Costa Coffee bars

I'm a fan - will be taking laptop down there to work tomorrow for change of scenery.

tends to be full of students (female mainly) and ladies who 'lunch' imo

all the poor posers love the hot brown caffeine water dont they

I goy a medium soya cappuccino with chocolate on top for £2-35, sounds expensive but must have been half a pint and was delicious. Their pastries look top class as well.

Not sure about the Communal toilets though.

how much for a glass of tap water?

Why would you go in a coffee bar and ask for water?

my son loves the hot chocolate with marshmallows and cream as a treat for schoolwork

maybe if you dont like coffee? i cant stand the stuff, wouldnt pay 1p for a billion cups. even with chocolate sprinkles on the top.

I saw some American chick having one of those marshmallow thingys. Might try one next time.

Well if you don't like coffee don't go in Costa's. lol

how much is a large latte ?

canny only went there cos they provide a free racing post :^0

Large Latte £2.55 - just gone up.

dunno, I'm very much a newbie.

thats saying that people go in for coffee. nobody goes in a coffee shop for coffee, they go in to pose and pretend theyre sophisticated. so what do the posers who dont like coffee drink?

what if you dont like coffee? what to drink?

bito, I went in because the forumite desert pilot suggested it, he spends about £90 a month in there.

How does that work with the takeaways?

drink in the atmosphere

Well if you don't like coffe, don't go in Costas ffs, plenty of other places around.

What was the American chick doing in Costa Bradford?

i was clearly just testing your version of events so to speak..

Bradford is a great big melting pot.

day tripping imo

American chick was serving the drinks too.

Costa better than Starbucks, imo.

why is it people who like coffee seem to like scarfs too? id say the scarf to person ratio of coffee drinkers is at least 10 times the normal ratio

guilty on both counts!

didn't spot many scarves today, anyway scarves are sensible this weather. Not that I've worn one since my Bradford City days.

clingy, needy attention seeking tyopes frequent these establishments, avoid them and do not....I REPEAT DO NOT! make eye contact with these types

i lived in a flat over the top of one.....free broadband!.....have to pay now :(

don't be silly!

RD of course.

its true

10% price reduction for scarf wearers

Hate coffee places, full of fake indie**s.

:^0

Scarf + Skinny jeans + plimsolls + Cardigan with tie set + gay side fringe = coffee fan.

damn i think I left my scarf in the French Alps. Well at least I have got my cool jeans, trainers and funny hat for the next time I visit Costa

Global commercialism thinly disguised as enviro-fairtrade-trehugging.

Avoid them, Starbucks and any other global b'stards.

Support your local indpendant selling just as good coffee without lining the pockets of shareholders.

I would just go to a pub lol

A coffee costs almost as much as a pint lol

You can buy a pannini for the price of a small semi in Hull.

(panino)

i can't go in them. those off centered saucers play havoc with my ocd

Have you really got ocd, Reyes?

hasn't everyone?

So you don't have ocd?

It's lovely with ***** plenty of salt and vinegar.

went today - scarf (which I kept on),beanie hat, jeans (not skinny), shoes that look like trainers. Ordered my latte, sat in a corner with my laptop - did n't make eye contact with anyone.

Not sure where that puts me on the attention seeking/gay scale.

I'm assuming there's a corrolation between being an attention seeker and being gay - in fact I'm sure there is.

mildly, i'm glad to say.

putting things straight, the right way up, that kind of thing.

mate once opened and ate some crisps from the 'bottom' of the bag, that was a bit freaky.

Do you?

I used to visit the first Costa Coffee, which was a small place in Victoria, popular with black cab drivers, mid 1980s. Family firm that used to sell all sorts of coffee beans as well the best espresso in area. Think they sold up to sometone who then expanded it.

bring back Lyons tea shops imo

if you like costa ....youll love cafe nero ....much better
