Coffee Shops

Never had a drink of coffee myself, tea here everytime. One of my friends has an espresso stand, just looking at the menu gives me a headache, I wouldn't know where to start. You can sue me for supporting a Starbucks today though, I just popped in the local one at the Fred Meyer to see if they had a marionberry muffin. They did, so I bought one. Had to go there, the local bakery where I get mine was out earlier this morning...:(

Used to be a coffee shop demon but I've nearly stopped drinking the stuff. A friend's developed a fondness for caffeine so I go in more than usual but I buy tea instead. Much cheaper option but £1.20 for a teabag, hot water and milk still seems high!

In general I don't mind coffee shops but it's mostly Starbucks, Cafe Nero and such in Manchester, you're better off with the pubs.

as much as i love coffee. i don't really go into coffee shops. i much prefer a pub. these days they absolutely confuse. what happened to the days when you just ordered a white coffee with sugar, or a cappuccino.

All of the coffee chains - Cafe Nero, Starbucks, etc are all crap. Overpriced and nothing but a load of froth.

It makes me laugh how these coffee bars in the UK are so desperately trying to feel like that you are supping your Latte in mainland Europe, with their shiny bistro chairs, complete with tables and umbrellas outside on the pavement. 'Wow, I feel like I could be in Munich! No, wait a minute, I'm still in Stoke..' Shite.

Of course, living out in mainland Europe now, I am addicted to coffee as the tea is, quite frankly, awful :shudder:

I'll put the kettle on then,shall i?

we had some good ones in bremen, like tschibo, and eduscho. the people in bremen are very proud of their coffee, as they import it and roast it. sometimes the whole city smells of roasted coffee, yum. bremen supplies much of europe with coffee.

we have quite a few locally owned coffee shops around here (not too many Starbux due to smart city zoning). I don't hang out in them but buy super high octane coffee to go. There's one in particular that makes me feel especially cracked out. A fun/scary feeling.
