Bicycle Vs Nero

A simple task, a coffee.
Yes please, could I have a machiato double espresso? A request made in both Cafe Nero Covent Garden and The Bicycle shop in Norwich.

The difference was amazing, for one, I was served my machiato in Zero with such disdain and lack of care, you could see the sadness in the foam upon the surface, lukewarm too. Rubbish!

In Norwich however, I visit the Bicycle Shop, number 17, St Benedict's Street. On arrival, I could tell this independent establishment was going to deliver a machiato with care. It was served hot with biscotti to my tasteful, pale blue Formica table, not too unlike one my Nana used to have from the 60's. Bliss.

If you're gonna serve coffee, serve it properly.
