Proving there's not such thing as bad publicity, a local coffee shop has issued a hilarious comeback after being labelled 'overpriced' and 'pretentious'. After receiving a customer review calling it a 'hipster cliché', the team behind Yas Bean, an independent coffee spot in Macclesfield, took to social media to poke fun at the negativity.
The three-star review, which was posted to Google called the spot on Buxton Road an "Overpriced, beautiful but undeservingly pretentious little coffee shop on the Macclesfield school run." The review also added: "Coffee wasn't even good. Hipster cliche."
Rather than shy away from the criticism, Yas Bean responded earlier this week by posting a video entitled 'A Festive Google Review' on its Instagram account of its team, dressed in a 'hipster' fashion with a screenshot of the negative review emblazoned over it. The video, which was soundtracked by the song 'You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch', also includes the staff members walking outside and posing with a chalkboard outside the shop with the words "hipster cliché" written in white chalk.
