I came here for a quick coffe and a snack, Elsa the young lady at the till, was extremely unwelcoming, bitter, giving actitude,i hadn't been asked if i want it to have in or takeaway . I asked for 2x caramel lattes, and I got both of them without caramel, i had to complain to get it right, when I paid for the extra syrup. I understand these days hospitality are short of staff, but i don't think it worth to keep staff like this, because this ruined my morning, and this will be the last time for sure I will come back( at least to this costa coffe). Never in my life was felt so unwelcoming and uncomfortable like she managed to do. But the Asian lady ( i didn't get her name )she was friendly and nice

The food is fine, and the service of SOME of the staff is decent. Met a nice lady who served me and everything was fine, but there was one very audacious Indian man, as I was on my phone, I take accountability for being distracted by work. Once my order was ready he slammed the counter screaming ‘MADAM’ as if I’m some dog who is supposed to obey. It was disgusting, I come here regularly as I work close by, but everyone around me was starting and in shock as well. I understand when it is busy you can feel pressure, but to talk to a CUSTOMER that way is horrid. I don’t believe I did anything to receive such vicious treatment and be yelled at and have someone slam the counter in my face. Please teach your staff some decent manners. And if I was the manager here, I would FIRE this man.

The employee is very bad, I asked him to empty the ashtray because it was full. You have an employee who said that my job is over. It is not possible for the customer to know this. It is unacceptable for him to express it in a rude and scolding way..!!

The worst Costa coffee I have ever been, always with a 20 people on a queue for the toilets . Worst management attitude I have ever seen in my life. When I asked him why there toilets are been broken every time I asked. The answer was don’t treat my stuff like that. When you have to be responsible for your amenities you don’t feel offended by 20 people’s waiting constantly on front of the toilet. But when someone asked you when the toilet will be repaired you are coming with such an attitude. This is a manager if he is one ho doesn’t have to work in accommodation jobs.

Very open feeling, clean and large. Not that busy when I came (6pm hour). Great range of bakery treats. Quick and friendly service from the Barista who served me. Drink was a bit too hot and needed to cool, and annoying that the part-enclosed area amongst the back was no longer open for customers some time in the 6pm hour (I just about finished, after prior notice). Toilet room should be cleaned better.

I'm leaving this review only for Lee. In a world of people that don't care about their job, Lee is different. I watched him analyse the tea cups for cleanliness before putting them on the tray, rejecting those that he felt weren't quite clean enough. Same with cutlery. That means a lot to me and it doesn't go unnoticed. If Lee's manager is reading this, give him a pat on the back, he's a credit to you.

I came here last week and got my drinks and food as wanted. No problems that time. Today 16.08.23 went in and asked for bubble tea without ice, the young worker said how can you have it without ice? I told him as the teas used are already refrigerated, I don’t want extra ice and that’s how I always have it unless it’s a cold coffee. His response was: ‘well they will make it for you, I won’t’ (as in those in other branches). I asked him if he is refusing to serve me and he said yes. I left without being served. His fellow colleague behind the till was shocked at his response. Considering this is a central branch, Costa need to train their staff. I took my business elsewhere, and got my drinks without ice.

I don't usually like to leave bad reviews on places. On this occasion, the store manager was antagonistic & aggressive when I purchased a sandwich to eat whilst I worked. Once I showed the manager my empty sandwich packet, he left me alone. However, he was the same with other patrons & made for a very uncomfortable experience. I understand that it can be annoying when people come in, take up space, and not buy anything. But poorly managing this with antagonistic behaviour is unacceptable

I brought a coffee at this costa outlet I sat outside and I only put my Samsung flip 4 phone on the table, two men badly dressed in tracksuits came over to me begging for money. One man used a sheet of laminated paper to distract me so he could steal my phone. My phone cost me a lot of money and I felt its best to warn people so the same thing doesn't happen to them. I would like to thank the man that works in this costa who was helpful and friendly I very much appreciated that he allowed me to use his phone to get my phone that was stolen blocked. I was able to protect myself against identity theft and very appreciate the fact he was very kind a very big thank you. The coffee is great here and the lady that gave me ice water was kind as I was highly stressed after my phone was stolen. I would come back to this costa but I will make sure I never get my phone out in this part of London.
