The worst costa i have ever been too, workers standing around talking instead of serving the long queue. I asked for a flat white to takeaway, I ended up with coffee water flat white. No taste of coffee, Absolutely disgusting and a waste of my money. If I could give it a half a star or zero star I would. Sort your shop out.

I just wanted to say what an absolute pleasure it is to be sat in Costa this morning (forgot my office keys so had to kill half an hour) The staff here are so friendly, they seem to know everyone by name and make the time to chat and pass pleasantries with everyone who walks through the door. I am super impressed. Please visit if you are passing you will not be disappointed.

Decent enough coffee, but beware the pushy old ladies that are "entitled" to your table when you have barely stood up to put your coat on.

white americano it was awful full water. coffee. two drops of cold milk They always need to know the level of water put into the coffee. I see this as Costa Coffe's general problem.

Been a few times now and always had a fairly good experience here. It's always busy here and sometimes it can be a long wait for food and drinks but the staff are very helpful and pleasant. The atmosphere here is always busy The service is always good also. All in all a fairly decent coffee shop to visit.

This is a great Costa in the lovely Stevenage Old Town. The drinks are always made perfectly, the staff are so friendly and always make you feel welcomed. The cafe is clean and tidy. They also have some outdoor tables which are nice to use in warmer weather.

Staff member told me that the shop was busy. There were 10 customers including me. 6 seated amongst dirty messy tables and 3 queuing. This was our go-to coffee place. Costa now needs to up it's game: there are new cafes on the high street where staff will bring food and drink to the table and keep things clean. Sadly not my first poor Costa experience over recent weeks.

I went to Costa at the suggestion of the friend that I was meeting. I didn't know what to order, not wanting tea or coffee. In the end we settled on a red berry drink that was blitzed up with ice. It was OK but £4 was a lot for a small cup of it. On the bright side, the chap behind the bar was a great help in finding at least something on their menu that I was prepared to drink. To be honest, the place would probably better suit coffee drinkers, being a coffee shop. I forgot to take a picture, sorry. I imagine that, of you are in the game of going to coffee shops, you know the sort of thing that they are like. This one will probably meet with your expectations - and the toilet that I used was good too.

5th November 2022 update Service still very slow, almost 12 people queuing all the time with 5 waiting after my placing orders, even though they had 2 making coffee, 1 on the till. Floors still dirty, in some places sticky, as are the tables. Toilets not clean. Can getting extremely loud during busy times. Coffee standards dropped, as Christmas drink was warm, weak tasting and badly made. Cakes, only saving grace but had to ask for my cake order because it was not done till after the coffee. Had to ask for cutlery and napkins. Service, presentation and standards seriously dropped, lack of communication from till to coffee making then orders wrong or not completed. Will avoid for sometime.

Normally I'm grabbing a coffee to go here but today we sat in for coffee and cake. Table felt a bit sticky and when I picked up the tray I could not believe how dirty the table was! Needs more than a wipe, a sanding clean would probably be more appropriate!

Really nice coffee and experience in general. Me and my girlfriend were served by Daniela who answered all our questions, gave us great recommendations and all with a smile! When my girlfriend went to the toilet I asked Daniela, after a small time observing our relationship, if she thought we had a future. Daniela then proceeded to provide me with some of the most earth shattering, ground breaking and enlightening advice I’ve ever received. I proposed to my girlfriend (NOW fiancé) later that day! Daniela is going to officiate our ceremony next June <3 We owe our happiness and future to Daniela and Old Stevanage Costa, thank you!

Not the friendliest service from the Romanian ladies, they should def learn some basic softskills. The toilet and tables inside were all very dirty and unattended. We asked for medium coffees, paid for medium coffes and got them small. When we told the ladies about the confusion they were very rude and rolled their eyes and started talking in their own language and make such a big deal about it like it was our fault. Really bad experience, put us off our coffees/cakes.

Awful in almost every respect.Sign saying to wait here to be seated but no staff. Interminable wait for service and at one point everyone in the restaurant had finished eating but nobody was clearing tables. Several people appeared to receive the wrong order or returned theirs for unknown reasons. Bland, microwaved food and very small portions. No sign of the steaks advertised outside! There have to be better places than this to eat in Stevenage.

Visited with friends for pre Christmas lunch. The service was slow and impersonal. We waited ……. and waited for our orders to be taken and for food service and for further service for drinks and coffee My salt and pepper calamari starter was tepid at best and was absent any hint of salt or pepper. Mains were ok but coffee was again tepid, all an indication the these items had been hanging around in the kitchen waiting for delivery to our table In all a two course lunch and coffee for four people took more than 3-hours Clearly more staff with more experience are needed to service the restaurant if things are to improve to an acceptable standard
