As a matter of fact they have - they're at 92 Main Road, Walmer now.

Funny enough though I haven't been there yet - I've only been hearing about it on the radio. They've had a barista in the media centre at all of the MSL matches at St George's Park.

Quite a few other changes at SGP fwiw including a new (small) scoreboard on the duckpond stands and power and ethernet for the photographers.

Cool, I'll see if there's a match on in December to see some the upgrades.

Either you're trolling, or you fit their demographic 100%. Their marketing must but on point, or you watch too much American TV.

I don't care that its American and stereotyped and I have to prove how special i am by avoiding a stereo-type. I like their coffee and the atmosphere of their stores and their whole marketing strategy. I have absolutely nothing to prove to anyone, so as long as i'm happy there its all good.

It was the same with McDonalds when they opened in the late 90s here and people trying to sound fancy and sophisticated by saying they won't support an American fast-food chain when it opened and it cannot compare to Wimpy or Spur or some home-made burger joint. That's fine, don't go there. But their marketing works and for many people they like it. How long has McDonalds been here now? How much money is it making? - with Burger King hot on its heels...

Do I eat at McDonalds every day? no. Do I drink at Star Bucks every day? no. But I'm not going to avoid it because a self-appointed coffee aficionado tells me to.

Just found it amusing. Didn't mean to step on your toes.

Seattle wins for me. Don't have it that often unfortunately.

oh no you didn't lol i'm cool :)

Seattle is good. It was my go-to before SB opened and it sometimes still is since we don't have a SB on every corner (and probably wont for a few years to come).
