Every week
I rarely buy drinks because our secretary gives us for free. But I often buy for at home.
I like buying drinks from the cafe daily but like coffee and biscuits. Because it is lightweight and I use it instead of meal. I want to lose weight so I decided to skip a time meal and use coffee and biscuits.
I usually have coffee at home but sometimes, if I am with friends or my boyfriend, I go to the cafès in the centre of my city because they are elegant and cosy.
I usually buy drinks and snacks from cafe twice a week. When I have an event like meeting, when someone visit to my home or when I don't have food ready to eat in the morning and my kids want to eat the snacks from cafe I always go to cafe to buy drinks and snacks.
I like coffe shops, but I don´t go there often.
Sometimes I ordered coffee and pieces of cake in cafes. If I am hurry I take it away but I prefer stay in cause It is the opportunity to relax and put my mind in good way "time to organized my thoughts ". I always meet friends up in cafés as well, it is a nice place to have a chat, socialize and of course to try different coffee drinks...
[How often do you buy drinks or snacks from cafés?]
Seldom
I rarely buy drinks or food in a cafè, even though I like these places a lot. Actually, I work in a café, so I can always have a large decaf cappuccino with some powdered cacao on the top or a delicious hot chocolate for free! Obviously, my role is here to be the server, not the customer, and I find it very nice to do, especially if I have to serve people who speak English.
I often buy mango juice and strawberry milk but I don’t like snacks.
