I can assure you that I am neither but it doesn't seem worth it to try and convince you otherwise. No place gets it right 100% of the time and it's unfortunate that you went there on an off day... but are insults towards the reviewer really necessary? disappointed: So I’m a yuppie and/or hipster because you had a bad experience at a place I happened to like?

I went to the Trails website, clicked on the bottom picture as instructed by one of the many stellar reviews for this place where I did find the menu: first two items on the menu are meat pie $4.50, vegan pie $4.50. Imagine my dismay when my total for a mushroom and cashew vegan pie and a small coffee cost all but $9. So with tip, this snack (it could never be called a meal, the pie was flat and almost missing any filling) cost $10. The coffee was not filled up and had been sitting on the burner for some time; tasted like crap. Worst of all, when I asked to get a breakdown of the charges, the girls there seemed absolutely perplexed: "Meat pies?" "Maybe you were looking at the mini pies" "Vegan pies are different." Two dollars different than their own website's menu, perhaps they charge extra for grease-saturation. I could not fault the music and nature took care of the rest of the vibe, thankfully. I should perhaps have made the connection earlier, but I am becoming convinced that a hipster is just a self-consciously raggedy yuppie ("it's good-I mean, it's great-I mean, perfection!-because I paid more for it). What a letdown! So very disappointed.
