Can I get a decent cup of coffee in London?

by **tGreenWay** Fri May 29, 2015 6:32 pm

And if so, where? I have to be there for a couple of days and amn't familiar with the city.
Thanks a pantsful.

No. Well, maybe but probably not. Actually, I suppose.....forget it. No.

Listen, you can't even get good food there. Sheep guts boiled with carrots is not good food. Nobody told them that cooking moved past the 16th century. So, do you think their coffee will be any better?

I've had great food and beer in England. Cheers!

You also like John Calipari so your preferences are already under suspicion.

That's it, I'm canceling this trip! No coffee, no GreenWay!

I think you're doing London wrong. They prefer that you drink tea.

I'm very picky about my hot caffeinated beverages.

You cannot. You can have great tea, and sucky coffee. Good beer, though. Your call.

I am sure that true to their history, someone will appease him and give him a good cup of coffee...and let him take some land elsewhere in Europe.

Coffee sucks, do coke instead.

There are fucking Starbucks and Costas and Neros everywhere. There are usually French people working there. Whatever you do, don't order it to go and sit down inside, some twat will blow their top.

I've also found a couple of places on Trip Advisor. I should be good.
I do have every intention of enjoying the local hot and room temp beverages. It's just that I need my own fuel to get and keep going throughout the day, especially since this isn't entirely a pleasure trip and some meetings may drag on.

I never enjoyed coke that much. I was much more of a fungi adventurist.

If the U.S. fired shots at Britain, who would Britain call to save them?

Neros is the Biggby of London - you can't swing a dead dog without hitting one.. decent enough coffee. Just stay out of Marylebone.

Got it: Don't swing a dead dog, but give him his Marylebone, and Nero is in London drinking Biggby.

That's a lot to remember.

Nope. It's a quick two-day thing related to work with almost no sightseeing. I'm one of those who drinks coffee all day, and I'm aware that I'm going someplace known for its tea obsession. Do you see how that might be a conflict?
If I wanted to humblebrag about a vacation, Idve asked for suggestions on places to visit because I know nearly nothing about the UK.
Nice try though. Enjoy being poor.

Let’s be honest here; Roc has always been a bit of a crank.

Been to France, got very good coffee. My complaint about France has nothing to do with the quality of the brew. It’s not even about drinking from small cups. But damnit if those tiny cups don’t have handles with holes wide enough to wrap a finger through. Noooooo, you have to pinch the handle, especially if there’s no hole at all. It’s like they want us all to pretend we’re dainty and civilized when we drink their coffee in petite-sized cups.
