Friendly staff, quite busy on the weekends but nevertheless it is a good spot if you need to do some shopping and grab a coffee in the meantime :)

80% of tables were uncleared, the floor was disgusting. Food scattered all over it. waited ages while they prepared Uber Eats orders ahead of queuing customers

This one is better than some I've been in. Great seating area inside upstairs in Next shop. Clean tidy and, great atmosphere. Toilets are clean being they are in a shop as opposed to just a Costa on its own. Sometimes awful 😖. Overall, very satisfied with staff coffee and , seating area etc.

Love the ham and cheese toasty, love the chocolate cooler drink (they changed the name I never remember it) I think it's a frappe without coffee.

Costa, situated within Next, there is usually good parking .More parking at M&S just further up. Costa is usually packed on Saturdays, in fact basically expect to queue most of the time. Christmas time forget it no parking spaces.

Costa coffee next is far the best Costa in Maidstone ! Management , staff and coffee is always served with politeness and delivered to brand standard! The only thing I would DEFINITELY change is a separate place for babies! Some people are working there, phone or zoom calls , and screaming babies makes it really difficult or interrupting the meeting as simply can’t hear what people say . ( but this is not the staff fault obviously) After all great place to sit in and enjoy the lovely coffee !

Very busy Sunday afternoon. Long queue, but what a wonderful service!! Young lady on the till ,I believe Hanna. She apologised for waiting time ,polite, she had a smile on her face ,no attitude. She did not stop . Well done .

Can't fault the service. Super friendly and helpful. However they definitely need more people making the drinks or more machines because the queues are always massive and only one drink is being made at a time. Unfortunately the last few times I've been here the 'hot' drinks have been lukewarm, you could down them straight away kind of temperature. Verging on cold. I'm not sure if there's a problem with the machine but the temperature is not right. Also the hot chocolate is very watery compared to other Costas. I visited the Costa at Hempstead only a couple of days before and the exact same drink was hot and rich so it's not just how it comes. There's a definite difference in quality. At nearly £10 for two small hot chocolates it was rather disappointing.

Costa Coffee is Costa Coffee, you know what your going to get in terms of food and drink(which I will say is good as always) it’s the rather long que that is a slight inconvenience but nothing nobody can’t handle (at of time of writing my foot is in a brace and it did become slightly painful during so, but otherwise it’s not a problem. I’m fond of the food and drink, especial during this season as the new seasonal menus have been released. As you can see in the photo I am drinking a maple hazel hot chocolate, which is very well balanced and I will be having again. Also the bacon and Brie baguette, which I believe is available all year round, and is tasty as usual. Additionally, the specialist distrust requirement options are few and far between, but this is a problem with the chain rather than the individual branch, I believe we found a packet of crisps and a small brownie for my partner who has a gluten free diet. May go to another costa just because of the que but would definitely go there if I was in the building.

Woeful service. Very slow. Staff would rather chatter amongst each other than provide a decent service. Ordered a medium iced latte and was presented with half full cardboard cup instead of the plastic cups. Won’t be returning.

The young lady serving my toastie was lovely. Can't say the same for the woman with the European accent serving the tea! She served a teapot and I said that I'm very sorry, I needed it takeaway. 🙈 The filthy look she gave me and the stroppy attitude was totally unacceptable! I'm sorry to be such an inconvenience! Terrible customer service. But the young lady was very sweet. For every good one, you get a bad.

Really disappointed with the service. We family of 4 including my 3 year old baby went for dinner. The service we received from the restaurant is very poor. Two lady receptionist don’t know how to behave with customers. They completely spoiled our evening. Never recommend for any family.

Turned up Sunday at 12 for our family Sunday roast booking to be told the kitchen was closed due to health and safety. An email alerting us was sent out at 11.42, after we had left to drive to the restaurant. Very disappointing indeed… won’t be returning.
