Change to rooibos tea.

Or for coffee I know there is a thing that they do, my mum used to have it, think it was Chicory based.

Something like that anyway- your local wholefood/health shop will probably have it if you expain you can't have coffee.

Edit, after googling I don't mean Camp coffee suryp.

Camp coffee is one of the most disgusting tasting things in the world. Your better off with water.

I know what you mean! I bought a Scotch pie in a butchers shop and to my surprise there was absolutely no Scotch in it....just meaty bits...of 'meat'! Don't get me started about Scotch eggs either!

And what about moth balls?

I admit I had to wonder why a caffeine intolerant person frequents a coffee shop??

My only concern here is that if you are/have been THAT intolerant to caffeine, surely before now you would have had a chocolate bar that made you sick?

If you have such an extreme reaction to caffeine, perhaps arguably that similar to a nut allergy, surely by a very young age you would be 100% certain of everything that contained something that would make you (from what would appear from your OP) violently sick insomuch that you couldn't even make it to the toilet and were sick in the middle of the shop?

Seems a little strange to me.

There are greasy cafe's or Tea shops, up and down the High Street serving a fresh hot cup of tea, (although even TEA has caffeine in it), but if your intolerant of coffee, "starbucks" or "Costa Coffee", indeed any "coffee shop" is probably not the best place to go for a caffeine free beverage.

For the same reasons a vegan is best avoiding the hotdog stand.

No idea, I just used to get the jars for my birdseed.

Always smelt lovely, but then so do some candles I guess and I wouldn't want to melt them in hot water to drink.

not just frequents the coffee shop but then complains that they sell coffee with caffeine in it!

Have to say if the OP has such an extreme intolerance to a substance that it causes medical problems why on earth not just play safe and have a juice or smoothie? Ridiculous to rant at Starbucks and the title of the thread is pretty extreme and unnecessary as well.

For someone who is intolerant of something you have not done any research have you.

For someone who is needs to avoid caffeine because you'll almost be hospitalised if you have it.... you seem to be a little lacking in your research.

I knew it. Caffeine in Hot Chocolate, and Decaff coffee. Should have got the White Hot Chocolate.

I've never heard of Caffeine free coca-cola and Pepsi. Oh my, now that's something I didn't know. Decaff has caffeine in it, but in small amounts. No wonder I've been feeling ill each day when I have like 7 cups of coffee. I'll have to see if I can get caffeine free coffee. Surely my local Tesco has some. They have a wide range of coffees taking up nearly half an aisle.

Thanks for telling me, I didn't know cocoa had caffeine in it.

Oh come on....... if caffeine REALLY could make you seriously ill then you should have put some effort into researching it. Indeed, a medical professional would have offered some information to get you started.

So...... attention seeking drama queen or just a bit dumb - you decide.
