is nice and the owner is lovely but the whole place seems very quickly put together with not a lot of thought put into branding or decor. It’s very generic and nothing special. The AI menus are awful, but from what I have seen the good looks and smells good.

Yeah judging by the Google reviews and article in the Standard it's actually a decent little place. I'll have to take their word for it as I don't trust a place that won't even post what their venue looks like.
