Cappuccino at Caffe Macchiato

Caffe Macchiato

Caffe Macchiato cappuccino

I had a cappuccino a couple of days ago. It was good and I said I would pop back.

Tuesday, it was cold, today it was pleasant sitting outside.

Sitting outside, looking down the street, ignore the cars parked, ignore the tacky shop fronts, the plague of fast food joints, boarded-up shops, charity shops, and with a stretch of the imagination, could be sat outside in Athens, in a pleasant tree-lined street.

Caffe Macchiato has an attractive shop front. Why can the rest of the street not have similar shop fronts, or shop fronts in keeping with the Victorian buildings? There is no reason why we have to have an ugly street, full of tacky shops. Why not a street lined with quality independent shops? Something worth making a trip to Aldershot for?

The problem is brain-dead, pig-ignorant, arrogant councillors who lack vision and have not got a clue.

We recently had the imbecile leader of the council announcing exciting news for Farnborough. And what was that exciting news? Queensmead has new paving slabs, at £1 million an appalling waste of public money. And that Starbucks had made Farnborough its home. Er no, home for Starbucks is its corporate head office in Seattle. In Farnborough, tax-dodging Starbucks has opened a coffee shop.

Instead of welcoming chains, why not celebrate our local coffee shops?

With Caffe Macchiato serving quality coffee and being a pleasant place to sit outside, why do people visit Costa at the bottom of the street and drink what masquerades as coffee?

The attractive lady with a lovely smile running Caffe Macchiato is a very talented artist. Caffe Macchiato as well as serving excellent coffee, serves as an exhibition space for some of her art.

Caffe Macchiato has occasional live music in the evening.
