My Fiancé Mark and myself went shopping Saturday in Bury St Edmunds, a market town close to where we live. By midday feeling slightly jaded we decided to have a pit stop and opted for Thornton's Coffee Shop on the corner of the market square. Thornton's have only been doing coffee shops since 1996 and we have never tried on before so thought we would give it a go. Thorntons coffee shop in bse is small! The have taken half the shop for a regular Thorntons chocolate shop and squeezed about half a dozen tables in the other half. The tables were all tables for 2 although some had been pushed together. It was far too crowded and you were knocked and bumped every ...  Read the complete review

So - the diet has started and you are in that early determined phase but a friend has suggested that you meet for coffee in a new cafe that has just opened. Not a problem you think - until you find out that its a Thornton's cafe.

However, at Thorton's it took 15 minutes before I was served. The queue was fairly long, but it moved ...  Read the complete review

I am currently staying in Edinburgh with Dave. He is still working up here and has a long term let on a holiday house so Mew is in the cattery and I am keeping Dave company for a week or two. On Saturday we went to the Fort Kinnaird shopping centre just off the A1 in Edinburgh but if you want to talk about it to anyone do pronounce it slowly and carefully because it can sound very naughty if you say it quickly! Whilst we were there Dave suggested that we go into Thornton's (the chocolate shop) for a cup of tea in their cafe. He had been in there before and knew that it was nice so off we went. The Thornton's shop itself is quite small and ...  Read the complete review
