Plain Talker   11 #15 Posted March 11, 2011 Depends which coffee shop it is; if it's Bragazzis on Abbeydale Rd, Oyes at Woodseats or Remo at Broonhill then yes, I'd go. Megabucks or Costly coffee ... forget it!  I love the proper, authentic Italian coffee shop on Church street, "Gusto Italiano". I and my bezzie meet there for coffee as it's so lovely.  Their coffee is fabulous, and the atmosphere and service are second to none, they serve delicious home made soups and other meals, Lasagnae, Pizzae, sandwiches...  I would go there anytime, over Cafe Zero, costapacket, or Starcrud$ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

If we've had visitors over they love it too, maybe they add a secret ingredient to get us all hooked only thing I know I can't start my day without one.

cressida   1,501 #21 Posted March 11, 2011 I can never make coffee at home as good as the ones in cafes, M&S is good enough for me or Costa (Starbucks is too creamy ergo fattening)  I read that one coffee a day is good for you, anyone else read that?
