Scoff, at The Savoy, is a good option to look into if you like to slip away from the hustle and bustle. It’s a cosy corner, just beyond the lobby, and offers scones – and cakes – for any walk-in customer. The tastes and looks on offer are delightful.
I chose the Salted Caramel Popcorn cake with a latte, as usual. There’s a few seats, but boxes are on offer for takeout orders. A mother and daughter ahead of me took theirs away. It’s a case of if the shoe fits, but it’s a fine choice.
It’s great to see how we have the infrastructure to supply all the necessary wares for our cultural experience.
This isn’t easy, or cheap, however.
It takes dedication and talent to source and supply all the sorts of wares necessary for our enjoyment of a simple cup of coffee, for instance.
It takes a global operation involving thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people.
These are coffee growers, shipping agents, logistics advisors, and suppliers, to name but a few.
It’s a remarkable feat in its totality.
It ensures we have coffee to drink, and more to follow. It’s our way of life, and it’s lived out by millions of people around the world.
