Can I have a medium regular up here in NH means a coffee with cream and sugar.

When I asked for a medium regular in Las Vegas it was black. I said, "Where the cream and sugar?" She said behind you have a nice day.

What do you get when you order a "regular" coffee??
 
Plain Coffee, not decaf, no cream or sugar, no flavoring. Really around here only Dunkin Donuts puts anything in your coffee for you.
 
Sorry can't answer that question. I always get some sort of specialty coffee from our local coffee shop. My most recent favorite is called sweet tooth and it has peanut butter, chocolate, and caramel flavored syrup in it.

YUMMMMMYY!!
 
A "regular" coffee means plain (non-flavored/non-decaf), black coffee. I have never heard of anyone assuming that you want cream and/or sugar in your coffee - or putting it in for you. :confused3
 

I think the 'regular' thing is definitely an North East Coast thing. In NYC if you order regular it means 2 creams/2 sugars or something like that. If you ordered it 'regular' in LA, it would be black.

yep

if you ask for a 'large regular' at Dunkin Donuts - comes with cream and sugar.
if you ask for a "venti regular" at starbucks - you get it black with cream and sugar behind you

my order is complicated at DD...large vanilla SPICE (you gotta emphasize it - I've gotten 3 vanilla CHAIS instead of vanilla SPICE recently) with skim milk and 3 equal
 
I'm originally from Western NY (Niagara Falls area) and to me "regular" is with cream and sugar.
 
Order a French Vanilla regular and it's a FV with 2 creams, 2 sugars. It never dawned on me that other parts of the country it was different (lived in NH & MA my whole life). When I ordered the regular in Vegas the second day I told them they made the regular wrong. She was like, "Sorry hun, around here regular means black coffee!"
 
Regular means cream & sugar around here.

I've had the same problem ordering vanilla spice. I keep getting French Vanilla, Cinnamon spice, and that nasty excuse for chai they sell.

Around here a regular is cream and sugar. If you want extra cream/extra sugar it's a large iced extra extra
 
regular means milk and sugar here, but if you order a regular in a place that doesn't put the milk and sugar in it for you it would be black. KWIM
 
Wish I lived in Fl said:
Regular is cream and sugar but that is for Dunkin Donuts, Massachusetts.

And dunkin donuts, Connecticut

:)
 
"regular" coffee is a New England/NY thing! People elsewhere don't understand what you mean by that.
 
The Dunkin Donuts here will ask you if you want cream and sugar if you go in and order coffee. Regular here usually means a size like medium :)
 
Must be one of those regional pecularities. We also ask for a "regular" here in NH and get cream and sugar. Wouldn't dawn on me when I was somewhere else that a regular might not be the same thing and I would end up with black coffee. Yuk. :confused3
 
Regular here is just black. I'd be irritated if someone put cream and sugar in it for me! Weird!

In Australia, a regular coffee is half coffee/half milk. It's called a flat white, but for some reason I always ended up with one when I ordered a "cup of coffee." :crazy2:
