Coffee Morning in the Cafe

Coffee and walnut cake mmmmmmm!
Does anyone remember Fullers walnut cake? Oh that icing, that sponge, that flavour...

Pretty china cups and saucers seem to be making a comeback, as do cake stands...….cake! drool.

I so agree about these soulless chains. I love an old fashioned tea room!

A really nice cappuccino and a Welsh cake is a great treat in our independent coffee shop in town or in the cafe in our local park.

Although am mainly a tea drinker [after dinner coffee an exception] Mr L complains that if he orders a latte or cappuccino when out and about mid morning, he never knows what size cup will be given.We go to mainly independent places, and they vary wildly, a 'small' in one place is medium in others, and large could mean a fairly normal cup through to a mug size or a small bucket!

I'm new to this site, so just joining in on a thread that appears to have been going for a while .

I'm a 'Costa Flat White' kinda-gal - made with their 'Character Roast' and served 'Extra Hot' ................. just wish that they did it in a larger size cup !

I had to look up Cortado !

Black coffee or Earl Grey for me. Our lovely independent tea room closed down , so haven’t indulged lately. We’re awash with chains, which all seem so samey and soulless.

I like Waitrose's Americano with cold milk.

If feeling good, I have a black decaff. But not often. This morning I will take a flask of coffee with me to the allotment where I will be picking the plums. I hope they are not all maggotty.

I frequent costa and have a skinny cortado.

I do frequent the independent cafe accross the road as well as whatever chain is near bye when shopping , but more inclined to have a meal than just coffe at the independent , I do like to shop in independent stores too , but Costa has the nicest lemon tarts

Always try to use independent coffee shops. Normally have a skinny latte.

I like a skinny cappuccino (with chocolate sprinkles) and a toasted teacake

Oops meant to say if possible I use an independent cafe, have an extremely good one down the end of my road with a beautiful sunny courtyard garden.

Decaf Latte and a Danish pastry, preferably apricot.

Americano black.

Just had a very hot walk home from yoga.
so I'm considering
a tall glass of iced coffee with floating ice cream.

Aggie, I'm a sucker for a Costa lemon tart, but prefer to give my custom to independent cafés.

Mine's a skinny chai latte with cinnamon sprinkles.
Iced coffee of some sort in Summer.

Not coffee at all Mick but Earl Grey tea, and a Danish pastry, especially the custard and apricot kind.

Americano with cold milk for me, and buttered crumpet would go down nicely. Or two buttered crumpets. And some jam......

Mocha Frappé

Flat white at the local independent coffee shop or, even better, at the restaurant managed by DD2 who makes superb coffee!

Costa , an Americano and a lemon tart , it has a posh name but memory fails

A cup of americano with cold milk and a toasted tea cake would do the trick. ?

Americans, no milk, no sugar. I like my coffee strong and black.
