There and to the left a bit |
Of the two Costa would get my vote - prefer the coffee, they have a much better loyalty scheme that doesn't expect you to bank money so they can make interest off it (unlike Starbucks) and they don't have the dubious attitude towards paying UK tax either |

the right frame of mind -London |
Neither -I hate branded venues with no soul -would far rather support an independent coffee shop if I can -and actually feel like I can chat with the satff without them having to meet their smile quota for the day |

Out of the 2, Costa. I boycott Starbucks due to their tax practices and recent link-up with Nestle (who I also boycott).
I MUCH prefer an independent but appreciate it's not always possible to find one when you have limited time and a restricted search area. |

I drink tea, neither chain can provide one in a China cup poured from a teapot with a nitted cosy like my favourite cafe, so neither.
Oh and their cheesecakes are to die for! And as I am the self proclaimed Queen of cheesecake that is high praise! |

I don't get Costas
If I want a coffee I should be able to get it the strength I want not have to pay for extra shots!!! I think people choose their coffee shops like they do their branded clothing,
Rather have a Greg's with a cob for half the price anyway  |

I like coffee without it being dicked about with.
Not a great deal of difference between the two. Tend to favour Costa, but that's only because there are more Costas near me. |

I really don't enjoy the over roasted coffee served by the big coffee chains. I actually hated coffee and couldn't drink the stuff until I discovered coffee in Italy a few years back and was surprised i like it. That's when i discovered the problem with Starbucks Costa coffee was the over roasted beans.
Now I much prefer freshly extracted at home using my own espresso machine. And lattes with a dollop of double cream stirred through are my addiction  |

"Neither, much prefer little privately owned independant coffee shops."
Definitely! Normally get a better, stronger cup of coffee. Support local business! |

"Never been in either,or a McDonalds,Which one does Grindr recommend !!
I would say McDonalds coffee is better than Costa and half the price."
The only coffee I have ever spat back out into a cup. Vile stuff.
It was over ten years ago though. |

Prefer Nero, only because we get a free coffee on a Wednesday with our phone app. If I buy a coffee I like to get it from small independent places.
