What's your favourite coffee shop?

For me, you can't beat Starbucks, although Coffee Republic and Caffè Nero come close.
Can't stand Costa though.

Never heard of any of them. [Well I've heard of Starbucks but like I said a few weeks ago in a thread, I didn't know they existed in the UK- thought they were a US thing]

I HATE Costa, the coffee is always cold. I chose Startbucks, as I imagine other will just to seem fashionable. Coffee Republic isn't bad neither.

Haha seriously?! Wow!
There is a Starbucks on every corner in Manchester, along with a Subway on every corner. I am gonna say Starbucks for the sheer fact that they make "Frappachino's" and I have an addiction to them!

Starbucks but I don't want to vote it just to seem trendy. I do generally like the coffee.

Oh OK, I'm the only Costa fan.



It's cool, I just hate you all a little bit forever.

But then the coffee comes from a jar of Nescaffe

I voted for Caffé Nero, especially as I set up a number of facebook group for particular stores.

I was at the South Gosforth branch today.

My one gripe is with head office that changed the weekday opening times so I can no longer go every morning

My other vote would be for Central Bean, which is brand new and can be found on Gallowgate in Newcastle upon Tyne

Actually a nice small branch out there is "Naked Bean"
They do LOVELY hot chocolates, they top it with cream, sprinkles, flake crumbles and marshmallows, and you actually get a spoon to eat it with :P

They all just taste the same and are overpriced. I'd rather buy clothes.
