Coffee Lab UK in Winchester

Go in here quite a lot and the service is usually lovely . However today it was different . It was very quiet and waited over 10 minutes for just 2 teas when I went up too see where they were the young girl snapped .. there coming !! When we got them she chucked them down and glared at both of us !! Felt very uncomfortable

Consistently the best costa branch. Always make a great cortqdo and always friendly. Every costa should be the same standard as thi one.

Have not been here since pre Covid. Other reviews were not so good, but we had no complaints. We were early on a Sunday morning so although quite a few people the service was not slow. The coffee was excellent, and the carrot cake jolly tasty. The toilets were very clean. For me I trod carefully on the terrace which did look a bit slippery.

I was inspired to write this review by seeing a Greggs eating numpty slamming the place for price. Yeah, they're not cheap but you're paying for quality ingredients and an amazing product which is value for money. For less than a fiver you're getting a huge sweet treat with complex flavours, a very satisfying, delightfully flaky pastry and a very satisfying and filling experience. If you want a hit of sugar and bland white, air filled bread? There are cheaper options! You won't get a limp chicken pasty here. If you want extremely satisfying bread made with high quality flour and an amazing crust? If you want tasty, sweet pastries with a delicious zing? If you love good food rather than ultra processed? Then this won't bust your budget and will fill you up. The venue itself is a warehouse with some benches other branches are much nicer.

Like every Costa it looks like it was designed during the same time period that we were building every apartment block out of concrete. It's ugly, slightly depressing and the coffee is a mixed bag. The staff are friendly and the service is excellent though. Our experience wasn't bad but short of a remodel and a fresh menu I will avoid this location.
