Too familiar ...
The problem with having regular haunts and getting to know the people who serve you in, say, a coffee shop, is that on the occasions where you want a coffee but DON'T want a chat, you're stuck with either going somewhere else and getting inferior coffee, or appearing rude and standoffish by grunting your order, collecting it and walking out without any banter.
Yes, it's a first world problem, and yes I want a coffee.

You need a fallback cafe that is still high quality, but where you don't know people well enough. Try harmony cafe on Quay St, or Coffee Trails in Henry Deane Plaza.

Thanks for the tips, it is useful to have a backup ... Might try Coffee Trails, since it's on the way "home"
