Usually an Americano with a dash of milk. I find milky coffees to filling.

Cake is always there as a option, muffin,flapjack or caramel slice.

I’ve got an espresso machine at home, so don’t buy habitually.

But I am one of those people who buys whatever the new product or seasonal promotion is.

I like to vary it but usually either a flat white or a pourover. I also recently tried something called a split shot recently which is an espresso and a cortado which was great!

For cake, it will probably be a lemon drizzle or something really chocolatey. The coffee shop I go to also does these warm, gooey cookies 🤤

I despise the inherited American coffee shop business model. All that banging and creams and syrups, being upsold some shite you don’t want ! I stick with independents and normally it’s a n espresso with a drop of warm milk. I love being in Spain where it takes 30 seconds to get a coffee versus 5 minutes in the UK.

Also cake? Do you think this is 2010? Have you seen the price of a coffee shop cake in 2025 against a back drop of a rising living cost and stagnating wages over the last decade.

Maybe just a slice of imagination cake for me.

Nothing prepared me for it Joe. I have to be honest here, I thought I added the ice cream to the coffee 😂 but my lovely friend guided me otherwise. It was so nicely served too. Much like you, I was a little indecisive and wanted a hot drink but thought in for a penny.

I was not disappointed at all and think I'd have that and a hot one next time. Lol

Don’t tend to visit them often as I don’t drink coffee and I really don’t like the tea in Starbucks. But if I do it’s always tea, sometimes a cake will factor; maybe a lemon drizzle if it looks moist, brownie or millionaires shortbread

I had that the other day (in Sheffield) whilst I was dining alone at a Pizza Express™. Bourbon vanilla ice cream, strong espresso, served with a shot of hazelnut liqueur. It was heavenly on my palate.

Brum - ish

I get a latte - I like the texture of the foam. Occasionally I’ll get cake and that depends on where I am. Costa would be their millionaire shortbread or rocky road. There’s a lovely place by me that does amazing brownies and it depends on what’s in as to what I’ll go for. Chocolate orange was a high point!
