Twk Community Market Cafe - PIERMONT

This restaurant is convenient for me since I live nearby. The food is pretty good, but I've had experiences with rude service from the staff on multiple occasions. Because of that, I’ve decided not to return. Food rating: 4/5.

They prepare some of their own food, such as their delicious roast beef, and you can really taste the difference. Their sandwiches are incredible as well. I highly recommend this place! Rating: 5/5 for the food.

I usually read reviews before trying out a new restaurant. I'm visiting this place for the first time tomorrow, and I have never seen such an absurd collection of negative reviews for any restaurant. Many of the comments seem to come from people who just love to complain, often referred to as the "entitled" crowd. I want to clarify that I have no connection to this restaurant, and I plan to return later to update my opinion with a fair and honest perspective.

The staff’s rudeness was also notable. For instance: 1) the older female greeter who claimed that the empty tables right outside the restaurant were off-limits for takeout, but, just this once, would allow us to sit there; 2) the younger female barback who, when we asked for water—despite standing right next to the water tap—told us we could get it from the bathroom sink. After I urged her to fill our glasses (who wants to bring food and utensils into a restroom?), she tried to justify her response by saying the water is the same. To top it off, when we went to get extra napkins and a knife after being ignored, she snapped at us. They also charge a 4% fee for using credit cards with no signage to inform customers. While this place might be one of the first you come across in town, there are plenty of cleaner options with far friendlier staff. I highly recommend skipping this one!

The ambiance is quite unusual. From the outside, it often appears empty or like it's closed. A friend persuaded me to step inside. To the right is a restaurant offering fantastic food and a lovely bar; to the left, there's a deli takeout counter, though I'm not sure why. The back area is only partially occupied. However, the food and service in the restaurant section are truly outstanding. I definitely recommend it.
