This may be just me but I now feel that anywhere that
writes café with a ‘k’ should be a place to be avoided. You won’t find fun,
quirky people there; you’ll find people that want to be fun and quirky but are
instead insanely annoying. And, in this particular case, just thought it would
bring them more money.
Villa and Hut Kafe is out at the DFO near the airport.
They make amazing chai and, when I was there at least, pretty good food
focusing on unusual offerings and foreign flavours. I liked it. The owner had
previously been an IT consultant but
decided he could make more money buying a café. Please see this post for my opinion on owners like this. So the
place ran a little weirdly but was pretty good.
The middle aged owner spent most of his time trying to
chat up the younger wait staff or sitting in the corner swearing at his laptop,
occasionally coming over to make inexplicable minor changes to the systems.
There was nothing really extraordinary about this place,
whenever people asked I’d just tell them it’s exactly like working at any other
café, just different coloured uniform. The only thing that really stands out to
me was one of the other staff members. She was one of the most annoying people
I’ve ever worked with. Just a regular pain in the ass. I’m pretty certain I
quit just to get away from her. She went through 4 house mates in the few
months that I was there and could never understand why they all moved in, and
then out again so quickly.
Anyway.
Just another hospitality job in a café, they’re fun,
short term and plentiful. If you like chai, go check this place out.
