Watching the footie as a guest In a corporate suite — tough life, but someone has to do it
Le Bon Choix cafe — go for the pastries, not the coffee
After initially being given a short black coffee, instead of a long black coffee, things did not get any better.

Cafe BB’s coffee — quite drinkable, but somewhat unremarkable
A pretty decent, if somewhat unremarkable long black coffee really. Quite drinkable, but given that apparently they had won some coffee award, I was expecting more, I guess.
