Best chain coffee shop in London: Nero... Every time

[The Minkey]

As this thread was started to discuss the best chain-coffee, I go for Nero's out of the large chains. However, for the fact that it's cheaper and better than the caff at work's filter coffee, and the other alternative is Starf**ks, Pret's filtered is well priced at 99p.

It's as if South Park's legendary Gnomes episode was never broadcast. I suggest we watch it again for sage advice on coffee and the nature of profit.

So wine out of a tumbler is a nono but coffee from paper cup is ok? ;-)

But yeah coffee at Nero compared to other chains is far superior. Eat does ok tho. Pret coffee is undrinkable but their pastries are better than the other coffee chains.

As chains go I would plump for Nero maybe it's because their coffee has a double shot as standard.

Im with Nero every time. I do agree with Alan Medic, however nice little independent coffee houses dont usually sell a bucket of coffee that has you gibbering & shaking nicely by the time you get to the bottom. A couple of slurps out of a coffee cup with a fat rim and a so wide you could get your head in that is cold before youve got to your table isnt for me.

Pret - best taste..best price..best food. End of.

[StraferJack]

Pret = best pastries

but Pret coffee the best? Not in this world.
