What's your coffee shop order?

I'm not really a hot drink drinker but will have one if meeting a friend in town.
Mine's a latte with coconut milk.

What's yours?

It varies - Americano, cortado or a strong flat white. Depends how I'm feeling. Don't like too much milk so avoid lattes and cappuccinos.

Only ever go to decent independent coffee shops as dislike the chains for various reasons.

Starbucks "coffee" is acidic and like piss water can barely call it coffee, Costa don't know how to make a flat white properly and Nero is always so slow I'd expire before getting my caffeine hit.

Americano with just a little cold milk.

Latte so it lasts for longer.

Sometimes a seasonal syrupy one but I ask for half the amount of syrup as otherwise they’re too sickly (and I have a major sweet tooth, so not sure who they’re designed for!)

Oat milk chai latte.

Extra hot, skinny, chai latte from Costa. Delicious 😋

Hazelnut latte

Skinny chai latte.

Americano. 🙂

Iced coffee, all year round.
Hot chocolate from whichever Xmas coffee shop menu I like the look of best.

Caramel latte although just lately they all seem to put in way too much syrup so might need to find a new drink!

They usually put three 'shots' in, I ask for just one and it's perfect

I might try one of the specials next time and ask for less shots 😀

Double espresso. Or an iced americano in summer. I don't care for hot drinks and the thing I love about coffee is how intensely it can wake me up.

SushiSheep · 15/11/2024 11:45

I have the Pistachio latte from Caffè Nero today 😀
It's nowhere as sweet as I was fearing so thanks to the poster who recommended it 👌

Coconut flat white. Ideally accompanied by an almond croissant.

LeaveALittleNote · 15/11/2024 12:06

Cappuccino. Or a mocha if I’m feeling frivolous.

purplecorkheart · 15/11/2024 12:07

cappuccino or a decaf cappuccino if it is the afternoon.
