I want to go to the Guardian's Shoreditch coffee shop, even though (because?) it sounds like an April Fools story...
What The Actual Fleecy Jul 2013 4:58pm, 1 Jul 2013 10,287 posts	0 What The Actual Fleecy None of our local Waitroses have a cafe, too small. There is a John Lewis in Reading which has a big eatery type place that does the most scrummy savoury pancakes made to order though. Not tried the coffee there. My coffee at home is better than most coffee shops so I don't tend to have takeaway coffee. Carluccio's coffee is good though. Starbucks is both ludicrously expensive and shit, I once stopped for a coffee at the Starbucks at Clacket Lane services and didn't know which was more astonishing: the price or the inferior quality.

shyfire Jul 2013 7:12pm, 1 Jul 2013 537 posts	0 shyfire Well I shall be for ever grateful to Costa's, Starbucks, Café Nero & their like. Their beans might not please all palates, they might be lining the pockets of big corporations but without them out here in the sticks local coffee shops & cafes might still be serving up instant powder in a chipped cup (circa 1980?) or stewed filter coffee sitting on the hotplate all day(1990?)
