Costa Coffee in Wealden

Watch out for parking fines for using their car parks I had a coffee there and decided to stay for a second coffee. I have now been issued with a £100 parking fine. I parked directly outside the Costa Coffee in their car park which was almost empty at the time. I spent 1 1/2 hrs there buying their coffee. Never again. Be very careful.

Nice costa, with longer opening hours, I would improve the cleaning of the tables. Weekends are very very busy. The food is often very dry and the one hour parking is not long enough

Don't see much table wiping being done these days 🙄

Cool little pit stop handy for M&S and B&M on A272 near Maresfield.

Atmosphere it cozy, staff are lovely and food and drinks are delicious! Highly recommend.

20+ minutes to get a drive-thru coffee this morning. Shan’t be coming back anytime soon.

£60 parking fine for being in the car park for over 1 hour ! What a joke ! What’s the point in being able to eat in if you only have one hour ! ! Never going there again !

With Costa you always know exactly what you’re getting. Everything about this one is the same.

Efficient Costa, clean and tidy and up to the usual standard.

They don’t do a white frappe on their menu but I asked if they could and they did. They easily could of said no but I appreciated them making it especially for me. It tasted great and I will hopefully get it again!

Had a cup of tea, well that's what they said it was. Never again, and I would highly recommend you steer well clear of these over priced con merchants.

Nice place and very friendly staff, quick service

Drive through costa. 1 hour parking only! few minutes over and you'll be fined. Should be drive through only. pointless having seating here the only intention of their seating is to lure you in and fine paying customers. AVOID.

Another Costa under our belts. Great friendly atmosphere from staff. Very similar layout to the one in Hampden Park near Eastbourne, just not as much food options. Drive thru aswell, good to know if just passing through.

I don't like Costa coffee too much normally. However, this place was pretty good. Despite being by a shopping centre car park it was nice sitting outside in the sun. The huge coffee was tasty and just what I needed at the time. The cake was nice too.

Great location, super friendly staff who deliver the usual, high quality latte and the quintessential sausage sandwiches with brown sauce! How can life be better??? Simply said, it can't! 😊

Got to be careful of the shady car park scam here, they’ll be on you like a Doberman after nuts if you overstay, staff at costa have even taken to warning people as they come in for coffee

This is not a complaint about the staff who work here they are all lovely. However, DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU WANT TO WORK!!!! This used to be one of my favourite spots to get coffee on the way to and from school with me coming in most days for the past 3 months. One day I decided to do some work after school and only parked for an hour and 15 minutes while there were plenty of spaces in the parking lot only to be met with an extortionate parking charge of 100£ when my stay was less than 90 mins!! Honestly I’m disgusted by this company for how they treat incredibly loyal customers and safe to say will never be returning!

Lovely coffee and snacks, great service, friendly staff. Have to now be aware of time constraints on parking at Costa, Maresfield. Remember only 1hr parking or use ipad at Costa counter to extend time for another hr.

PARKING FINE!!. Went there for supposedly relaxing coffee on a Sunday. Received a £100 parking fine - reduced to £60 on a Sunday!!!! in an industrial estate. It seems a bit excessive. Maybe its my ADHD or male blindness, but I cannot recall any parking meters /signs outside. I wont go back in a hurry. I would have swallowed/accepted it @ £35 with no fuss.

Delighted with the coffee strength and hot chocolate. Bacon rolls were very tasty ,hot and quick to be prepared. Very helpful, friendly staff. If you are over there shopping, Costa is a highly recommended, comfortable, coffee stop.

Excellent Costa in a handy position on the A22, consistently good drinks as with most 'proper' branches.

OK, service. Standard Costa. Toasty and panini were fine. We managed to get discounted toasty and panini due to an end of day reduction, which made it a greater value for money.

Best costal coffee shop 😋 got a drive through as well

Staff are brilliant at this store. It’s busy but always get served so much quicker than any other Costa!

Love the fact this one is the first drive thru in the area.

Costa seems to have gone downhill over the past year or so. Maybe it's the go woke go broke phenomenon.

Went in to get lunch today, was met with a nice lad on the till which i didn’t catch his name, he was taking my order completely fine as you would normally, then we moved over to wait and we were waiting a few minutes longer than normal but then the manager rudely spoken to him infront of everyone asking him why we were still waiting and then he replied and she very rudely mocked him. 10/10 service for the lad with black curly hair However the manager needs to know her audience

Toilet filthy needs a good thorough clean, toasted sandwich not toasted cheese not melted

Helpful and friendly staff. Great coffee

Cappuccino was disgusting and tasted of burnt beans. Would have complained but there was a queue. Will not return.

Pleasant staff. Do a great extra dry cappacino.

