Not sure why it doesn't have a star rating for the coffee but... Staff were lovely and the atmosphere was good but the oat latte coffee was probably the worst I've ever had. I don't like strong coffee but this one didn't taste of coffee at all it was so very weak. Real shame as I like it in here.

Great place with great staff. Special shoutout to the star of the show Keonie - arguably the best barista going, the Kylian Mbappe of Coffee. What a prodigy. Costa, you've got some serious talent on your hands in the form of this wonderkid.

Rude male staff sitting on the chair behind the till, asked politely to speed my order as need to go back to work and he said “ only one person can be on the coffee station” and stayed sitting 😂😂😂 used to run few coffee shop to know he is just lazy. So just walk away. Normally the staff is really good in this one only this mid age guy with beard. Seen him first time and now on once I see him will going to Nero. Avoid him!!!

If I could give this no stars I would. I’m in Costa, Chelmsford High St all the time and usually find the staff very nice and polite but not Kira. She’s rude, surly and miserable. Has no customer service skills whatsoever. How did she get to be a supervisor. She thinks when you speak to her in the same tone she’s speaking to you - you are the one being rude and refuses to serve you. NO Kira it’s you. Learn how to speak to customers after all we are the ones paying your salary.

Great branch of this popular coffee chain. I come here quite frequently and there is now never a quiet time. Staff are always friendly and efficient in serving. Lighting has been very recently changed. It is now much brighter and lighter, but in my opinion it is now too harsh!

What can you say? It's a Costa Coffee. No issues at all apart from a lack of power points to plug in laptop - unforgivable in this day and age.

Visited on a Sunday afternoon for a coffee and hot chocolate after our normal coffee shop over the road on Chelmsford High Street (Caffe Nero) was shut. This Costa is nice, clean and spacious (see photos) and the late afternoon sun comes through the front window. Staff were friendly and efficient and cakes and food well stocked. Both the large hot chocolate (with oat milk) and the Latte were good. However, in terms of quality/taste I still think Caffe Nero is tastier. In terms of cost Costa were 30p more expensive for the same items. Recently Caffe Nero has been often closing before their scheduled closing time which is annoying, so we may well be here more often as Costa seems more reliable.

A little disappointed with service, although small queue and plenty of seating. Server unable to hear order & not understanding the menu choices. Would prefer menu prompts near till to assist especially with new menu items. Nice helpful staff but better process required. Will likely pre order next time even if outside the shop!!

I popped into costa with my two babies so double buggy and shopping, and once ordered, Saskia was so kind to ask me to take a seat and she brought my coffee & biscuit over. This might not seem much to some but it meant the world to me not having to maze through a que, seats and customers with a buggy and coffee! and with my children. Thanks again Saskia you made my day by your thoughtfulness and kindness. I will be sure to pop back ☺️

So I'm sitting here having my flat white. I'll be honest, at first I made my mind up about this place very quickly as it seemed disorganised and all over the place. However, when it finally came to getting my coffee, it was at lightning speed, and the quality was superb. The team here seem really up against it at the busy times. Its fantastic to see people from the community meeting up at their local coffee shop for a chat or even a meeting. The team here do a superb job and I really hope they can keep it up. Well done team.

Went there for new year to watch a family friend DJ, I was met by a Peter stringfellow wanna be who claimed he was the landlord and refused us entry claiming it was full to capacity. This male was not polite and virtually pushed me of the step by puffing up his chest and putting his hand up. I get it if it was full to capacity, however we were sat down the road and he let others in, so obviously he was showing off to other outside by bullying four females. Would never return.

We stopped for a quick coffee and something to eat. I asked for a lemon muffin. The young man behind the counter said they didn't have any in stock. He looked like he wasn't really interested and was in autopilot. We had our coffee and as we were about to leave I noticed that they were fully stocked with muffins. Not the end of the world, but wasn't the most helpful service that day.
