Literally one piece of chicken in my sandwich!! Tables were dirty, but the place was busy so ordinarily I wouldn't have minded but since I was left hANGRY from paying for basically an empty wrap, I am less willing to ignore. I will not be returning. I do NOT recommend.

FINE, I GUESS? Had to wait a while to be served and had to wait a bit for coffee, but nevertheless a pleasant and convenient place to have a coffee break. I found that the coffee here is inconsistent, one time it's perfect, the next time it's tepid and flavourless. Definitely lacking standards. Overall not bad though.

As usual the tea and hot chocolate were lovely on a cold winters day. The lemon muffins went down well. Staff were pleasant. Toilets!!!! Well that was a different story. They looked like they had not been cleaned for some time. It doesn't take much to clean with a bit of bleach spray so they are not only clean but smell nice.

While in the queue, I noticed a sausage bap had been abandoned beside the biscuits. I explained to the batista, who put it on the counter behind her. I had told her that I didn't know how long it had been out of the fridge. While I was drinking my cappuccino, the same employee came out from behind the counter and put the sausage bap back on sale. No cold chain observed there! The coffee was lovely as usual, but I'll avoid the refrigerated goods from now on.

I was in costa today29/8/20 with my mum who is 83. Both doors were wide open and a wind blowing through it. We changed seats and no different. My mum closed the door closest to her to which a young lad came straight over and opened it again. He gave the reason of Covid and customers not having to touch the door. Yet he wasn’t wearing a mask and other shops in the centre had their door closed. I fully appreciate some measures but this was ridiculous and spoilt our visit . I know everything gets blamed on Covid but very dissatisfied with this.

Went for a quick cuppa with my wife. Had to ask for a clean cup and spoon as the initial ones were dirty. A member of staff then replaced these with a clean cup and another filthy spoon. We then had to chose which was the cleanest table to sit at as all had coffee rings or were sticky. Whilst waiting for my clean cutlery to arrive I had a look around at the rest of the cafe which was generally filthy and grubby. It looks like the whole place needs a proper hoover and scrub. Staff were friendly but I wouldn't go back here due to its lack of cleanliness.

I always enjoy the Latte in Costa. The only thing I would say is that Costa don't do great food and it is extremely expensive. Some of the pastries are not great, very heavy and sickly sweet. There are times when I would like a little snack but not a sweet snack and I am always put off by the options and the price of them. As it's so popular worldwide, I think Costa could do more on this level. Having said that the staff at Costa in Antrim are very efficient, pleasant and quick. Although the turnover is quite high, I think it would benefit from someone ensuring that the restaurant area is kept clean and tidy. There is one girl who is absolutely brilliant at this but when she isn't there the place tends to get a bit untidy looking. We go there all the time but only for coffee for me as I just don't like the food. For such a large franchise, I think they could do a lot better.

Despite the largeness of this coffee bar and obvious popularity the coffee is mediocre and matched by disinterested staff. The position of the coffe machine has the baristas gathering at the till end of the counter adjacent to the back kitchen serbing as an obstacle to free movement. The staff seem to be tripping over each other contributing to their stressed and downcast looks. Waiting time is dreadful. Nevertheless some locals seem to enjoy this experience.

I have to say I'm a coffee connoisseur and Costa do make great coffee. I like this branch because it has an extensive outside seating area that is also shielded by a perspex screen as Junction 1 outlet can be windy even when sunny. The staff are friendly and helpful but I find their choice of food items both savoury and sweet to be for a very rich palette. There's very little plain choice available and to ask for parts to be left off say a sandwich you might as well not bother. They do have a coffee card where you collect points for your hot drinks but there's an expiry date and with no Costa near me where I live I don't use their card. I think there shouldn't be an expiry date for this reward service, other coffee providers give you dtamp cards and once their full you cash it in for a free coffee. I really wish Costa would consider this.

Despite fierce competition with many catering outlets at Junction 1 including Starbucks this is a very busy cafe. But all that glisters is not gold. Perhaps its so busy because its so big - I notice that the cramped Starbucks has now more than doubled its size in response. On my visit the service was mediocre, staff seeming disinterested, very slow and tripping over each other as they all seemed to gather in a cluster around the till. Having the coffee machine situated so close to the cash desk doesn't help. My Latte was thin and watery and lukewarm, the carrot cake was fantastic. My friends had a variety of chocolate buns or cakes which they found mainly inedible.Needs improvement in my view although I am sure the long queues of patrons might disagree.
