premium coffee to rival starbucks

Nice to see someone challenging Starbucks at their own game. Their service speed is not quite where Starbucks is at this point but getting there. The coffee is slightly better than Starbucks as well (tend not to taste as burnt as Starbucks does) and I like the cheerier, more bright interior design of the Costa shops. The pastries and such are not quite as good as those on offer at Starbucks.
