Took a visit to the local comeptitors and here are our thoughts:
|
|
Positives |
Negatives |
|
Coffee Republic – Newhall street |
Red & Black décor The cups Metal dome bins Sandwich & cakes open for self-service Card payment facilities |
Very dark – poor lighting Price signage very small No information on coffee source No information on WiFi Expensive coffee |
|
Caffe Nero – Temple Row |
Double shots as standard Light, clean and airy Regional barista of the year runner up works here – sign They allow areas to be reserved and an at seat service Old leather chairs A feeling that they understand coffee |
Cakes & pastries look pre-packed Cakes are behind counter so you have to ask for them They don’t take card payments |
|
Starbucks – Colmore Row |
Coffee beans on display Accept card payments |
Bean 2 cup machine rather than quality trained staff Machine blocks view of your coffee being made Cakes are behind counter so you have to ask for them |
