Their coffee is decent enough but not exceptional. If I'm grabbing a coffee for the road, I'll stick with McD's or some of the filing stations that are reliably solid and that bit cheaper. And if I'm indulging, I'll still be popping into a nice local independent café.

They need to open earlier if they want to get the breakfast or the on their way to work crowd!
