Do you remember going to Coles Cafeteria and getting tea in one of these iconic red-striped cups? Holding that cup meant warm tea and a cheeky treat during a busy city trip. Who remembers sipping from one of these during a day out? Share your memories here.

Yes, I remember the Coles cafeteria and the cups that my mother and grandmother would use. I was a bit too young for tea back then so I would always get a milkshake in an aluminium cup.

Gosh you are also describing my experiences. Coles Cafeteria was a special school holiday treat as a family, dress up go to the city on the train (red rattler) shopping and Coles for lunch.

We went to Four Corners and the Grace Bros cafeteria at Roselands Shopping Centre when it first opened in the mid 1960s.

I vaguely remember the Coles cup from the Bondi Junction cafeteria even earlier when I was about four or five.

Always looked forward to this treat in school holidays too. Loved the little jelly cups too.

40 years ago, I went into Perth to do some shopping, I had my daughter with me and so I went upstairs in Coles to get a cup of black coffee while my small daughter had a drink of milk. It was the last time either of us ever had anything to drink or eat in a Coles cafeteria!! Floating on the top of my coffee was a very well-cooked cockroach. Over the years, that cockroach has saved me a good deal of money. I always wait until I get home before I indulge in a cup of coffee or even eat!!
