nice contrast in signs and time of day......
I wonder if Caffe Nero is going through tough times like Starbucks - I hear they are closing quite a few of their stores....

@Chris: : (from Ronnie) Thanks, Chris. No escape from the tough times for anyone but much of Starbucks' problems were over-expansion . . they competed with themselves !
Laurie from New Jersey, United States
Excellent presentation. I think I would be most likely to visit the one on the right. I'm definitely not a fan of Starbucks, but I've also never heard of Caffe Nero.

If Nero's coffee costs less than a half monthly salary, I'll take one. :-)

I thought at first they were competing signs on the same pole! Then I realized it was you two at your tricks again ;0) Great shots you two!

(from Ronnie) Thanks, Veronelle, I shall be singing that all day, now . . and "Fly Me to The Moon" . . hee hee

If I had given that answer to my wife, I would have had a sore ear for days! Beautifully processed image as usual.

Starbucks over priced, pretentious, and they just don't know how to make a proper cappuccino. For those that are familiar with The Sopranos there was an episode where Paulie declares that they are "raping our culture."

Great contrasts! Italian coffee...mmmmm.
Another great image you two..the contrasts are so great!

Time for a taste test! Of course I always seem to go with the Italian flavor. How interesting a poster this would make on one of the cafe walls.
Great composition and like Tracey commented, as if they are on the same pole.
You two never cease to entertain our visual thoughts.

I'd like to give Cafe Nero a try. I prefer Tully's over Starbucks any day.

Head to head, the rivals meet. Me, I'm a Starbucks kinda guy. Gotta love those Caramel Machi-wotnots...

Fabulous shot and Lily just between you and me I don't think that he is listening
18 Mar 2009 7:34pm
@jamesy: ( from Lilly) Oh, I know. I am very aware of when he is listening. It's usually when he's talking. :)
Veronique from Sarrouilles, France
I still don't understand your " " but I like what "I" can unterstand :-)

Caffè nero, black coffee. At least it sounds good.

Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
There seems to be fans here on both sides, but as far as I am concerned they both serve much of a muchness. I'll stick to a proper mug of tea any day.

Alun Lambert from cheshire, United Kingdom
great shot, i would go for the italian coffee every time

No fiddling going on in the cafe on the right, is there?

JJ from Jersey City, United States
Wonderful pair of shots, being someone who cannot stand hot drinks would skip both of them
And your so right some of the names that used to be put on high in the financial world are viewed with contempt these days

If you want to taste the true flavor of coffee, you are certainly right to drink a good cup of Caffè nero !
Nice composition !

I want to go to Cafe Nero--looks so deeply blue and rich

djedfre from schaumburg, United States
caffe nero looks a lot more menacing and intriguing - i think that'd have to be my choice!

Anita from West Nottingham, United States
How nice to have a choice of coffee shops side by side!

Earnest from Oklahoma, United States
The conversation sounds familiar... :-) My wife loves Starbucks and I'll occasionally sneak in to steal a sniff of the coffee laden air but would rather pay 60 cents for coffee from a machine and watch as it is supposed to dispense a cup and pours coffee down the drain than give someone five dollars for a cup of fancy-named coffee... Strangely I've never been able to tell the difference between pie a la mode and pie with ice cream...

There are a few Starbucks coffee here but I don't know Nero. Nice opposition day- night showing the time difference between you two.

A million miles away! Well done!

We've got 3 neros and 2 starbucks within a 5 minute walk; there's something not quite right about that!

SPunkt from Stuttgart, Germany
Me too!
Well done, again! Just as we are used to. Yes.
