Going out for coffee

One of the great pleasures in life for me is going out for coffee (and cake ?) either on my own or with DH or friends. I have done this since the age of 11 and hope to continue for a few more years.

A friend said to me ‘why go out for coffee when you can have one at home?’. It’s the event for me, watching others, reading the newspaper or a book, doing the sudoku, chatting with friends. We are lucky that we have many cafes in our town.

My favourite is run by Italians who play jazz, 40s music etc softly in the background. DH and I often say it reminds us of when we first met and would go to clubs together, rather nostalgic.

Do you have a favourite cafe and is it an event for you ?

Although I do like the idea of independent coffee shops I often find that the coffee is disappointing. I don’t like strong coffee and have found those served in the independents can be on the bitter side.

Costa coffee on the other hand is a lovely mild flavour. I do vary where I go though whether with DH or friends
