Costa, Caffè Nero, Starbucks and Espresso Con Panne

Problem
Where can I get double espresso coffee with cream?

Answer
You can buy it at Caffè Nero, Costa, or Starbucks. But in our local areas of both Singapore and London, England, we found that only one listed Doppio Espresso Con Panne on the menu, the chalk board on the wall behind the counter.

Which one? Caffè Nero. 'The Italian Coffee Company' said their blue paper bag. The bag contained a muffin my family bought. It was raspberry and almond.

I objected, "That's highly calorific."

They smiled, "But you are only getting one third!"

First bite was good. My third didn't have a lot of raspberry, after the first bite. Where was the almond? The sliced almond flakes on top looked real enough.