Got served my normal coffee with 2 sugars had a sip and my god the tip of my tongue was burnt no warning at all the young man then had a sip and told me it was luke warm at best. So I believed him then burnt myself again will be back next week 👍

On my way to Eastbourne and decided to stop in Costa for a rest and to get some real business work done on my real business laptop there was a short brown hair blue eyes boy named Rine when he handed me my coffee our hands touched a little and I knew it was love I'm back home now thinking about him and hoping my wife and kids don't read this but Rine please reach out to me ♥️

It was just a normal Tuesday morning at 9.32 am on the 24/10/23 and I thought hey is that a Costa coffee over yonder let’s give that ago. as I walked in I was getting a stared at by cute boy I can’t remember his name but he 5,2ft brown hair and blue eyes I think.but anyway coffe tasted very bad wish I went to Greggs and got a coffe and a suassge roll for 2.70 absolute steal any who there a lot of angry men out side in the morning.gonna pop in on the 9ths to see if he’s there gonna try get some digits wish me luck ☺️❤️

Brilliant customer service. They’re always so polite. Also made sure I use any codes I may have on my Costa app. Thank you!!

Can’t really give any stars a Costa is a Costa However just for the heads up now opens at 7 am which probably is due to staffing as a busy drive through looks clean and tidy but drive through 5-30 am and restaurant 7am

Service is much better but very busy as they are building an M&S next door ...

This was a pleasant place for coffee, the staff were friendly and helpful. It was quite expensive and I do think that the food and coffee are not as good as they were.

Thought we'd drop in here for lunch as thought it would be quiet, and it was. Got my free slice of cake as part of the Costa App and lunch and drinks were good. Very little time to wait and plenty of seating and parking.

UPDATE - This store closes half an hour before they are due to on the door and here on Google. This is unacceptable! 😡 Just downgraded you to one star! Coffee great and staff super helpful, but been down periodically over the past month or so, every visit, drive throu only, last time we queued for 30 minutes. Costa need to sort out their staff/technical issues.

Go here all the time. It is a peaceful and calm place to have coffee and chat with family.

Maresfield closed 15 minutes before declared closing time. No effort made to help. Not impressed.

Don't advertise you're open until 6 on a Sunday if you're going to be closed at 5:20

Best drive through experience ever. Liv was so friendly and polite and happy it really boosted our day. Thanks all Coffee great too.

Nice lunch all clean and tidy would recommend for a snack and break

Food is a bit overpriced but the service was good as was the coffee

Friendly staff, great service and great location

Great coffee and plenty of room to sit. Easy access. Enough parking.

They have some really wonderful staff who have been very helpful when I have been in with my children and of course they make the best coffees. Thank you!!

Convenient friendly Costa. Exactly what you'd expect it to be, except frequently overrun by the number of staff verses customers of the drive thru and sit in space. Clearly, never enough staff and too many mistakes with orders. Could do better I am sure with some management help.

Lovely place we visit at least 4 times a week lovely friendly staff enjoyable experience 😊

The usual coffee selections, staff were very accommodating to allow for some desk work to be done at the table.

M&S prawn sandwich and a cappuccino, usual Costa coffee.

Visit here a lot I should move into the car park! I am a costa addict! Coffee is well made and staff are friendly and helpful too many to mention and I really should learn there names! Although be warned this store will try to scam you for 50p for any syrups on free drinks

Went here with my friend Lady Penelope, we both were very impressed with Katie, she was Very patient as I kept changing my mind, I actually assumed she was the manageress as she was so attentive. Many thanks.

My friend and I, Lady Penelope went here the other day and was served by Katie who i thought was the manager as she was so attentive, i kept changing my mind and she was so patient. Thank you so much.

I generally like Costa and this location is quite a good spot when driving by for work visits/commuting or generally wanting to meet up with some friends. I’m not local. 4 out of 7 visits I have encountered some sort of technical issues where they either aren’t open, the drive-thru is open but the shop is shut or the shop is open but the drive-thru is shut. It’s just Sod’s Law that when I’m passing through and want to use the drive-thru they are shut or when I’m with friends and we want to catch up in the shop to get warm they have been shut. There’s not much consistency going on there lately so we now don’t bother going in that direction as we just don’t know if it will be open or functioning. It’s such a shame.

Cheerful and polite team, nice quick service and very clean.

I had a 'salted caramel latte' on Saturday. It a) didn't taste anything like salted caramel, b) had a very odd taste- certainly tasted off and c) made me very sick with an upset stomach. I certainly will not be returning

Used the drive thru a few times. Certainly the least consistent in terms of quality and the slowest Costa I use.

We were well looked after, and the drink was very cool as requested and food warm.

Sort it out. Many times been there and closed early or just drive through

Fast and friendly service at the drive through

Opening times as follows. App states 0530. Google states 0600 Actually whenever they feel like it. Fancied a nice coffee, went at 0610, store closed but drive thru open. I was in a coach, drive thru not an option. Walked around to the window but was refused service due to 'Health and safety', even tho i was there and no other cars were around. Two staff on duty but couldn't be bothered to open and wouldn't serve me.

Nice. Clean. Friendly staff. Good hot chocolate.

Best location Best in-store and drive thru experience great staff but most of all Best cup of coffee

Drink was good, drive thru screen don't work, was a bit confused if I should wait! As my first Costa drive thru experience was a bit disappointing!

Frequently closed to sit inside.....drive thru usually quite busy ... always under staffed
