I'd only use those chains if I had no choice.
I far prefer independent tea-rooms and cafes, and object to paying over the odds for what is either just plain coffee, or coffee-flavoured milk froth, with a pretentious pseudo-Italian name.
On my occasional, long motorway journeys, I use the service-stations' toilets but not their over-priced, gimmick-ridden shops and cafeterias. Instead I take a flask of hot water and some instant coffee, milk, sugar and food.
