It's rather fashionable to bash Harris + Hoole on account of their being 49% owned by Tesco. Made…read moreless clear is that the people behind the chain are those responsible for Taylor St Baristas, and as a result, the coffee at Harris + Hoole is far superior to what you might otherwise expect. Apparently they won best UK coffee chain at the 2014 European Coffee Awards and I can believe that. I certainly can't think of any other major chain that can compete with what you can get at Harris & Hoole. The location of this Harris + Hoole in the massive Tesco Extra in Slough magnifies the incongruousness. There are the shelves containing the coffee making equipment (Aeropress, V60, Clever Dripper, Hario grinder, even Harris + Hoole branded KeepCups) that one sees at all 'serious' cafes. The refillable filter coffee marketed as 'drip' filter coffee. And the superb-value, excellent espresso - a 'small', 8 oz flat white costs £2.30, and sizes go all the way up to 12 oz. There are some corners cut. There's only one blend of coffee (Union), as you might expect from a large chain (but not at an independent). The filter coffee, while refillable, isn't anywhere near the quality of drip/Aeropress coffee in independent stores, perhaps because the coffee used isn't as well-suited. Still, overall, I am most certainly a fan. It's one thing to cash in on the coffee craze by lazily churning out sub-standard lattes for 'artisan' prices as too many opportunist independents and coffee chains do. It's quite another to, as I think Harris + Hoole do, use their in-depth knowledge of the trade to make good coffee significantly more accessible to all. I declare Harris + Hoole to be a force for good.

For several years now it hasn't been necessary to fly back to the USA to buy Krispy Kreme donuts; I…read moreonly have to cross the English Channel to the UK to do this. This particular KK is located in Slough in the big building that houses the big Tescos. There isn't' too much that you can say about KK or really any chain store/restaurants because the idea is to keep them the same. Well this one was a nice size. It was very clean. There were lots of donuts there, unlike some places where the choices go down as they're sold. They seem to keep well stocked. The coffee was good too and the young lady who worked there was very sweet and very chatty. Buying donuts from grumpy people should be illegal, I think. Cannot wait until my next trip to KK-land (England)!

I wanted one of their cold drinks but they'd ran out of ice! Coffee's normal - don't expect anything special. By the way, this is a stand-alone outlet which happens to be in the Tesco Extra building - which itself is majorly mahoosive. You can see the baking machine contraptions from where you sit to devour your yeastie creations.

A really nice coffee shop indeed. It has a chilled, relaxed atmosphere with smiles all around…read more The staff are very polite and the coffee (mine being a mocha frappuccino) was delicious. It has leather couches inside and an outside seating area for the sun or smokers. Definately a place to go if you want to relax or meet friends.

Not only do they serve the usual coffee and muffins, they also serve lunch type food such as paninis and a great hos of hot drinks. The baristas are amiable but not very patient as I found out when my friend admitted he is a rookie when it comes to coffee and asked what the difference is between the coffee. I dont blame him; the selection is almost too big. There is seating available both indoors and outside. Inside is very cosy and the theme is art neuveu, outside is cold!

The main man - owner? is a bit pushy and does keep asking what you want, I would not want to work here as I think you have to be on your toes all the time even though the staff seem very quick. The food is ok and not badly priced. It always seems busy and has a good menu and nice coffee.
