Hi I only ran in because I had a allergic reaction to my menstrual pad, I wrote in my notes that could I please use the bathroom to solve the issue and the lovely woman working immediately let me use the bathroom with no trouble. Full definition of a girls girl and helping out a girly in need. Amazing staff I unfortunately didn't get her name but 10/10 thank you so much

We do day dates in our local Costa in Leeds and the atmosphere was the same in the Paignton cafe. We love going for day date breakfasts and also for coffee and cake. It's situated just right in Paignton for the footfall around when you have been walking around the shops to call in for a coffee and some Carrot Cake, yours is yummy. Friendly staff and helpful. Thanks Costa

Given the lack of food available and the astonishing amount of tables with empty coffee cups, plates.and trays scattered all around and the general unkempt appearance of the eating area one can only assume that this Costa in Victoria Street is in the process of closing down. If I am wrong then maybe a visit by Costa’s Area Manager would not go amiss to help rectify the state and cleanliness of the eating area of this particular outlet. Here’s hoping.

I just want to say thank you to Kelly for such a wonderful service. She was on shift 13th of June at 11am and was serving me. She has red hair and is very friendly. I had a terrible experience at this coffee shop last month but today the place was clean and Kelly was excellent not just to me but other customers. Thank you Kelly

It was late in the afternoon so most independent coffee shops were closed therefore had to use Costa. It appeared only 2 staff on duty but the queue was quickly dealt with in a friendly manner. Unfortunately tables had not been cleared or cleaned and there was litter on the floor. The cappuccino was nice.

The coffee shop was so messy. Empty glasses and cups on every table. Unpleasant experience... We had to move the pottery onto a different table to sit in there. The toilet was also dirty. It's a shame as I feel the service and the standards have gone down so much...

Absolutely appalled by the service I recieved , would give 0 stars if possible . I was greeted with negativity and anger from the staff working here , being asked to leave as soon as I stepped through the door . (As soon as my friend said he was buying something her whole attitude towards our group changed and was a stark comparison to the indescribable hostility we received a few moments prior ) .

This is the worst Costa coffee shop we have ever been in, every table was dirty and full of trays with cups and plates on, there were 2 members of staff, neither of which had any intention of clearing any tables for customers to sit at. We had to clear a table ourselves in order to sit down, as did every other customer who entered and chose to stay, some chose to leave upon seeing the state of the place. Very disappointing!

Popped in for a cosy coffee with my family. Long wait at the counter for drinks and then really hard to find a table that had been cleared and cleaned. There were about 4 or 5 comfortable looking seating areas but the rest weren't as nice or comfortable. There are toilets but again they hadn't been attended to.

I witnessed the manager completely dis regard a gentleman's complaint about the 20 minutes he was waiting when he also pointed out people jumping the queue they said this was acceptable. The manager looked to belittle the poor man who had his son with him. I'm still in shock seeing what happened. One person serving while the rest was chatting away. Disgusting

I want to kick myself as I can’t remember the ladies name but recently I suffered a loss of my dog and went in for a coffee. I was very emotional and she came and served my coffee to the table and kept checking on me. The following week I went back in, she remembered me and asked after me and how I was doing. She is an absolute star and a credit to Costa along with the rest of the team. How they cope with such short staff I have no idea, but come what may, the girls always have a smile on their face and are willing to bend over backwards for you! X

I visited this one this summer ( September 1st ) while waiting for my bus to go to Kingswear for a ferry to visit Dartmouth.( I had about 45 to 50 minutes to kill ! ) There was a queue inside w/ about 7, 8 people waiting in the line .I joined 'em to get my vegan smoked ham/ cheese sandwich & hot tea.There were 3 female workers working there. They were all friendly ,but taking too much of time got me nervous if I'd miss my bus !! I am Japanese ( means I got a great patience myself ! )who's from L.A.& saying to myself if this was in L.A.,someone was gonna start complaining to 'em that they were taking way too slow !! Lol. But,you know ...Brits are so good at that !! NO ONE complained ,or made faces !!! Lol.😅 I was impressed / so shocked by that !! Lol.Thank God I made it back to the bus station in time !! If it was another 5 minutes later,I would had missed my bus ! Lol. The sandwich / tea were very good ,btw. I find it better when it's toasted ! ( heated up ) It's still good cold ,I had it before. But,when it's heated up , the vegan cheese melts a little & tastier that way ! So, I recommend others to ask it heated up for 'em ,too ! I really liked Costa & Gregg's in U.K.,btw .!! I don't drink coffee ,but I should had to see ,I was gonna ,forgot !! Lol. I wanted to see if they were much better than Starbucks as other reviews said !? I bet they are !! I really enjoyed visiting a few Costa coffee shops & Gregg's while I was in Wales / England this summer !! To watch how locals were & get the locals vibe in the cities/ towns ! I heard they stopped cream teas ,though !? A bummer !! Or,maybe it was just the particular one at Friars walk, Newport Wales.?? I recommend this shop ,but not if you are in a hurry !!

Lovely staff who seem happy to serve. There is a reasonable amount of seating inside and outside. The entrance and counter gets very crowded when it is busy and service can take a bit of time. Buy a reusable mug and get a free mug of coffee after every 4 purchases.

Busy on arrival, had 6 customers in front. Service sadly was slow due to short staff, so it took almost 20 minutes to be served, as some orders had food as well. Staff were friendly and apologised for the wait. Once served there was a back log of 2 orders before I received my order. If they weren't short staff, I would have given a higher rating.

Always used to go in this costa as the staff were lovely. Went in there today around 4pm and was shocked by how rude the girl serving was! Very unfriendly when taking our order, then on leaving I took our empties to the counter to save them having to clear it and on asking where she would like me to leave it, she barked, put it on the side! Would understand a little if it was busy but that was not the case. I definitely won't be returning to that shop and will just travel a little further to the new one in paignton where all the staff are lovely.

First of all I don't leave reviews on websites because society is frequently annoying me. So it's a big deal for me to write something like this. I came into to costa this morning with my mum at stupid a clock and I was grumpy. But after speaking to the 2 Ladies whilst ordering my mood was completely turned around! They really went out if there way to be friendly and their customer service was impeccable! I believe one of them was called Steph but I didn't catch the blonde ladies name (my bad.) But seriously it's so hard for anybody to even say one word in the morning usually, and these 2 had proper enthusiasm in their work. Id never really been in Costa Paignton even though I've lived in Torbay my entire life. Now I will be in there frequently, spending money and that's thanks to these 2. If you have a reward system I'd recommended both of these 2 to win something or just give them the raise because they really have earned it. THANKS YOU LEGENDS VISIT 6TH APRIL 2021

Ive always thought this was the McDonalds of coffee shops, which if it floats your boat may not necessarily be a bad thing. The queue yesterday was poorly managed - not enough staff to service or manage the line. Customers were pushing in. Went to Greggs which is far cheaper and has no queue at all.

Update on this area (Sept 24)-Staff changes have improved the experience. There's self service machines but don't use them as always seems rude to the staff member and they are in front of the service area which always seems a little odd but they are there if needed. Some seating areas inside and out. Generally a more positive experience than previously where there were foreign workers who would talk in there own language and not interact with customers but these workers have not been seen for some time.
