On The Run

I’m giving On the Run one star for one reason. Because I can’t give less. A few months ago I probably would have given them three or four. Totally agree with Lee and Natasha on the convenience and there coffee isn’t bad.
My issue is with their tea.
When they started selling tea they had three tea bags in a max sized cup. That’s about right as they use four or five shots in a max coffee (or used to). Then all of a sudden they dropped to one tea bag. So for the same price you now get no flavour.
I’m not sure who the bright spark was that decided this but there’s your zero for customer service that we are so well known for. I’m also a long black drinker and I’m pretty convinced they’ve dropped the number of shots in their coffee as well.
So obviously it’s all about the buck.
Open 24 hours, awesome.
Convenience, awesome.
Value for money? Nope.

I’m definitely not Adelaide’s expert on good coffee. People tell me places are good, and I trust them, but I’m not the most discerning caffine drinker. But feel free to ask me about convenient coffee. It’s not coming from the latest hipster café to spring up, and there aren’t any crazy cool brewing methods, but I’m still a fan of On the Run North Terrace.
See when I’m heading off to TAFE in the wee hours of the morning I can stop in here to grab a coffee or a hot chocolate to beat the chill. I can also pop in here at 9pm, 12am, 2am, etc. when I’m pumping out an assignment or need some throat lozenges so that my throat actually functions (hello tonight).
Drunk? Why not get a slushee. Or chocolate. Or chips.
They really do sell just about anything you’d expect to find at the supermarket, I’m sure at jacked up prices, but who can complain at 3am?
The people working here all seem friendly, and the place is very clean for somewhere that probably services many seedy people throughout the night.
