‘Coffee Time’ is a coffee shop which is located near my university campus and they make the best coffee in the town. It is on the 4th floor of the Grand R Plaza building which is just 3 blocks away from my university. Thank you, sir/madam, for this lovely cue card topic

Students, teachers and office executives who love coffee, milkshake, tea, fast food and like to play billiards mostly visit this coffee shop. Though this shop has a menu with over 20 items, coffee is their hot selling product. I sometimes drink tea or eat a sandwich, but most of the time go there to have a refreshing cup of hot coffee. They sell both hot and cold coffee and as far as I recall, they have more than 10 variations of their coffee

I would easily attest them as the best coffee maker in the town. I love their coffee and mainly visit this shop for that. The opportunity to play billiards for free seems like a discount to me! Apart from that, they have a great environment and polite and professional staff members to serve the customers. I sometimes sit there to chat with my friends or pass an hour and there is no rush to empty the seat for a new customer. I love their music choice, interior design, and friendly attitude. They even offer a complementary menu to regular customers. The only thing I dislike about them is the time they take to serve an item. It’s like I have to wait around 20-25 minutes every time I order something. The time delay to actually serve an item must irritate office executives who are in hurry! I have notified them that it is so annoying for some to wait for so long only for a cup of coffee or tea and their excuse to my complaint was something like – ‘We take time to serve a customer because we value quality and the taste. And to make sure the food taste, we give our best effort.’ The response might seem a little lame to others, but I don’t mind waiting for few extra minutes especially when I have time to kill or have some friends with me to talk to
