Starbucks, Riverside, Norwich
The Location: Starbucks, Riverside, Norwich
The Visit: Saturday 26th August, morning
Cake: Lemon Drizzle slice
Tea: Teavana, Starbucks' own brand
The Cake: Tasty and tangy, but overall a little dry
The Tea: Average. Starbucks clearly concentrate on their coffee to the expense of tea!
The Café: Visited whilst waiting for my car to undergo work at a nearby garage, this is a new build cafe in the car park of a retail park. Almost identical to most other Starbucks. Pretty average overall I'd say.
Verdict: 6.5/10.

Asda Cafe, Hall Rd, Norwich
The Location: Asda Cafe, Hall Rd, Norwich
The Visit: Monday 21st August, afternoon
Cake: Cinnamon roll
Tea: Yorkshire
The Cake: Prepackaged gives a cheap impression, but this wasn't at all bad. The big disappointment with it, was the icing that stuck to the packaging on opening.
The Tea: Good tea, stayed hot for a long time.
The Café: Almost an afterthought, the cafe upstairs in Asda has to compete with Costa and Greggs, both next door. Cheap plastic tables and furniture, and disposable tableware, are not the best look, but do the job, especially to bring the prices down (they succeed). Quality of comestibles is good overall, though there's not a huge choice of cakes.
Verdict: 7/10.
