Because I've been at Hearing, Speech, and Deafness Center (HSDC) so often in the past couple of weeks, I recently decided to make the 2-3 block walk to Queen Bee Café for lunch. Best decision ever: The lady who took my order immediately noticed that I'm deaf/HOH, and was super-patient in describing to me the difference between a crumpwich and a crumpette (she even showed me photos on her own smartphone). She brought my food/drink to me instead of calling my name, and signed THANK YOU to me. Way to train these guys to be #deaffriendly, HSDC! Additional: I love the thoughtful, well-lit décor ... especially the fact that they re-use their jelly/jam jars into cute flower vases. These details do not go unnoticed!
