For that, I love American coffee shops. Everything there is 'Grande' :D<br /><br />I'd love to visit the French Loaf you mentioned. Maybe we can when I'm there. Make a list of places like that we can go to! LOL<br /><br />My favorite coffee shop till date (from amongst the ones I've visited till now) is outside Princeton in New Jersey. It's a few miles outside the city, in the middle of almost nowhere, surrounded by greenery on both sides. It's in the house the owners live in. They've converted one room - living room I presume - into the coffee shop. The door bells chime when you enter, wooden furnishing, comfortable couches...I visited during Christmas & they had Christmas decorations all over & Christmas carols playing. And they served lovely coffee! <br /><br />The other coffee shop I love is on the Princeton University campus. It's big, sunny & very happy :)Scarletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08909702073286784203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234679178553337123.post-80928600968518689532010-05-29T19:37:32.707+05:302010-05-29T19:37:32.707+05:30I can be quite a bully when hungryI can be quite a bully when hungryKalyan Karmakarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14552556294198718249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234679178553337123.post-22599835992318596442010-05-29T19:37:12.898+05:302010-05-29T19:37:12.898+05:30I can be quite a bully when hungryI can be quite a bully when hungryKalyan Karmakarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14552556294198718249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234679178553337123.post-80006336466096956022010-05-29T19:12:47.107+05:302010-05-29T19:12:47.107+05:30Hi Scarlett!!!! Finally online! Finally!!!!!!!!!!!...Hi Scarlett!!!! Finally online! Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />Well, first things first... i am a tea drinker :) <br /><br />I am quite neutral about coffee shops... i couldnt care less actually.. my only gripe is that they serve too much coffee!!! And i have never been able to finish it. I dont visit coffee shops too much.<br /><br />I used to visit coffee shops in my hey days (!!!!) i think... :)<br /><br />I prefer Barista to ccd.. French loaf here is not half bad.. in fact, we discovered a very nice french loaf outlet.. its a house with a huge garden.. <br /><br />In london we had gone to one random pattisserie (hope i spelt it right)... the coffee there was lukewarm too... but the cinnamon bun.. the doughnut.. were awesome!Moonshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01112996795287324549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234679178553337123.post-15488200885082182002010-05-28T18:55:33.702+05:302010-05-28T18:55:33.702+05:30I'm waiting for Moonshine's comment on thi...I'm waiting for Moonshine's comment on this post.

@Supernova...@The Knife - How rude! Glaring is bad.<br /><br />@Supernova - You know what's funny? Rather, NOT funny. When you tell them to make sure your cappucino/mocha/americano is really really hot...in English AND in Hindi...they still bring it lukewarm. I've often contemplated emptying the cup on the waiter's head but have restrained myself thinking it would make me look like a spoilt brat.

It is a joke to expect them to answer any query about the food...we are expected to be gratified that they actually got the order right! <br />Yesterday I had gone to Barista. I made the mistake of ordering their pasta...it tasted burnt and frankly horrible. The waiter tried to explain to me that since it was in a white base it had to be burnt a little!!! I had to assure him that I had eaten pasta in white sauce before and could safely distinguish good food from bad.Supernovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09879276419443123019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234679178553337123.post-21975754773433918592010-05-27T11:30:09.576+05:302010-05-27T11:30:09.576+05:30I must admit that I don't spend more than half...I must admit that I don't spend more than half an hour at most places except CBTL Bandra.<br /><br />But I do glare at people who occupy my favourite seats.Kalyan Karmakarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14552556294198718249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234679178553337123.post-30378142349141907312010-05-27T10:58:53.597+05:302010-05-27T10:58:53.597+05:30@The Knife - Probably because you don't spend ...@The Knife - Probably because you don't spend more than half an hour at a coffee shop? Even when I go there to meet friends (when you're there in a group, you'd like to have more than 20-30 mins to talk), they keep asking us if they can bring our bill or if we'd like to order more. CCD more than Barista. Grrrrr. I've practically stopped going to CCD now, and there aren't too many other options here.Scarletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08909702073286784203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234679178553337123.post-84343810747694497532010-05-26T21:25:36.217+05:302010-05-26T21:25:36.217+05:30I have not been too much of Europe after I shed di...I have not been too much of Europe after I shed diapers. But the only lukewarm coffee that we got was at the Starbucks at Luzerne where it was quite chilly. Everywhere else it was piping hot. As it was in Turkey if that counts.<br /><br />Consistency, tepid coffee, weak... favourite bugbears. I must confess that I have not been hustled out of any of my usual coffee shops in Mumbai thoughKalyan Karmakarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14552556294198718249noreply@blogger.com
