Coffee cluster: Concentrated caffeine in Reading
Further to my previous post about the opening of (yet) another Starbucks outlet, we apparently do want more coffee in our town centres (and airports, hospitals, theme parks, workplaces…). According to recent research, the UK coffee shop market is predicted to nearly double in size over the next 10 years. That’s an awful lot of coffee.
The image below shows the part in central Reading where Broad St meets King St. and the assorted coffee shops located there. I left out out Japanese restaurant Wa (where coffee can also be purchased), the LV Lounge and Nino’s, as I was unable to pinpoint them precisely.
