Default Favourite Coffee Shop?
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.

Mine is a small buisness in Newcastle called Heaton Perk.

It's so nice and cosy in there and they make lush milkshakes and coffee's

I prefer non-chain ones too. Especially when a little old lady serves you cream cakes LOL

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.
