more coffee?

There were at least a half-dozen coffee choices at Stratford's widely-known and justifiably popular coffee shop, Balzac's.

And let's not even mention the pastries.

Browsing amongst the thermal carafes, we see light roasts and dark roasts and flavoured coffees. The last one on the counter raises questions. On the attached information card, not one but two of the coffee types are ticked. Light and dark.

Confused, we address the server.

Which one is it?

Oh, comes the bright and helpful response, it's both.

Both?

"Yes, it's a marble coffee."
