I normally get toogoodtogo bags and so far my experience has been good. The server is normally nice and everything is done quickly. The bags are normally great (some toasties and Confectionary) and they care to ask about allergies. Never had any of their drinks though.

PLEASE PLEASE DONT ORDER ANYTHING FROM HERE my mum, nan and I came here earlier today to grab drinks for a short road trip we had planned (2 americanos and 1 peach ice tea) less than an hour later my grandparents and mum complained about the taste saying how it tasted off and burnt, i had a sip myself and in the weirdest way did taste like burnt coffee beans? the worst tho was an hour later on the road when my mum started feeling nausious and proceeded to throw up multiple times whilst driving. we are safe and my mum is doing okay now but genuienly I was so scared for my mum's safety. my grandfather also complained about having an upset stomach after finishing his drink but as far as I'm aware nothing extreme has happened. we KNOW my mum was sick from this coffee because we had breakfast earlier and water from home and we were both completely okay then. besides that there was also messy tables: coming from someone who worked at starbucks, I know how busy these places can be but HYGIENE must be made a main priority than anything else please, dont come here even for convenience

My visit to Colchester Tesco Costa Coffee was made truly exceptional thanks to the remarkable service provided by Lisa and Kate. Not only were they incredibly friendly and efficient, but their excellent allergen knowledge and understanding were truly impressive. They took the time to ensure that my coffee was prepared with careful attention to my allergies, making me feel safe and well-cared for. Lisa and Kate's commitment to customer satisfaction, combined with their allergen expertise, made for a fantastic experience that I'll certainly cherish. I can confidently say that they are an invaluable asset to the team, and I'll be returning to enjoy their exceptional service and allergen awareness in the future.

Really wanted to give this place a shot but the first time I went the person who was touching the rubbish then went to hand me my food and the second time my coffee was burnt. I don’t think cleanliness is the top priority here.

Ideal and convenient location for me and my partner to go to. Food always seems fresh but feel the prices seem on the high side for what they offer. Service always seems friendly enough but can feel a little slow if they are busy or short staffed, Overall the atmosphere is nice and what you would expect.

It is 3’oclock and she insists to me they are doing only takeaways and I tell her I want to sit in because it’s not yet closing time anyway. And she is like we are only two staffs and we can’t be cleaning after you, that’s stale honestly.

No smile, no welcome, no customer service skills. Two older female staff who just didn't seem to want to be there. Didn't offer us size options for drinks or if we were take away etc, asked for gluten free options for cakes and the female server unhelpfully just patted a random section in front of her. Awful service. Poor guy making the coffees was working non stop, but also seemed so nervous of getting things wrong that he couldn't stop, but he seemed friendlier. Young girl came on shift drinking her coffee openly in front of everyone and proceeded to have personal chatter with her colleagues where we could all hear! For the price of the coffee, we would've have a warmer welcome at Greggs!!! 👍🤣

Apparently it's meant to be like. That told me I was being rude when I said okay fine ill do it myself. And then said I'm gonna have to ask you to leave!

The hot chocolate was terrible, service was terrible and every table in the place was dirty! We went inside and ordered hot chocolates. They didn't ask us wether its to take away or not. When they called out the two hot chocolates they were in take away plastic cups and I had to go get them and in apprx 10 minutes they announced they are closing the place. This should've been announced before the order.

There are a serious form of discrimination. My experience was very bad this afternoon. The clerk's attitude was very poor. She didn't ask me to take it away or have in, but I emphasized have in twice. She insisted on told another clerk use take away cup for coffee. After that, I found that other customers can use the glass in the store. This is discrimination. I am Asian, Chinese. I am a student at Essex. I always like costa, but I don't know why.

The Coffee was tasty, however, I am on a strict diet. A friend of mine went in and ordered a plain Iced coffee with nothing in it except for sugar-free caramel. Instead some sort of dairy was added to it. Not very happy about this as a coffee should know how to listen, understand, and make the drinks how it is requested not how the barista thinks you should have it.

It's OK for a quick takeaway drink, but I hate sitting in. The staff are pretty useless, they start cleaning down the seating area far too early, and the place is filthy. On one visit I was sat at a table, having a drink and chatting with an old friend when a member of staff decided to start hoovering around us. The final straw came when she asked us to move our legs so she could hoover under our table! What's worse is the heat and vomit smell coming from the hoover was vile and nauseating. They weren't due to shut for another 2hrs, so I don't understand what she was doing! I'd much rather use Harris & Hoole at the other local Tesco..

Been to this coffee place loads of times. But have no decided to give it a miss and go to the coffee place at the Highlands Tesco store. My reason for this is what looks like ingrained dirt on the tea trays and the staining on cups and other crockery. They may have been clean but look really bad. This place isn’t cheap and one would expect at least a decent standard. They could do with new trays and crockery. Also the tables could do with being cleared and cleaned more often as one has so frequently having to clear a table before sitting down. Good coffee though!

Ordered drinks and a toastie, got to the table and both spoons we were given were dirty. Took them back to the counter and asked for two clean spoons as these are dirty! The staff member said "we are busy" I said that's no excuse for dirty cutlery! He then said well, I've not had time to wash up properly with an angry tone. All the staff member needed to say was sorry and give two clean spoons instead of answering back. Left a bad feeling and we left early.
