The first Puccinos I went to was the one in Kingston. I'd been dragged around the shops and definitely needed a break, so I was really glad to wander into a proper-looking cafe that exuded good coffee vibes. Whilst we were waiting for our coffees I started idly looking around. Above our table, opposite the counter, I saw a floor plan showing the table numbers for the staff. It didn't really catch my eye until I noticed that not only was there an upstairs, but that it had a diagram of a big sofa on it! Needless to say, we had our coffees upstairs on the big sofa.

Puccinos is quite a fun Italian-style cafe, with cool decor and a cool menu, with food and stuff as well as the normal coffees. You can even opt for something a little stronger than normal in your espresso, such as stiff Vodka. The food isn't bad and the chocolate cake portions are huge.

The Puccinos in Brighton is just as good as the one in Kingston and has a better location. The Puccinos in Guildford, however, is terrible; it lacks the same atmosphere and the service is appalling. I haven't tried any of the others yet.
