Hot chocolates tasted horrible and they put chocolate millionaire short bread on my sons vegan cookie (he as a milk allergy) aswell they scan my voucher and never took it off final bill and when we told them about it they just said call Costa customer services. No refund and no apology. They also messed up someone else order and they gave them a refund. Stuff were struggling deal with all the customers. We will be giving Costa coffee in Biggleswade a miss.

A great place for a break from shopping. Friendly and helpful staff and plenty of seating available. Got served quickly. One barista even took the time to have a chat with an elderly gentleman, who seemed to be a regular customer. When there weren't any customers waiting to order. This was lovely to see.

Took my youngest for a takeaway frappe drink and an iced coffee. There were more staff behind the counter than customers in the cafe but they took ages.... Got our order wrong twice then said, after a long wait, they had no skimmed milk for my coffee. We ended up leaving and accepting a wrong order as I couldn't bear to wait around in there any longer. Perhaps they were training up lots of new staff?

Come to the A1 Retail Park Costa regularly but so disappointed today. Arrived at 9.00 am and tables were all dirty and the floor obviously hasn't been swept for a long time. The two very young staff were chatting when I mentioned about a corner that was particularly dirty, and she said 'I'll do it later' then the two of them continued their conversation. Won't be back!

Felt sorry for the costa team who had to deal with multiple rude customers whilst I was waiting, and still managed to treat everyone accordingly.

We went to Costa Biggleswade but we were a bit disappointed as they were quite stingy with the children's marshmallows - only one per child and the caramel Frostini had virtually no caramel taste and then when we mentioned it they reluctantly did another one which had too much caramel and was so sickly we couldn't drink it! Its normally OK here

Very disappointed with my visit today. After ordering a cheese and tomato toasty amongst other things. We got presented with a cheese and mushroom toasty instead. On going to the till the girl did acknowlwdge me and said she would get a repacement one. However everyone in our group had finished their teas and coffees and cake and we were still waiting on the toasty to come out. On returning to the till and asking about the food there was no apology, no would you like another drink to go with the toasty, nothing. They were very busy but a simple sorry we got it wrong would have been nice.

Visit often and all good until you need to use the loo. Come on guys, the floor needs a clean, the toilet seat needs a good wash, the wall by the hand dryer looks like something might grow on it. If the staff are not capable of cleaning it, get a firm in. It's poor and makes you wonder what the cleanliness of the kitchen!

After visiting your new Costa in Biggleswade we are surprised how appalling the cleanliness of the restaurant. Dirty stairs leading to the restaurant Dusty underneath tables base Floors dirty Glass partition had a build up of finger prints, spilgies and other smears on all of the glass. After all the glass is for looking through but we were unable to enjoy the view. We were the first customers at 9.00 they should have been ready for business. If this is the standard in the customer facing areas one would question the hygiene in the food preparation areas. It does not compare other Costa restaurants.

Okay... first off, customer queuing. Reading back the reviews on here this seems to be a recurring problem and one which the manager seems reluctant to either acknowledge or do even get on top of to rectify it. A wait of 10mins or longer seems the norm, and the manager seems more intent on clearing tables and restocking. She is wholly unsuitable to run this branch in my opinion and either needs extra help, training or removal from here. She has two tills and two coffee machines but only ever has one till open and one coffee machine running. Why? She should have both tills running when busy to keep queues down, when not so busy have it as a floating till which remains ready to use if needed. Restocking when not busy, but do try to keep on top of the table clearing. The second issue I have which this branch is the cleanliness of the spoons and knives etc. The lad at the till placed two knives on my tray for the cake we purchased but they were filthy. I asked him to change them and he did but two identically filthy knives. I complained they too were not clean and he insisted it was a fault of the drying process when washed. This is a lame excuse... if the drying is a known issue then sort it out! Don't present customers with dirty cutlery and stupid excuses. Again the manager did not seem too perturbed by the cleanliness of the knives when questioned which must again bring into question how fit she is to be running a branch like that. In its present setup I would definitely urge anyone to avoid this branch of Costa. I have been in many of there branches across England and can safely say this is the first time I have been utterly disappointed at both the level of service and quality of hygiene on display. As a company, Costa needs to seriously look into the complaints of this fairly new branch and address them early.
