Thanks everyone for the comments. As you can see, there is a little bit of disagreement on this topic. We’ll just play the cards out and see where things go. Thanks!

To me, it seems that the shop owners should deal with such comments — if seen on a website with open comment forums — with a comment themselves. There is nothing new about people being vocal with their opinions and it typically is the group that has a problem that try to talk the most. I have been talking on behalf of Cafe Evoke in Bozeman Montana at public meetings and have had people stand up and interrupt me to yell and scream. The ones that were for our ideas only came up to me after and in private.

I think that all comments should be directed to the owners directly but if there is a problem, let the owners comment as well.

Hi Chris

I agree 100% I’ve seen some things in the past on other sites that really don’t have a great basis. I think the only time real negative things should be published is when they have approached the owner/manager and not got the positive response they expected. So easily people will make harmful throw away comments about people’s livelihoods without even telling them, or thinking of the consequences. I also question the ability of some people who leave very negative comments, how are they qualified and what is their background to come to their negative conclusions.

But I also agree that if we want to raise the bar of true quality this information should be shared, but lets just think about it before we speak.

Great Blog keep up the great work

Ah yes… Freedom of speech is a tricky thing…

My opinion is that coffee shop owners need to lighten up and realize that if people are saying things on the internet, they’re probably saying them double as much to their friends in real life. And if what people are saying is negative, then the coffee shop owners should take these comments and try to learn from them, not suppress them.
