When it comes to coffee, I would choose CCD (Cafe Coffee Day) over Barista (even though I have had limited drinks at both places).
There use to be a time I use to dislike CCD coffee till we started hanging out at JATC and I found the Iced Eskimo (which became a staple at CCD).
Today I had a cappuccino at CCD and couldn't help but compare it to the cappuccino I had at Barista just 2 days ago. Day and night difference. I found the CCD cappuccino way better. It was milder, frothier and lighter.
Next time if I have to choose between meeting at a CCD and a Barista (all things, except coffee, being the same), I'll choose a CCD.
