Locals recommend
"When we say, 'Let's go for coffee!' it doesn't mean we're going to have a black, bitter, caffeinated drink originating from Ethiopia, which has successfully (even more so than the British) colonized the whole world. No. What we mean is, 'Let's go somewhere and sit for hours while ordering some (non-alcoholic) drink.''
