So, I can’t have an opinion?

I posted an article about a popular restaurant on another site. I personally did not like the restaurant, which wasn’t the popular opinion. The regulars let me know it.

Planet Earth Eco Cafe

This was another one that I’d walk past for years but I finally went! The Eco Cafe is known for its fair trade coffees, vegan & vegetarian dishes, baked goods, and smoothies.
