Bad customer service. Brought my own cup as they won't serve in real cup even when dine-in but "manager" told junior staff not to give me b.y.o. cup discount. Then after sitting some 15-20min reading came over to say they don't allow studying or lecturing. The place was empty !!! I'm not even staying 1hr not hoarding a big table.
