In March 2024 I had the most amazing flat white I had in a Costa Coffee chain here (I frequently visit them in London).
It was made by a Hungarian 🇭🇺 guy in his mid twenties.

The prices are also crazy, 4,20e for a single espresso and 6,30 for...

They only have paper cups, which is a disgusting alternative of eating lunch from a plastic bag. The coffee is expensive and terrible, bitter, stale. . Still if all you want is a bit of caffeine, as disgusting as the coffee is, the...
