Coffee Republic, Blackwell's Bookshop, Broad St. | |
July 03 |
Coffee Republic has a limited but adequate range - cappuccino, espresso, latte, mocha and hot chocolate as you'd expect, some organic herbal teas, Innocent smoothies and other soft drinks. Coffee addicts will be glad to know that standard (why is 'smallest' always called 'grande'?) cappuccino has two shots of espresso for £1.79 (take note, Starbucks). Sandwiches (£3ish) and cakes (around £1.50 for a muffin or pastry, less for one of their fantastic brownies or muesli bars) are also available, and good soup in winter. The baristas are generally friendly and efficient in serving drinks at the counter - and not too pressing about clearing away empty mugs later. Coffee Republic doesn't operate a loyalty card: it's a shame, but it's not surprising. They've got everything they need to keep their customers already. Abby Chicken |
