Just bought a flat white from here. It was a large cup of hot milk that smelt like coffee.. Flat whites should be small and strong. Went starit in the bin. Avoid

Absolutely lovely, the toasties were excellent and the hot chocolate was gorgeous! You even got a little sundae spoon to help deal with the cream on top easier.

Title: Disappointing Experience I recently visited Costa and was thoroughly disappointed. The piece of cake I received was ridiculously small for the price, leaving me feeling cheated. To make matters worse, the service was lacking; the staff seemed disinterested and unhelpful. Overall, a frustrating experience that I won't be repeating.

Pretty standard fair for a Costa but the queues inside can take a while to get moving. If you're short of time, make sure to go through the drive thru instead as that moves at double the speed of inside

Ok. So we came in on Saturday 20/7. Absolutely mobbed but served efficiently but we didn’t get our beans! Came in today and I mentioned to Joshua and it was sorted immediately. I’d emailed customer service with no response but Joshua remembered making our coffees and apologised (not needed). Anyway I wanted to shout out that Joshua was brilliant!!!

Had the same issue both times I last visited Shop is busy and 2 people serving drive through customers then only 1 making drinks for the shop customers and shop very busy and the person serving keeps serving customers yet lots of people still waiting on drinks. I had asked for my drink extra hot but it was far from extra hot. But as I was take away and didn't realise how cold it was until I was away I couldn't return then wait in queue again. If you ask form something and pay for it that's what you should get. All staff clearly need retrained and also listen to people ask for . Not happy.

Sadly, an absolute rip off. The breakfast deal* is very unclear, it says it should be £2.50 for coffee and a roll, however that's the roll price only and you a pay a full price for the coffee. The roll was given without the sauce, even though we asked for it. The coffee is way too hot, you need at laest 20 min to actually be able to drink it. There are other places that do the same thing better at half the price. It's a shame.

Stopped for tea and toasties, sitting in Tea was good, as were the Toasties and biscuits. It's a Costa so you know what your getting, but it was better than 95%. Staff were efficient and pleasant with our order. Noted they were restocking as customers purchased, keeping busy. Descent number of tables and good separation compared to some Costa outlets. Felt spacious. Everything looked clean and well kept. Definitely one of the best we've experienced.

Came here with my bf who is a costa staff at another store. We used his qr code to get staff discount and took a while to work. She said to put brightness up on the phone which it already was, the screen has a glass protector that darkens view from side from people but is fully bright from front view. The elderly lady staff with the brown hair full fringe- seems like the manager- was making fun and talking negatively about us to the other staff which they then proceeded to laugh at us. Terrible worker and would not find this kind of service in other costas

I'm in Costa daily, with various branches . Popped in yesterday afternoon. 1 person making drinks for the queue and the drive-through. 2 people cleaning the prep area and 1 wandering around re stocking . From the moment of service, I waited at least 10mins to receive 2 coffees. Looked around for a clean table and there wasn't one ! Trays and cups on every table and trays of used cups and half eaten food also along the window ledges where people had cleared their own table . Looked like some sort of management meeting going on at a small table . We walked out and sat outside !. I work in the same sort of business and would have been appalled and apologising at my customers getting that sort of service 🙃

Drinks were as expected for the drive through. But when ordering a bacon “bap” as it’s described on the menu, the staff were unimpressed when I questioned the price at the window making payment & I repeated the order. They were visibly annoyed an unapologetic as if it was my fault that I ordered as it’s described on their menu

Not the best Mocha I had in other Costas. Staff looked super busy, nobody asked if I wanted cream on top etc, which I thought was a standard in this chain. Another let down especially for my wife was being served coffee in takeaway cups, not the nice mugs, even though there was a pile of them available. I like Costa Coffee in general, but will not come back to the one in Hermiston Gait

Your delivery guy 'Jony' wants working on. He knocked my door and then decided to come right in to my flat without my consent. And after I scolded him for letting himself into someone's else home he just smiled. I suggest you work on your delivery staff before someone else does. Knock the door then just walk in if you can? Who does that? What if that had been a kid he'd done that to?? Don't think so pal. Unacceptable behaviour.

Quite recently opened this Costa is situated in a reasonably busy retail park. It is usually busy but generally seats have been available when I've been in. It has all the usual Costa offerings and kept fairly clean.

One thing I am noticing more about customer care in various places is that these places feel unwelcoming and staff doing the bare minimum. This place felt like that. Staff were not warm or helpful or considerate. I was good at customer care when I worked in hospitality and always went the extra mile and was conscientious- this place did not feel like that. I did not feel this was a good experience. I know it’s just coffee but I feel like people are not as caring and considerate and kind as they used to be. I won’t be returning.

We wondered around many other places and decided for this places because of the initial kindness of the waitress when we where passing by and had a question. Went back for lunch and had a great lentil soup, salmon with salad and green juice. We decided to go back the next day, as we wanted something different from the regular pizza, hamburgers and such offered around. It did not disappoint, great place, very small and wonderful views of the castle

This was my first time here, and It was very good! My only complaints were that the drinks came a while before the food & that the small breakfast egg was quite greasy. The food tasted great though & the presentation was lovely. The tables were cleared efficiently as customers left & it was overall a rather peaceful atmosphere. Would recommend.
