"Personally id much rather go in a nice cafe than an overpriced coffee shop, but then again i hate coffee anyway.
In which case you would not be going in one anyway would you?"
Just curious as to why the sarcasm and slating of other peoples posts today? |

Theres no way I would pay more than £2 for a coffee so for me it has to be a lovely cafe.
Malvern has a super one
shame hes not open until 5 or so cos I would love one of his all day breakfasts and huge mugs of coffee most days around now |

I think i'd use a privately owned cafe rather than a coffee shop chain - small business is difficult enough! Z |

Both would sell tea and other drinks too though and some people would maybe go in just because they do good food, cakes, etc  |

"Trouble is in the big shopping centres it is getting harder to find little independent cafes as only the big companies can afford the high rents."
I tend not to go into the big shopping centres - they're all exactly the same - like to do High Streets and use the small independent shops - there won't be any left soon! Z |

I'm the same
just use the side roads and there are independant businesses crying out for your custom and often offering a much more personal service...where everybody knows your name etc
It does'nt take a huge ammount of effort to avoid the high st
and the rewards are great |

It all depends how muddy i am, if filthy i don't like to sit in a nice shop amidst all the daytrippers so i'll sit outside the pub and not annoy people!
Coffee Kali in Hebden does wonderful cake! |

Surely thats drink driving?
Oh dear................  "
That's why i'm off road dear!
If i stuff up and hurt myself it's my fault and nobody else gets hurt - only have the one though as i get too 'brave' after two and attempt to ride stuff beyond my skill levels!
If a road ride then strictly coffee & cake. |

I don't like cafes so it would be coffee shops for me if I didn't resent paying a king's ransom for a cappuccino. My daughter lives in Starbuck's on my money!
I've invested in an all singing all dancing coffee machine: much cheaper! |

If we're in Amsterdam, then most definitely a coffeeshop. In England, a good old British cafff (usually run by Greeks or Turks!), but they make a bloody good cup of tea, strong enough to sluice the grease of the bacon butty-fat off your pipes! |
