    Starbucks for me too. I dont like coffee but am a big fan of the vanilla bean frap, whipped cream and caramel sauce. Also a hot chocolate with one shot of choc.

    Starbucks is minging, the coffee is too weak, Nero's is much better

    Both of them are overrated and over-priced. But if I had to make a choice it would be Coffee Republic

    neither, places like this are for ponces, when you go in its full up with suits and people saying 'what what what'

    so my answer is a proper cup of brew (tea innit) coffeee is for the yanks!

    I'm with Valley. Try and find an old family run coffee bar witha bit of charecter instead (hard as they are disappearing fast)

    tea, unless maid at home in your own china is never any good

    all those coffee houses are overpriced. £2.50 for a coffee? you're all bigger mugs than the ones they serve the drink in.

    £1.80 for this Latte I'm sipping this morning, tea unless it's Yorkshire tea ain't worth paying for

    Now then Cheeky, the finest tea blending is done in Yorkshire. Proper cup of tea, none of this Red Label muck you get in most places

    Sorry, bit grumpy this morning. I'll make myself a cuppa in a minute - approx cost 8p - and feel much better.

    I normally get my latte from the local italian sandwich shop in the city with my toast. Sometimes (when hungover and unable to face food) i really crave a proper large Latte. Lovely. I think they are overpriced but I dont think im a mug for paying it, dont do it that often. I dont really notice the difference between any of them, i just go to the one most convenient to me which i think might be a starbucks but i honestly dont know!

    All I ever want is a cup of fresh black coffee that is bigger than an espresso, smaller than bucket and costs no more than a quid. Impossible in the chains, they have to justify their prices by giving you a bucket sized drink. Anyway unless I'm knackered prefer a nice strong cuppa.

    PS I did use Starbucks for a crappacino last year.

    Saying all I've said, that does read like the most poncy cup of coffee I've ever seen.

    Mocha Valencia?

    I think I am with MCS on this NEITHER as both overpriced & anyone mug enough to pay £3 for a Coffee is a Middle class wannabe.

    PG Tips Pyramids for me or if out any tea at a proper CAFF not a poncy CAFE.
