Reading Roars!

It seems as if Reading’s coffee-crazy consumers cannot get enough of the bean, as Starbucks is to open a second outlet at The Oracle.

Starbuck’s second, to be located on the first floor of the shopping centre (concrete has been laid down for this purpose; previously there was no floor), will join BBs Coffee & Muffins, Cafe Giardino, Caffè Italia, Caffè Nero, Coffee Republic, Costa Coffee, Prêt a Manger and The Oracle’s bars in offering the nation’s favourite stimulant.

What we really need, in my opinion, is for these services to provide late-night coffee. Then we really will have a continental culture.
