Like David Attenborough, only with more baristas (Picture: Metro)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Whether you’re a double espresso<\/a> girly, strictly into herbal tea<\/a>, or a seasonal pumpkin spiced latte lover, you’ll likely have a go-to high street<\/a> spot for your beverage of choice. <\/p>\n

Some of us can be pretty religious when it comes to coffee<\/a> shop culture – and you can learn a lot about someone from their favourite chain.<\/p>\n

Each brand has its own energy, different breed of customers, and lighting varying from subtle to straight-up offensive.<\/p>\n

The question is – what does your preferred hot drinking hole say about you? <\/p>\n

For a tongue-in-cheek investigation, I spent a week coffee-shop-hopping, making notes and attempting to pin down the vibe of each one; like David Attenborough, only with more baristas.<\/p>\n

Here’s what we found, with a Metro <\/strong>vibe verdict for each one.<\/p>\n

Vibe verdict<\/strong>: Striped shirts and sweater vests<\/p>\n

Is anyone enjoying themselves here? (Picture: Getty)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I\u2019ll admit it, I wasn\u2019t actually looking forward to coming here, as Starbucks<\/a>, for me, represents a place that’s full of people while simultaneously being absolutely devoid of all life; zombie land for pumpkin spice fans.<\/p>\n

However, my trip to the home ofsturdy latte mugs and wood-strong decor was actually more action-packed than I’d expected.<\/p>\n

There weren’t many seats available among the businessmen and teenagers training to be TikTok<\/a> creators when I arrived at the West London branch on a Thursday afternoon. But I managed to cram myself in next to a couple studying together – who soon began aggressively snogging and whispering sweet nothings in each other’s ears. <\/p>\n

Thankfully, I didn’t have to find a bucket to throw up in because they pretty quickly jumped up and abandoned their flat whites, presumably to ramp things up at home.<\/p>\n
