Poor service, rude staff and a drink that resembled dish water, I've had better instant coffee at home at a fraction of the cost.

The prices are typical Costa prices. A bit high. However, it doesn't seem to matter which table you choose, it will rock / wobble causing your drink to spill. A lot of the seats are filthy requiring a deep clean, the floor looks like it hasn't been swept in a while and generally doesn't give the impression of a clean store. There's not many people in here yet there is no staff attempting to wipe tables or sweep / clean the mass amount of debris on the floors under tables. Not a great impression.

We have visited this Costa on a number of occasions and have always enjoyed our hot drinks. We usually visit mid-afternoon on a weekday. There are usually plenty of parking spaces available outside, including a couple of dedicated disabled bays near the entrance. The coffee shop itself has usually been fairly quiet when we visit - possibly due to the time of day. Although inside has usually been quiet, the drive thru has usually been fairly busy. The prices are comparable with other similar coffee shops and the drinks were made fairly quickly and tasted delicious. Sometimes there is a bit of a wait to get served at the till. The staff are usually very friendly and apologise for any wait. We tend to order our usual decaf cappuccino and hot chocolate and have always been very happy with our drinks. Unlike some of the other chains, Costa doesn't charge extra for decaf coffee.

Poor communication by the servers and very poor coffee. Grumpy servers . But I guess we only spent £12 on coffee so not worth the customer value

Of the available tables only one or two were in a clean state. Others were covered in dirty cups and plates and crumbs covered some of the tables and floors-it resembled a chimps tea party! We and others had to pass many dirty tables before we could find one which was just about acceptable to sit down. Next time we will walk straight out! Eventually a member of staff came around to clear the tables of crockery but with no attempt to wipe down the tables or clean up the floor. Costa you can take some tips from McDonalds on how to keep the premises in a constant clean and tidy state. Behind the counter was stacked up with dirty crockery which looked as if nothing had been cleaned for hours. This premises situated in the Talbot Green is a busy place and we customers deserve better.

Don’t get me wrong the atmosphere of the people there is nice and like a typical cute coffee shop. However this one worker who believes she’s boss (wether she is or not she shouldn’t act THAT superior to the others) this particular woman kept slamming and banging all the cups, coffee stuff and lids everywhere making me quite uncomfortable. Furthermore let’s discuss my drink. Or therefore lack of. I had ordered the new (at the time) ‘blueberry burst bubble tea’ and let me tell you , that was the most underwhelming drink I have ever had in my life and forgot to mention the worker didn’t even ask if I wanted a small or a medium and just charged me for a medium coming at £4.20. The drink lacked any flavour whatsoever, could’ve popped to Aldi and bought black currant squash which would’ve tasted way nicer. It was advertised as a type of iced boba instead it was a luke warm cheap fruit tea (probably from Aldi). No Ice, no flavour and no straw for me to drink the bubbles, what did they expect me to do? Very disappointed in this Costa. Can’t say I’d be returning again. Also alongside this, no effort to clean the tables as you can see in the pictures.

Really disappointed with my last hot chocolate, ordered through the drive way. I called into Costa on 23 December, after I finished my shopping. I had 1 free drink on my card. I ordered in the drive through. I was so disappointed that the drink I had was lukewarm and tasteless. The chocolate had no taste. I took it back, and they gave me another tasteless hot chocolate, this time the drink was hot. Still tasteless. I did tell the girl it was tasteless and she just didn't listen......

This place is awful. The tables are rarely cleared. The WiFi hasn’t worked for at least a year and the coffee is very weak. The only thing going for it is the parking and now you have to register your vehicle to avoid a charge. I hope someone from Costa is reading this because there is no effective management in this outlet.

Hi I’m trying to contact the owner. I had a great coffee with a friend and stayed for 1hr 45mins but I didn’t realize there was a limit apparently but now I’m learning there’s a machine by the till you have to sign into for longer parking. I wasn’t told this and I just received a £100 fine. Please can you cancel this I want to visit costa again but this will definitely put me off. Parking ticket ref: 307141/927966 I can remove this post after. Thanks It’s was very early in the morning the barista was super smiley and welcoming but she should of warned me. There were only 5 or 6 people in there

So since my last review I have complained on numerous occasions about the lack of Wi-Fi here and guess what? Jack all has been done about it. July 2022 was the 1st Wi-Fi complaint now it is October 2023 and we get a sign stating no Wi-Fi. Well kiss goodbye to my small meetings in this area now. Any customer that feels Costa is value for money is deluding themselves. No Wi-Fi for people on business routes. What a joke. Earlier review - Please don't get me wrong. I come here quite often with my wife but come on Costa sort out the dirty tables, trays, left all over the place. Why do we the customers have to clean, remove and hand over dirty plates, cups and trays.

I met an old friend at 6.30pm for a catch up. The cafe closes at 9pm. On entry part of the area was closed off with chairs placed at the exit of the counter making you walk back past the queue. There were also chairs placed on some tables limiting the choice of seats. We assumed there was a staff shortage as one of the barristas started cleaning the floor about 7.30 even though there were more customers coming in. We were served quickly and pleasantly but were concerned by the lack of staffing

Same as other reviews, they often close before the time shown online and on the front of the door, which is frustrating. Not sure why but I've gone there before closing time at least 3/4 times now and they've already stopped serving. Aside from that, service is always friendly and it's a Costa, so decent food/drinks at a big price!

I give this amount of stars due to the Forest cafe in Tongwynlais a disappointment. Overpriced for what you get. Which is poor to boot!! If we look at a tomato you will get one 5th of a slice. 9 piece's of crisps poor looking lettuce, sorry that would be 7 very small to say the least. The tables had not been cleaned under the tables had not been cleaned. The best part was looking at Xmas paintings on the windows..........and it's July??? The entire place needs a complete refurb, clean and look at how the presentation is being shown. Expand the kitchen layout. This is not to be negative but to constructive in what has been shown. If you want people to come then show a little more enthusiasm when speaking to customers. Having younger staff created lower pay which gives less enthusiasm from staff. Poor to say the least. Quite simply tidy up inside before you open. Clean the windows clean the floors. I have been to enough cabins which sell food and drinks to know what it should look like. Rustic but tidy. Presentation of food not one tomato equals 5 separate plates. Please wake up and put some effort into your establishment. I would like to come back.

Friendly Costa cafe. Seats weren't as comfortable as they could be, certainly didn't encourage you to linger. Coffee was good and the M&S food is an added bonus. Lack of WiFi was a disappointment as the phone signal isn't good in that location. No excuse for it to be out for any length of time really.

On a Saturday, the time on the door says closing at 21h00. I walk in at 20h05 having had a long drive from France then across the UK. I'm staying at the Premier Inn next door. Young man says takeaway only. No problem, happy to do that. Stroppy young lady shouts "we're closed". Excuse me? "We're closed". But your colleague said takeaway, it is currently 20h05, your door says 21h00. "That is drive through only". Fine, I will walk through the drive through. "That is cars only". Really? Sick of a teenager copping an attitude (I can get that at home), I left. Tempted to drive back through in my car and see what is the objection now. But alternative outlets from other companies are available. Teenagers would do well to learn that their attitude directly affects custom. Frankly, I would not hire the young lady for my business as that is not the face I present to my customers. Just a modicum of politeness would not have hurt. Excuse me sir, we're closed but essentially telling me to clear off doesn't cut it. Shame because Costa's product is pretty good - HR needs to look at procedures. Also, decide what are your opening hours and communicate that to staff. Perhaps related to teenage angst, the Costa website has a broken link to their customer contact form. Kind of sums them up, doesn't it. They know they can get away with it.
