2 /5 Nasim Yousefi: Disappointing hospitality during a much-needed stop
My husband and I were on a motorcycle trip from North Vancouver to Fidalgo Island, and we were excited to find Moka Joe Coffee House as a cozy-looking spot to rest and recharge.
Before ordering, we simply asked to use the restroom after a long journey, but were told we could only have the key after placing an order. This felt surprisingly unwelcoming especially in such a quiet location where one might expect a bit more hospitality. As world travelers who have been on the road for over 60,000 km, this is not something we’ve encountered even in busier, high-traffic areas.
We left disappointed, as this policy and the way it was communicated felt disrespectful. I hope the management considers a more flexible, friendly approach toward travelers and visitors in the future.
