that a vanilla latte isn't suppose to have coffee in it?
met my sis at muffin break today and ordered a vanilla latte, my usual drink of choice if i can't have wine  after waiting in excess of 10mins for it (not a lie!) i sip my vanilla latte and wonder where the coffee is....perhaps in the hectic coffee making he's forgotten to put it in and given me sweet hot milk instead. so my sis takes it back for me to ask about it..only to be told 'vanilla latte doesn't have coffee in it' WTF????????
why is it a latte then? why not call it vanilla milk??
she then gets charged another 50c for a shot of coffee!

Muffin break at Linwwod was veeeerrrrryyyy slow last week.
Whci reminds me, Vanessa, it was GREAT to meet you last week, and your kids are gorgy!! I love how nice Jack was with my Charly, and your wee princess is a sweetheart, so quiet!! Would have ben good to chat more, but I was sooo tired after a rotten nights sleep with the kids and up late chewing the fat with my bro, I felt very zombiefied and not my usual cheery self!

it was great to meet you too annie....charly is a gorgeous wee girl! jack loved her! he's not always that nice, well to my charli anyway, but i'm guessing that's the same in every house
you'll have to let us know when you're back down this way again and we'll go somewhere abit better. i still can't figure out why they took the playground away

I hate muffin break for this very reason I had a big rant at the local one once. Every other coffee place puts coffee in a LATTE even if you want vanilla syrup as well !!!!! Stupid place they have lost my custom and any friend that happens to be with me.
With their logic a Mocha would be just a hot chocolate DUH.

Well I reckon that you complain to head office with a few googled links. That is really dumb. The definition is latte, not vanilla. Dumbos.

So do all Muffin Breaks do vanilla lattes with no coffee? How bizarre! I would have thought the name was a giveaway - latte!

I brought one from Porirua and it tasted like a warm vanilla milkshake. Spew.

I think I would complain. Surely you can't call it a vanilla latte if it has no coffee!!!!!
