So says Which? I do agree with it being better than Starbucks, I always thought Starbucks tasted like dish water.

i still prefer the local ones.

I gave up on them (Cafe Nero) a while ago as my local branches seemed to always serve their coffee luke warm.

I go to Costa these days and only go to Starbucks for a cold one as their fraps are head and shoulders above any others I've had.

I prefer Caffe Nero to Starbucks or Costa Coffee. Even so, I tend to go for the large latte as the smaller ones are too strong, or too weak with just a single shot of coffee.

I sometimes prefer Coffee Republic, but my favourite is usually Pret-a-Manger. Central London is now as unthinkable without Pret as it would be without the Underground!

The coffee from Nero is just too strong for my liking, so I always have to ask for just one shot of coffee, but even then I find it can be bitter tasting. I like their hot chocolate though.

My favourite coffee shop would either have to be Costa or Starbucks. Speaking of which, I had a raspberry and white chocolate cooler from Costa today and it was just divine,

I prefer the local independent cafés.

I do as well, but the one I like going to is a bit out of the main town centre and the person i go for a coffee with most often can not walk that far.

The other local one which is outside in the town centre is not that good to be honest and they have disposable cups. it is ok to to use now and again to sit outside and watch the world go by

Out of the three chain ones we got here, Nero, starbuck and costa, I prefer Nero, nice strong coffee, starbucks is prutrid to be honest. Costa is ok.

different tastes I suppose, I also don't the idea of starbucks asking my name.

We had this discussion in work the other day, everybody agreed Cafe Nero is the best chain coffee.

I prefer Caffe Nero to Costa and Starbucks but the nicest coffee I've had is from AMT Coffee kiosk in the station. It's far nicer than any others.
