    Marketing, ambience, and because there's not always a McCafe around.

    FYI - I did see the cakes getting loaded into the cabinet at McCafe once. The boxes said they came from a "bakery" in Queensland somewhere.

    Off topic, but if you want to try some really good locally made cakes, try Ginger Bakery in Wanchai on Johnston Road (close to The Pawn). Their Banana Cream tart is to die for.

    Agreed, the cakes at McCafe are (in my limited experience) not very good..
    Also, I'd rather sit in a Starbucks store (preferably drinking outside bought coffee) than in a McCafe (not a fan of the McDonalds aroma....)

    Would Cafe Velo be around IFC? Best value coffee I think, and great brekkie sets.
