You might think I was advertising Bill's Produce Store; well if Bill's cafe wasn't overpriced, overcrowded, and pretentious then I might be. I actually enjoyed the food that was served to me in this old warehouse turned cafe; I couldn't fault the chefs. The deserts are hugely over the top affairs and lovely to look at.
It was the attitude of the company that I took offence to. Don't let Bill's organic "come join our family" marketing fool you.
After being charged extra for a spoonful of maple syrup, I wouldnt suggest
Bill's cafe to anyone. Their prices sit on the high end of the scale, so they shouldn't charge extra for items that would naturally be included in a dish. Maybe its policy to serve dishes without the required dressings and sauces so that they can charge you for them afterwards. And the best part is that they dont tell you that youre being charged for these 'extras'. You expect these tactics in chain establishments but would hope for something better from a place that brands itelf in the way that Bill's does.
[And as a side note they are
funny about people taking photos in their cafe... not as inviting a welcome as one would hope for. Shame on Bill's.]
