Agreed. But I go to the bookstores primarily to browse and read
the books, and not for the tea or coffee. Although the tea and
coffee there is better than in the standard (not specialty)
restaurants. At least one can order a pot of "green tips" or
"english breakfast" and not be served a bag of: Salada, Liptons,
or some restaurant suppliers tea. Also the coffee is generally
better, and so is the choice of pastries.
Which is all meant as faint praise.
