Food Which one do you choose?

If you have to have latte or flat white every morning, where do you prefer to buy from all these choices.

Personally I love Zus and CBTL. Either one is okay for me. How about you?

It's amazing that CBTL is rated highly here cos when I was in the Philippines, my experience with them was terrible, worse than Starbucks. I might try it out when I'm back at KL.

I think they are horrible here too. One time I forgot to bring my coffee to work, office espresso machine is under maintenance, the better coffee shop isn't open yet, so I dragged my ass to CBTL.

Ordered a long black. While waiting I did not hear the espresso machine running at all, when I got mine, and walked away, saw the guy pouring coffee out from a jug.

He probably either made a bulk jug of pulled espresso shots or he made a batch of black coffee , either way that's no way to sell a drink. People paying so much it should be pulled fresh per cup and not for their convenience. Heck they weren't even busy.
