Too many people sitting by themselves on tables for 4 working on their laptops so nowhere for others to sit down.

Visited recently as we were in the area. Its a Costa which I think you either love or Hate as like most chains they are all similar and provide the same range which is reasonable. This particular outlet we visited on a warmish day so decided to sit outside. We took our coffees and cakes and sat very comfortably in the sun looking across the car park. It was pleasant until we goy invaded by a seagull that swooped down taking half of one of the cakes and the folk. So beware if visiting of sitting outside. With regard to the business the staff it was ok and usual Costa pricing so nothing we didn't expect. Staff were a bit slow and not very friendly but efficient. Wood I go again Yes it was clean.

first time visiting a costa in Hampden park the server Tamara was very polite and chill she explained to me the drinks as i was finding hard to choose a drink she recommended the chocolate fudge brownie frappe which i had had previously a while back and it wasn’t prepared to the standards but what she made was 10/10 honestly looks like she has alot of experience definitely will come back and try again

Drive in at Hampden Park is a nice new building. Good quality coffee and tea as usual in Costa. Staff member was helpful and friendly. This Costa has gone downhill since it was opened. The toilets are disgusting, one is out of order more often than not and the other one is filthy. This needs addressing ASAP.

Been in here twice now, both times my partner and I were served by the same person. Both times he was rude and just seemed like he didn't want to be there. I understand it's a stressful job and he probably doesn't want to be there, but it made my partner and I feel like we weren't welcome at all. It felt like we were getting in his way just by asking for 2 drinks. He got our order for the first drink, put it through the till, then as my partner started asking for his drink, the staff member turned away and talked to someone else. When we asked where to scan my Costa card, he said nothing, just looked grumpy and tapped the scanner. When we went to pay, he didn't even tell us our total, and just tapped the card machine. He didn't smile once. Every other member of staff there seemed relatively smiley and friendly but he was just plain rude. Disappointing that both times I've been there, I've been served by him. It's a pretty standard Costa in terms of food; quite pricey but the drinks were nice enough. Very loud though; not even any music playing and yet my partner and I had to shout at each other just to hear each other.

I use the Hampden Park Costa drive -thru’ regularly and the usual guy serving is lovely, helpful and leaves me with a smile but todays chap serving on the intercom & at the serving hatch (approx 2.49pm) messed up all our orders, didn’t write on the lids what they were until we asked and another assistant had to tell him what they were & didn’t use the drop-down serving tray to give us our food & drinks so my partner had to struggle to lean out the car to get them. We had to ask for a cup holder. He gave me cream and not my partner which was the wrong way around and a plain hot chocolate rather than a Terrys Chocolate hot chocolate for my partners son, which we’d pay for! We’d driven down the bypass before we realised and on the way to our afternoon out. Very disappointing. He wasn’t engaged at all. Usual guy is one of the reasons I go there (higher pitched voice guy) Not a good experience today Costa. Sort it out :(

Ordered a vegan sausage sandwich from this store and it was cooked in the oven with my fathers cheese toastie, on the same tray. While eating I noticed the bottom had spots of cheese on it.

Can't comment on the inside of the place as both times I've gone to go in it's been shut due to staffing issues. It's in a really convenient location with garages nearby so it should be the perfect place to sit and wait whilst your car is repaired but as mentioned both times I've arrived with the intention to do this it's been drive thru only which you can't do without a car! I got a flat white once in the drive thru... it was okay. More expensive than some Costas.

I had a cup of tea which was just like dishwater. I let it brew for aged but cheap tea bags no colour and no taste at all. I never normally go there because of the ridiculous prices. Costa. Why don't you at least buy decent tea that tastes like tea. Wasted my Money on this.

The staff are always amazing, helpful and polite. But the management is awful. They frequently don't have ingredients, or cups or this or that. I honestly don't remember the last time I actually managed to get what I went in there for. I get a feeling the staff are overworked and underpaid, as they are alway flat out but rarely have more than 2 in there at a time. Yet again a large company run by people that dont care, working the lower workers to the bone. Such a shame.

Twice in the space of a month, but not consecutively, we queued up at the drive thru only to be told "sorry we don't have any decaf available" , today we were also told "don't know when it'll be delivered either just whenever"! Not good enough Costa. Whoever does the ordering for decaf coffee clearly isn't ordering enough and if its an automated ordering service then the manager needs to make a phonecall.

There was coffee on sink and floor and the toilet in one had not been cleaned. It's a shame because this in my experience has not been the norm

Lovely location and well designed Costa. The coffee is always good. That's the best bit unfortunately. The service is very slow as the staff talk to each other and give priority to drive through customers. The tables are littered with used cups and plates.

Appalling place. Either the main cafe or the drive thru is closed or not operating to the times it advertises as open. Nobody seems to care either. All you get from the staff is "it's not our fault" (which it probably isn't), and nobody wants to take responsibility. All that money spent on a new drive through and they couldn't run a bath, let alone a coffee shop. Shame on Costa. What makes it worse is that there is no way to actually TALK to someone with any seniority. Utterly useless.

Really wish this costa would learn how to make their drinks to the correct mix, ordered a caramel frappe with coffee, having worked for costa i know how they should taste and be made. Ordered through drive in so didn't try till I got home. Not the correct caramel syrup, ice or milk mix, and way too strong on the coffee taste

Been a couple of times now, no improvement. Food all over floor, tables not clean, no sugar etc.. at the condiments stand, which was also piled with rubbish. Staff complaining about customers in ear shot of the customers (at least wait until their gone) ,And wrong drinks made at drive through ( didn't realise until half way down the road), very slow service. I think next time I'll just use the coffee machine at the garage across the road. Sad because as someone who used to work on the retail park, it was something that was long looked forward to - just go to Sharron's instead.

The women on the till isn’t interested in serving you, would much rather talk to the other staff about their holiday plans. Stood and wanted to be served for 5 minutes with a basically empty coffee shop only for her to go oh yeah & turn around and serve us. Dirty tables… staff literally want to be somewhere else. Coffee was rubbish. Better off travelling to town

Of all the Costa's in the area this one makes the best coffee. Yes I know they are all supposed to be the same but we all know they aren't. The coffee is well worth a slight detour for even if you are closer to another branch. Highly recommended if you like Costa.

Yet again eat in closed due to staff illness. I’m sure it’s the same note they put in the window every time. Seems to happen weekly. Also been in for a drink and was told might be better to get takeaway as they close soon. It was an hour before closing time so they like to try and close early as well! Such a shame as it’s a nice large store, plenty of seating in and out as well as parking. One of the easiest to visit in the area. Just need to sort staffing levels out. Like others have said, sometimes a long wait for your drink and un-cleared tables. Management need to get a grip.

Visually attractive branch of Costa Coffee, comparatively recently opened. Nice seating outside with only a limited 2 parasols for a hot sunny day. Busy when we were there.

Food is always good value and, mostly tasty. Some staff are excellent, others not so good, but are attentive. If you want a good value meal, without worrying about other customers, I'd throughly recommend it.
