Advantages: Wonderful service and great coffee Disadvantages: Location within a bookshop
Whether I visit the centre of Reading to browse the CD shops or pick up some groceries, my journey is never complete until I have revitalised myself with a coffee in one of the ever-increasing number of coffee shops springing up in the town.
Although I have visited most of the outlets at some point in the past, only three or four have had the benefit of my custom in the recent weeks. I consider myself to be a regular in just one of these few.
I discovered GoodBean's existence by chance when visiting Blackwell's bookshop, inside of which it is situated. Despite not being slap-bang in the centre of the town, it still manages to attract its fair share of customers.
Every credit must go to GoodBean for the excellent customer service provided. The staff treat customers as individuals, and are always polite and friendly. Genuinely ...
Advantages: Relaxing Place to Stop Off Disadvantages: Closes Early
the lovely coffee smell, fresh and ground beans just seem to give of such a welcoming and warm feeling.

Advantages: Freshly ground, available in small quantities Disadvantages: A bit more expensive than other coffees

Kenya Peaberry
These are round “peas” which grow randomly amongst normal coffeebeans and have a more pronounced spicy coffee flavour than normal Kenya beans. They are specially harvested and graded from the normal Kenya beans and marketed separately. Kenya Peaberry is also £2.40 per 125g.
Caribbean Mountain
This is a special Whittard blend that was developed in the 1960s as a breakfast coffee and is mild and mellow.

The light roast makes it a good, gentle tasting breakfast coffee, although it is a bit light for me. It costs £2.00 per 125g.
Blue Mountain Jamaica
Blue Mountain is apparently a smooth coffee, said to have a “milk chocolate” character. I ...
