If I can put zero stars I could. My friends and I bought 3 desserts + 2 drinks during our visit at Afterthoughts. We were studying and very focus on our work. The area we were in was kind of noisy with chatter from other students studying, but we didn t mind.

We were told to leave, not privately, but in front of the whole cafe because we weren t paying customers and were not allowed to sit there to study. We told the lady we bought 3 desserts + 2 drinks, but she demanded we pack up our things and go. At first we were confused and offered to clean up our table and put away our books, but we were told no and we had to leave because we weren t paying customers when we have bought 3 dessert + 2 drinks before sitting down. The table next to us were also students studying and arrived around the same time we have and we re not told to leave. We realize we were the only coloured people in the store and felt extremely embarrassed and we will not be coming back or recommend this cafe to our friends and family. This is extremely disrespectful and uncalled for and I hope the store can clean up their act as I have had people reach out and say they had a similar experience.
