Hackett’s Coffee Bar

£4.50’s worth of breakfast at Hackett’s was included with my room at Merifield Annex (owned by Wadham College). The croissants were fine (and served with little pots of Tiptree jam, yay), although this morning the barista was serving them with his bare hands rather than with tongs. The coffee was reliably awful: a cappuccino was a vast mug of grey milk, while a latte was more beige but still didn’t really taste of coffee. I got my best results this morning, ordering a very strong white coffee which resembled an adequate latte.
In fairness, the staff were very nice when I complained on the first day (about the coffee and the 20 minutes it took to arrive), and they gave me apologetic vouchers. But one acceptable cup of coffee out of five is not a good record, so I shan’t be going back, even for free drinks.
