Coffee in Vilnius

The Baltic Times writes a gushing article on coffee houses in Vilnius, and especially the chains we now have here, like Coffee Inn or Double Coffee, where you get 'a decent breakfast along with your morning coffee'.  If you have plenty of time, that is - the service in Double Coffee, whether you are in Kiev or Vilnius, is notoriously slow.  After one morning finding half the staff asleep on the benches in a Kiev branch open 24 hours a day, it kind of put me off a little.

But are these reports really neutral? Did I not hear the other day that journalists get paid by the subjects of the 'research' for writing nicely about them?
