I don't like coffee, I have hot chocolate, but I prefer Costa. Starbucks is way too sweet!

Agreed.

[gernumblies]

Costa.

The gingerbread latte is my one weakness.

Not a fan of coffee, but there was this great place in Liverpool called Brew which served all sorts or tea. Shame it closed down recently

[Sabertooth]

I actually really like Starbucks filter coffee.

I'm going to break the trend and say that I prefer buying jars of coffee and having them at home.

I used to go to Coffee Republic before they closed all their shops .Starbucks is Ok but a bit pretentious, only really go there in a group.If I want coffee when I'm out I generally go to McDonalds.

I drag people off to nice little independent cafes in the Northern Quarter.... it's cheaper and far more likely to be fair trade/organic!

[barnetlad]

I drink tea or beer instead, so nowhere.

Mc Donalds coffee is at least reasonably strong Starbucks coffee is far too milky and reasonably priced, its about a third of the price. Also Cafe Nero does good strong coffee and isnt as bad as Starbucks for price at like £1.75 for a latte or cappuccino. Though my parents bought a Nespresso machine so now I just make good strong coffee is a massive thermos from Poundland and bring it with me for free.

I go to Costa. LOVE COSTA!

To me Starbucks & Café Nero serve foul coffee.

Costa, because the coffee is always up to standard and is delicious and the staff are always so lovely, no matter what Costa I go to. Starbucks is overrated rubbish. Cafe Nero is also really good, but sometimes a bit hit and miss.

yeah, the one by my college I used to go to really regularly - and some of the 'baristas' or whatever were AMAZING, but there was one woman who was renowned for being terrible. Because I used to go there so much, I knew it was because of her and not the place in general.

Second Cup, Lime Tree and Costa.

[Landie_Man]

ODEON-Costa as I get it 40% off! also local coffee shops!

[secret santa]

Don't mind me; I take mine Starbucks all the time!

[ellakrystina]

Wetherspoon coffees are quite nice! And Costa, of course.

[mmckn]

subway coffee is surprisingly good!

[Chaofan88]

I don't go to Starbucks in the first place. Their coffee is always so bland and yet bitter simultaneously. I'll either go to Costa or Picnic or coffee. That being said, my school's coffee machine churns better coffee than anywhere else I've tried :O

[x-Sophie-x]

Most definitely, Costa

[daisychaindream]

I used to only go to Starbucks; now I prefer local independent cafes; two personal favourites are Number 5 The Beach and Cafe Amore.

I mainly drink black coffee and found Starbucks always tasted burnt.

[student555]

COSTA!

Haha, I completely agree with this, I much prefer their ice-blended coffee to Starbucks.

I can't believe no one else has mentioned TLCB! They are definitely better than Costa.
