Tried flat white today at Greggs. Have not had such a piss for a long time. I donā€™t know how you can drink this shit

The cinnamon latte isnā€™t bad I think.

Do they froth the milk themselves or is it just a machine doing all the work?

The machine: they put a cup under it, plop a pipe in a milk bottle, press a button, and the machine does all the work.

I only drink filter/Americano but it was always my understanding that really flat whites are more barista drinks or at the very least on a large commercial level (a la Pret/Starbucks) the barista needs to do the milk separately.

A flat white totally from a machine seemsā€¦ destined to fail.

It is done in 2 orders but it isnā€™t really an issue. Just tell them that you have multiple qr codes.

but then if it is busy you risk becoming an annoying double dipper holding up the line. Like the people who go to the cash machine, finish their transaction, and then pull out a second card and start again

People donā€™t care really as far as i can tell as doing 2 transactions doesnā€™t take much time.

Iā€™m surprised thereā€™s such a low number of Greggs in London. Thereā€™s at least two within walking distance of the office (not that Iā€™ve been to any of them :wink:)

Thereā€™s never been a Greggs in Yarm :frowning:

There was a Three Cooks growing up though. They did the greasiest, most unhealthy breakfasts ever. They were great!

They definitely seem to be rapidly expanding in London, mainly in central and cheaper parts of London. Havenā€™t seen many in the west, although who knows, maybe the residents of Mayfair and Belgravia are crying out for a Greggs!

Thereā€™s one in Whitechapel too near my preferred hotel.

Unlikely thereā€™s a budget for Belgravia hotels tho :joy:

Also, the worst thing about Greggs is that they donā€™t do a stotty nationwide!

Leon tried this and then stopped it, wonder why they think trying again will work.

It might work out better for me this way anyway. I never got more than one a day anyway.

I suspect Pret have lost quite a lot of customers especially since introducing dual tier pricing

Their prices have rocketed and people are voting with their feet. The one I go to used to be heaving with customers and now itā€™s sparse.
