"I visited your coffee shop for the first time last month. The wonderful experience that I had is what prompted my application in the first place! I loved my Americano, and the blueberry muffin was to die for!"

The interviewer would like to know that you have visited their coffee shop and that you are familiar with their menu, ambiance, and overall offering. It is vital that you go to this coffee shop before your interview, even if it is not directly in your neighborhood. If the interviewer asks you this question, and you respond with 'I have never been here before' it gives the impression that you are not engaged in the process. Share what you order, what your favorite menu item is, and how often you go there.

"This coffee shop has been my go-to stop since moving into this neighborhood five years ago. Most mornings I come and order a regular mocha latte and breakfast panini. It's the best start to my day, and it helps that your baristas are always so friendly and cheerful."
