More great options are better for us all. Sadly, almost immediately Boxkite revealed itself to be a precious shop- great coffees prepared preciously- preciously slow and preciously pretentious. Not all the people involved in Boxkite led to this. There were good people that worked there, but it's very difficult to challenge the vision and personality of ownership. Hospitality has to be a focus for any service industry establishment and it has to be trained. Oddly enough this coffee shop existed not to serve the community it once asked to support it. Boxkite identified itself as a place only for the few people with elite tastebuds sophisticated enough for the coffees they served. Here's the point that all good business owners realize... Your business exists to meet the needs of the customers and when you stop meeting their needs or you disrespect them they leave and they don't come back. That's something to respect. Respect your community and embrace your people. Keep drinking coffee where you feel comfortable and are cherished. Go to Third Rail, Everyman Espresso, Joe, Abraço, go to fucking Mudd if you want just don't go anywhere that has management and staff that doesn't appreciate you.
