    Buy local, buy independent, buy family owned, don’t buy from franchises but if you do have to, yes do buy from an european one. But don’t act surprised if they ever get big enough they will be guilty of the same practices Costa or Pret or Starbucks are doing.

      @jnod4 imo more competition is always good. I’m not into coffee, but I did purchase a medium-sized cup of hot chocolate from them, and it was just a bit smaller than those soda ones served in fast-food chains like McDonald’s (if not, the same size, lol). And the chocolate was quite good as well.
