Catch up chats over coffee are a thing of the past and I miss them (and the cake too)I met someone the other day. The unplanned social interactions walking along the street when going for a coffee or walking home for lunch. I used to be greeted by a piping hot coffee first thing every Monday morning, often with a bun or madeleine beside it. You'd strike up a conversation just asking what Pike Place coffee was. I ran afowl of a particularly strong espresso one day on my first day working in a skyscraper.
