I bring my own cream. Soya UHT in a tetra pak.So today I went to a trendy coffee shop in London and asked if they did coffee with cream (thinking low carb), after some confusion we established they have milk substitutes (soya and almond) and do full fat milk, they don't do cream. I was wondering if anybody has experienced a coffee shop that did do cream, and where was that? I'm thinking this would be an interesting indicator of where HFLC has become fashionable/accepted?
Starbucks have had it every time I have asked.if anybody has experienced a coffee shop that did do cream
because I'm an idiot and dyslexic (sorry)I don’t want to offend by derailing this thread so, if anyone is offended, I am happy to be ignored or deleted as my question is mostly to satisfy my curiosity.
@copilost you describe the diet as HFLC whereas, previously, I have only seen it as LCHF. I assume the common nomenclature is because, with diabetes, most people focus primarily, on reducing carbs.
My question is why do you put the high carb bit first?

I only eat one mdu carb at a time...My favourite is when people say how many crabs they eat.
I asked in Costa Coffee in Preston a couple of months back and the computer said no. Then there is the question of single cream or double cream.So today I went to a trendy coffee shop in London and asked if they did coffee with cream (thinking low carb), after some confusion we established they have milk substitutes (soya and almond) and do full fat milk, they don't do cream.

Don’t they add sugar to the whipped cream?@copilost
Something else to consider, is that any place that offers whipped cream on top of hot chocolate (and they ALL do that) can put the same stuff on a cup of black coffee. Then you can just stir it in.

You can taste the sugar in the whipped cream.You would have to ask them. Or look at the nutrition info on their website.
Personally, I would choose a sugarless drink with whipped cream on it, over a sugarless drink with milk in it. I doubt there is more sugar in 50mls of whipped cream than in 200mls of milk. But we can all make a judgement call on it.
I would prefer the cream, but then I gave up coffee 2? 3? years ago, so the whole question is academic for me - though I miss it daily.
Oh good to know, Cafe Nero is my favourite for coffee, when you say "squirt" does it come from a can?Caffe Nero do a drink called espresso con panna, which is a double espresso with a large squirt of unsweetened cream on top. I love it, but I'm sure they could add the cream to any other coffee.
