A Melbourne café has framed a brutal one star review which branded staff ‘hipster t*ssers’ after the incident lead to a boom in business.
The café received the review after a customer was given a flat white instead of a latte, which he claimed staff then refused to remake.
He then warned that the venue would struggle to keep the doors open, with him and his large office of colleagues taking their business elsewhere.
But the owner says the café has thrived following the incident, despite other businesses being forced to close as operation costs skyrocket alongside inflation.
A Melbourne café has proudly framed and displayed a one star review (pictured) that chastised their ‘hipster t*sser’ staff for not remaking his latte that was served as a flat white
A regular to the café posted a photo of the framed review to Reddit to mixed opinions from fellow users.
‘It’s a latte and a flat white. the difference is so marginal its like having a cry about rock salt v pink salt. get off ya horse and drink your overly milky coffee,’ one user wrote.
‘That’s a lot of vitriol for 0.5cm of foam,’ another wrote.
Other users were more critical of the café’s efforts to frame the review instead of rectifying the order at the time.
‘This isn’t ridiculous enough to be worth framing. It leaves out too much context which could indeed warrant a sassy review,’ a user wrote.

‘The whole thing makes this café look dumb,’ a second wrote.
‘I’m buying coffee 5 days a week at 6 bucks a pop for give or take 50 weeks…if the service is sh**ty and they take the piss out of customers, I’m just going to spend $1500ish a year elsewhere,’ a third wrote.
The reviewer stated that neither he or his colleagues would return and that the venue would struggle to keep the doors open, however business has been booming since the incident
The business’ boom in the wake of the incident goes against a current trend of hundreds of family-run restaurants, cafés and shops going to the wall across Australia.
Some hospitality venues have seen costs across all of their operation costs from costs of produce to utilities.
The situation is so dire that some small-business owners are even selling their homes or working second jobs to try to make ends meet.
‘No matter what avenue you turn they are asking for more money,’ Rocky Pitarelli, a former owner of an Italian restaurant what was forced to shut down told Daily Mail Australia.
‘Chicken was $9.80 a kilo three months ago – now it’s $11.50. A drum of oil was $40 – now it’s $85.
‘Chips – the humble French fry – used to cost us $20 a box – now we are at $67.
‘Utilities used cost us $500 a month – now it’s $700 and today they are saying it will be another 20 per cent.
Electricity bills have already surged across the country, with more than 500,000 households facing another increase of at least 20 per cent this winter.
