Inside the Coffee Primo at Warwick

Coffee Primo (previously Café Primo) is Welcome Break's own brand of coffee, introduced in 2002 they aim to provide baked snacks and a wide variety of drinks on request. In February it was announced that the brand will soon be phased out in favour of Starbucks, even though when Starbucks was first trialled at Corley it didn't outsell Coffee Primo.

Many services now have two Coffee Primos - one is part of the main café and the other is a small lounge. For a short while, Welcome Break painted their services orange as part of Coffee Primo's colour scheme.

Moto and RoadChef both use high-street coffee companies, Caffe Ritazza and Costa Coffee respectively.

Coffee Primo has won several awards such as 'Best Beverage Experience' and it came 25th in 'Europe's Top 50 Coffee Shops'. Welcome Break offered a system called Primo Pay, which allowed customers to pre-pay for their drink.

Author: Message: Anonymous brand is being phased out http://www.welcomebreak.co.uk/ContactUs ... rbucks.htm Posted: 04 Mar 2010, 21:52 Anonymous Oxford outlet seem to think their rock cakes are scones! We ordered cream teas and were served their sickly sweet version. Ugh!! Posted: 25 Sep 2009, 19:52 Anonymous Why does this chain use fabric chairs in their Primo lounges? On a recent visit to Michael Woods sevices on the M5 we sat on these orange fabric chairs that were badly stained and dirty with crumbs of food down the back The fabric used is obviously very difficult to clean and each chair also needs to be vacuumed regularly so make these chairs totally impractical I would have thought a different covering would have been much more sensible for such a high use area? and far more pleasant to have to sit on Posted: 23 Aug 2009, 10:49 Johnny Not for the world, mate.
