Flat White
One thing I fell in love with in NZ was the flat white coffee...excellent! The one thing you cannot get in the UK......yes youv'e guessed! Saw a sign in Leamington Spa.....flat white coffee £2,10......just a poor Italian failure!

Re: Flat White
Well why can't the UK sources make it? or is the recipe secret

The Latte over here resembles goats milk gone off!

Having worked in hospitality for many a year the standard of coffee making in NZ is vastly superior to UK, a good barista is priceless. I had to go to coffee school when I came here and I was so very impressed

Re: Flat White
I have heard of that place in London fron a NZ lad working in Scotland. He said it was not quite right but as near as you can get in UK!
Bit far to go though!

M&S Cafe Revive would definitely be one of the better ones around especially if accompanied by a piece of Victoria Sandwich Cake...yum lucky you.
BTW someone told me a flat white was a latte with less froth..well I like the froth.

Juice Moose at Drakes Circus, Plymouth make a fantastic Flat White - the only place I know that makes it here. Costa offered an Americano with cold milk as a substitute...yeuk!

Re: Flat White
There's a bb's in St.Helens & I got very excited when I saw they did flat whites. It was the most awful thing I've ever tasted & didn't look at all like a flat white. It was a huge disappointment
