I agree that there are some very nice folks working there too. As someone who waited tables for more than half her life, I know how hard it is facing the public all day. I am a polite and prepared customer which is why I’m always puzzled. I still go there often and am always on my best behavior… as we all should be.

At Canto 6 they are extremely busy and have to deal with a lot of difficult people in great waves–many customers are of the “I will talk my 3 year old through every choice in this pastry case whether or not there are 5 people behind me” variety, while others are of the truly crazy but harmless variety. Also, there is a variety of customer who complains when they are too nice and chatty because it holds up the works. I find them (the staff) to be great as long as you know what you want and exchange brief but sincere pleasantries–as it should be.

Lyss and a, I’m sorry to hear that you find the C6 staff as mean as the goods. My experience continues to be closer to Liam’s.
Thanks to all for the comments!

I agree with Lyss. My bf and I marvel at the sullen and occasionally rude folks that work there. I took my mom there once and had to explain that “it’s not you… they are always like that.” They do make a mean scone though…

My wife and I love Canto 6. The staff always seem (naturally) cheerful and helpful. The baked goods are divine.

Funny, I live near Canto 6 and as much as I love the food, friends and I joke about the almost always sullen-looking employees. They bake a mean croissant though.
