I asked for chai tea latte and ask for no sugar, then the stuff asked me do you like vanilla or spice or regular, I don't know that vanilla contains sugar and said vanilla. I thought I was vary clear that I don't want sugar and it's the stuff's response to tell me there's sugar in the vanilla version after I said I want no sugar.
Ordered regular chai, tasted spoiled... disgusting

Ordered a latte, took them over 20 minutes to get it to me. Incompetence at its finest.
Staff was incredibly rude for no reason.
