How long is reasonable to wait for coffee in cafe?

Just wondering what others feel is a reasonable amount to time to wait for coffee/other choice once order has been taken at counter in these circumstances -

Couple in front of me ordered two teas, two muffins and two pre-packed sandwiches, I had latte and cake.

Today, looks like three lattes went to same table before I got my latte and cake.

Both cases two behind counter, no clearing of tables, getting stock out.

I'm probably being impatient but would be interested to hear what others expect.

Might be 10 minutes in lots of places

My daughter informs me it takes roughly 1-2 minutes to make each drink.

Depends on how busy it is. If there's no-one there then not long at all; if it's busy then 5 or 10 minutes.

Ideally up to 5 mins. More than 10, and I’d be annoyed.
