These existing independent, and often family run, cafes are not expensive third wave coffee shops, if anything they are comparable to a greasy spoon. I was at Parliament Hill Cafe the other day, and from memory a flat white was around £3.80. Compare that to Daisy Green, which charges £4.30 for a flat white.
