Booths are good. I was making fun of our collective fat butts and how much we love to park them in booths.

I would recommend they cut down the number of menu items, THEN work on each of them to make sure they are the best that can be offered.

Second, the counter service is atrocious. Yes, it’s cool and laid-back and hippie, but it still sucks because I WANT TO ORDER MY DAMN FOOD. Why are the counter people always wandering around as if no one really is in charge of the counter? I have been there several times in the evening trying to purchase some baked goods (New Day scones are the best). Each time, various staff members looked directly at me then walked away without a word. So I stood and stood and stood…and finally two times I just left the money on the counter and walked out.

Anyhoo, World Cafe (or New Day Bakery or whatever they call it today) is not bad. I gave it 3 stars. That’s not so bad is it? By the way, they make the worst cafe lattes in all of Eugene. But I know that’s not “they’re” speciality…

And the accusation that booths are for “too fat” butts, or that there is some connection between corporatism and booths, is crazy. Booths are great! Btw, since you somehow have gotten this far in life without noticing, booths are especially good for couples, kids, and people who like lounge a little.

Ironic.
