Costa : am I surprised? Never been lucky on any of them, so far. Burnt toasted tea cake. Was charged for two coffees; had to go and queue AGAIN for refund. Loads of dirty trays on tables. Staff friendly enough, however, Costa might take care of some additional training. Atmosphere, well that is difficult to assess. Right next to main hospital reception - unpredictable.

It's dirty! It's even more surprising that this point is in a hospital. Apparently this is the English standard.

Absolute shambles. More interested in the times they work.. decided to melt ice early because they are shutting in 30 mins.. not sure if it’s a franchise or not but they should be ashamed of the people they employ.

Zero gluten free options, long queues and the drinks in the fridge are warm. Costa do better.

Costa's at Milton Keynes University hospital is a great place to take a refreshment and food break in the busy out patients area of the hospital. A nice place to get away from the hospital routines of patients coming and going to various departments within the hospital. Costa's staff are friendly and the coffees and teas are a welcome to those who want a rest or are waiting for their appointments. During the weekdays it gets at times very busy, but after 5pm it tends to get a quieter feel until 8pm when Costa's closes for the day. They sell food such as sandwiches and cakes and bottles of soft drinks. They sell toasted sandwiches too that can be heated for you to enjoy. It can get busy in the mornings and around lunchtime with queues ordering and waiting for drinks or hot food.

This has to be the worst Costa in MK. The lady that works on the till here is SO loud. You can be on the far side of the cafe and still hear every word she says, and she is quite abrupt too. Makes for an unpleasant atmosphere in a hospital.

Costa coffee ☕️ makes me feel good and positive! 👍 😌 It's something really magical about sitting down "in your own company" 😉 and having a moment to yourself. Costa experience is priceless, obviously if not "crazy" busy😉 Love yourself!🥰

Low quality food for a extortionist price, £5.80 for a pre-made simple sandwhich. No discount to nhs or blue light staff. Can get a full breakfast in a local cafe for that. Save your money or support the local businesses.

The issue with the place is that the upper management aka COMPASS GROUP have no interest in fixing anything or providing the right amount of staff, it's all about profit from what I've seen. The staff become very stressed and overwhelmed by the workload and end up leaving as a result. Only to be replaced by untrained workers who need training all over again.

Dreadful “customer service”. Staff seem so disorganised and have no manners or ability to interact with customers. They spend most of the time caterwauling among themselves about the inane details of their lives. The fridge is rarely stocked up with barely any selection of items to choose from compared other Costa coffee shops. Takes an inordinate amount of time to get a simple coffee. Horrible place to have to come to but limited options at MK hospital as a regular outpatient.

Typical Costa, good drinks and food, polite staff. Only let down by the confusion on opening hours, one search says they close at 4pm, another says 7.30pm, but the sign on the entrance to the coffee shop says 6pm. They put all the seats on the tables at 4.30pm, so that customers have no where to sit after purchasing their food and drinks.

So I popped in on of chance . A lady and daughter was in there it wasn’t that busy how’s o noticed the daughter was having a seizure, I got help with a nurse cleared tables of hot drinks and put the girl on floor finally first response took a while whilst I stayed with mum and daughter . I was disappointing that none of the staff who worked there did not help in fact I cleaned all drinks moved chairs as the mum was very upset . Another nurse came and helped . I just feel that the was all going on they could have made some sort of deal from this instead of just watching . I hope the girl is now safe xx

3/9/24: VERY impressed today by the hard work and dedication of a young staff member named Jake. As I arrived he'd just been dispatched outside to clean spillages on the table. As I arrived (disabled and walking with a stick) he alerted me to spilt ice cream all over the ground. Once inside and seated I watched in-between conversations with my husband and son as this industrious young man (with his big bowl of soapy water, cloths and mops) cleaned the table spillages, floor spillages, door, handles and even the glass windows that were messy. Upon leaving I congratulated him on his hard work and dedication. You should be rightfully proud of such an employee. Not many employees (in my experience) take so much time and care over a messy and unappealing job. Well done Jake. I hope Costa are proud of you. If not, us customers are!!! Previous feedback: 30/12/23: NOT happy! I arrived at the Costa Drive thru around 1.10pm today. Signs on the ordering point said to drive to the window. I was 4th in queue. After 8 mins I was still 4th. Service was slow. Eventually a car moved off and we shuffled up one. Long story short, I had an appointment to get to for 2pm, the other side of the city. What should have been a quick pitstop was anything but. Sadly, road design means you can't drive off or give up. So eventually when I arrived at the window, around 1.35pm I had no choice but to say I was sorry but had no time to order now and drive off. As I left, the queue (from behind me) now reached onto Breckland. Poor buggers! Thinking back over the last month or two, the wait at this branch has been totally unacceptable for a drive thru. Add to that the fact the coffee is always served red hot/scalding I have now decided I'd rather drive to Great Linford and visit the best Barista in MK - Paulo at their Costa. I read somewhere that MK is to get another Costa drive thru soon. Oh, I do hope so. Hope they are organised, efficient and serve drinkable Coffee. I've used Costa drive thru's all over the country.... including Motorway ones and this branch has the longest queues, the slowest service and the worst coffee (temperature) of ALL of them. Suggest giving them a wide berth! Previous feedback: Busy venue. Service sometimes a bit slow, both in the store and the Drive Thru. Good selection of food (wonderful Biscoff Cheesecake - to die for). Also, more Costa products to buy than a lot of smaller stores. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Toilets cleaner than most. Free parking. Recommended!

If anyone had said the best value for money roast dinner in Milton Keynes was found in the casino, i’d have laughed at you but here we are. We had a great experience a week ago which made us try again to see if it was a fluke and we were not disappointed. For £8 you expect soggy potatos, limp yorkies and questionable meat. No no no, not here. Quality meat, fluffy potatoes, fresh veg and the yorkies are a sight to behold. I’m wary of writing this review as i don’t want to give away this local gem but i thought i’d do you all a favour. A special mention for our server, Renae, who could not have been nicer. She’s attentive, friendly and is an absolute asset to the business, great at her job. Please don’t make this too popular otherwise they might raise the price 😂
