Friendly service at point of sale, needs tables cleaned and cleared more regularly. Always seems a little disorganised. No dining in cups/mugs, only takeout mugs available which is an obvious cutting of costs.

A coffee break whilst on a hospital appointment. I was very pleased with my flat white and plain croissant which the assistant kindly warmed for me.

Friendly crew but even when it's quiet the service is a bit slow. It would run much smoother if they called out an order number

This is the first time I have eaten in here. I was so disappointed. They had no large cups (on the hottest predicted day so far), they do not give you plates for food & as a blue light card holder, they give no NHS discount. They are supplying within a hospital! The tables where dirty with food, the floor was dirty as well and the staff where very busy serving to be able to clean up. COSTA pls get in here and help these guys serving & sort these problems. The small things make a difference.

Open long hours and always popular in the hospital. We come in every Sunday morning for vegan sausage baps and drinks. They always have a good stock of food (unlike some other Costas!) They are very quick unless it's a particularly busy day

Tables always filthy , always understaffed so shuts early , coffee is hit and miss - shame as much needed refuge for colchester hospital workees and visitors. sort it out Costa lotta! Update tables still filthy and hardworking staff and one standing around on mobile phone and asked him to clean tables - he said which one and I said all that are dirty. He filled sugars up and left the station filthy and went back to doing nothing whilst other staff work hard. Appalled sort it out Costa and Lazy staff whilst others work their socks off!

Quick, efficient and friendly staff. Coffee was as expected from Costa. Not a massive fan of the chicken and chorizo pannini I had as the chicken was in small pieces and quite dry, could barely taste chorizo. Mum loved her ham and cheese toastie though. £18 for two coffees, two sandwiches and two packets of crisps is steep, but I guess that's today's climate. Would be a three but an extra star because of the staff.

For a company with coffee in its name it should at the very least not serve sour, burnt coffee. The one I just had was dreadful. I would have said something, but didn't want to miss my hospital appointment.

Unbelievably slow. I went to this Costa a few years ago when it opened and service was deathly slow. Today I went again, as an outpatient, and service was just as slow. I thought it had been just a case of staff training, and that it would get better. But nope! Even recognised one of the staff, and he's no better. Today I waited 15 minutes and gave up. I had an appointment to get to. I didn't ask for a refund. It would probably have taken them another half hour to do it. There were still 4 people in front of me! Disgusting service in an area where staff and patients have little time to spare.

Myself and my sister were served by a lovely girl called Sam, we were in Costa waiting for our mum to come out of surgery and stayed there for 4hours! We did buy food and a consistent stream of tea. Sam came over and said wow your still here, we explained that we were waiting for mum and she was so lovely said stay as long as you need, there was no pressure. We explained that we had promised a costa coffee and tea for when she woke up. When we went to leave and buy the srinks for mum, Sam had spoken to her manager and gt them for us for free! Sam is an angel disnt need ro do that but that is why i will go back again for the amazing service and fact we were never pressured out. Thank you Sam xx

Dissappointing food. Uninspired. Not freshly cooked. Chicken (Tikka M.) and Lamb (Curry) pieces dry like a rock. Hard to chew. Sauce flat, unimpressive. Fried rice tastes old. That all tastes like you guys gave up a while ago. Come on, you should know better. Don't deliver what you don't enjoy to eat yourselves. Wake up please.

I do love Lexden Crown for the atmosphere, polite staff and delicious food. The garden is beautiful too and perfect for a summer's evening. In addition, the interior is full of character and has the kind of comfortable furniture I like (a stylish country pub look with a modern twist). The owner has great taste! Location is also very good with a free car park if you register your car. Highly recommended! First class!

Great allergy awareness. Checked everything I wanted to purchase for my allergy and made sure everything was cleaned down before making my coffee! Very impressed, not had this service before when buying a coffee out. Very reassuring. Thank you! 👍
