Really poor service. Ordered an Americano with milk and mocha with cream. Americano was black and no cream on mocha. Asked for some cream and the girl squirted it on and shoved the lid on. Spilt everywhere. Asked for some napkins and a new cup and we were given a filthy look. Girl then poured it into a new cup which flattened the cream. No apology given.

I just had the best cappuccino I’ve ever had in my life. I’m thinking what made it so good? It was bubbly, aerated, light, taste like coffee, just perfect in every way. Whoever was making the coffee in the northbound drive-through at about 4:30 pm on Friday, the 15th of March, I salute you coffee artist

The nicest Costa I've been to. The staff were super nice, served us straight away and made the drinks and food quicker than ever before. Couldn't fault them!

We used the Costa drive through at Taunton Dean; the service was quick and the food/coffee hot, however, the coffee was too hot, burned you might say, with a gritty texture. Not only that we ordered regular, we got a large so the waste was even more! I’ve never had an awful coffee from Costa but this was undrinkable. Disappointing considering it’s a service station for people who are travelling or have been travelling for quite a distance- the coffee was a much needed energy boost for a long drive ahead.

Awful!! Taunton Deane dri thru north bound. Supposed to close at 6pm. Got there at 5.50pm behind another car and one behind us also. Starting taking our orders and the girl then said 'my manager has told me to close. You can get coffee in the main building' dreadful customer service. Turning business away!! If you don't want the business and decide to close early why don't you turn the open sign off, so people wouldn't waste their time coming off the motorway to do through a drive thru that doesn't wish to provide coffee!!

Located within the rest area with plenty of parking space for trucks and other vehicles. Easily accessible with also access to EV charging stations. It’s about 30 minutes outside Exeter and an hour away from Bristol. Plenty of seating both inside and outside.

Just wanted to write a little review about the lovely service I received on my journey yesterday. It makes such a difference when you get a service with a smile. I’m gutted I didn’t get the lovely girl’s name but whoever served me was delightful. Despite the hot weather she gave fantastic customer service. She was so friendly and made sure I used my Costa card which has actually given me a free tea this morning so win win! Such a lovely girl and she deserves to be recognised so thank you whoever you are. You really brightened my day for a boring long journey!

Staff friendly helpful and efficient. Sadly, they were let down by the food which was cheap and nasty. Awful, cheap white bread, cheap cheese and tomato paste described by the fictional title cheese and roasted tomato toasties.

Today's visit to Costa was shambolic. Granted we made a large order of 5 drinks and 7 food items but there could certainly have been better attention paid to dietary requirements. Our order contained vegan foods. When the food was being handed over, we asked which items were which, we were told that they didn't know. As the food order contained mostly toasties, you couldn't tell from looking at them which was the vegan option. It wouldn't have taken much to mark a V on the cardboard or even a dot to simply distinguish which item was vegan. The drinks were of a similar nature. We all had coffies but we again were told by the staff member that didn't know which were which. In today's society with so many people having dietary requirements and allergies I think this is an appauling attitude to take and one that I find unacceptable. We didn't use rest if the facilities so cannot comment on them as we only did drive through.

I’m comfortable with the overpriced food and drink on a motorway services, but what a tired and grubby environment. Not busy, but dirty trays not cleared up, dirty crockery and grubby table tops. The epitome of perfunctory

Such slow service in the kiosk we've never waited so long for a coffee and then the young person in there couldn't remember, out of 2 drinks, which had vanilla in. Coffee isn't the best we've had from Costa either. Won't bother going there again

Went in to get a quick latte and get on with my hot journey. Waited ages to get served but I was at the till. No organisation or communication as to why I was waiting (should have at least said you need to hold on etc). I waited another 5 minutes after ordering. Then they explained they had 2 new staff (worst timing ever for a bank hol). Then another 5 minutes, even though others got served and given drinks on a new till opened up the other side. Absolute shambles!

I just ordered a cappuccino with 3 white sugar, I asked twice for the sugar... The girl asked the guy preparing the order and he said he added it. However, I can't drink my cappuccino because you couldn't do your job: this coffee has no sugar in it, even after stirring. Good service from the girl bad one from the guy.

Bought a mocha and it was completely undrinkable, tasted like it had been made with dishwater. As it’s a drive-thru and you tend to let it cool a little before drinking it you’re too far down the motorway to make it worthwhile going back.

Shocking!!! Spent 25 mins in queue waiting for coffees. Once in the queue you can't get out due to high kerbs. When eventually got to the service window, saw just 1 person. Not good enough Costa!!! On a Saturday in Aug when roads are packed. 1 person doing all food and drinks, and taking orders is tantamount to staff negligence. And certainly piss poor customer service!

Standing in the queue waiting to order.....no obvious sign of the till at the front of the queue closing.... the older gentleman working in there today at 18:10pm barks at everyone in the queue to join the back of the other queue. Completely rude and uncalled for the way he spoke considering we were only following the signs on the floor. He then continued to raise his voice again at other people who done the same thing again a few minutes later.

Stood in a long queue at the smaller concession to find they do not separate their dairy and non dairy milk jugs. Not very sensible when people have allergies, excuse not enough jugs, sounds like poor management of the equipment they have...

If you love the Costa brand, have issues in leaving the interior of your vehicle, cannot face navigating inside the services & it's car park, or your time is so critical then this will be perfect for you! There is even an overhead LED sign letting you know from a distance if open or closed, but at the time of this review is only open in the daytime, as see the brightly lit red sign when pass by each day on the M5 in the early evening. Being not a fan of drive thrus of any nature, thought best not cloud my judgement, so will give 5 stars due to the concept & praticality of it rather than my personal opinion. Why do I have the feeling though that a large percentage of the cups served from here will end up being strewn along the verges of the M5 and Somerset & Devon's highways!

Date: 12.12 .19 @ 11am. Amazing barista in training , got my order correct first time and actually listened when I asked to have my toast " well done", I usually have to send it back to have it re-done. Also, the young gentleman who made the coffee was extremely attentive , very tasty coffee , thank you 🙂5*

I know it's not Costas fault and they have no ability to control the local farmers... but dam the smell at this motorway services was really bad. Imagine if you will 1000 cows all farting at the same time into your face! The air was so thick with this repulsive smell you could taste the bovine excrement.

We asked for a hot chocolates with marshmallows and cream and asked for the marshmallows to be put into the hot chocolate before the cream was put on. The guy refused!!! "This is how we do it here" he said - and proceeded to serve marshmallows separately! How rude! This is the first time this has ever happened anywhere and Costa need to train their Taunton barista to give the customers what they want. We certainly won't be stopping here on the way back.

Called in last Saturday for 2 coffees and a chocolate cookie-waited around 2o minutes only to be served a 1/2 cup of coffee in one cup (other one was ok) and a cookie that was in pieces (it looked like it had been run over!). 2 others waiting at desk -1 was short of items in her order and the other had been waiting in excess of 40 minutes! Someone else walked out after ordering as couldn’t wait any longer. Called in today for 4 coffees and a hot chocolate using drive thru as thought it would be quicker but slow service and when we got to collection window she said 4 med cappuccino and -hot chocolate then proceeded to give us only the coffees. Come on McDonalds get your act together. Certainly not a fast food outlet!
