Service was pretty shocking. I very rarely rate things this low but it’s rightfully deserved. Looking at other reviews I don’t think I’m on my own here. My latte was given to me and the ingredients poured what seemed like over the glass rather than in it. No small plate, no spoon, no napkin. I don’t blame the staff - I blame the leadership. It feels like they’ve been given broad strokes on what to do and they are just winging it.

Apart from the fact that customers have to remove dishes and clean the tables themselves, it's a nice place.

Today I bought a mocha and expresso coffee.The mocca was awful,it did not have this rich mocca taste but simply lukewarm milk with a spoon of chocolate.It was not hot at all. The coffee machine was dirty and the working surface next to the cashier desk was stained from spilled coffee.Maybe it was accidental but not happy with the experience. I like the other Costa next to Aldi more than that one.

dirty, messy shop, cleanliness and health & safety clearly an issue. staff disinterested, chat away and ignore customers. not great coffee/food quality, there are so many better establishments within yards of this shop.

Ordered coconut hot chocolate. The lady making the drink pulled a big jug from underneath the cups and started to pour. Awful, I did ask another lady who said the drinks should be made fresh. She then proceeded to make me the right drink!!

Messy store, one of the staff that regularly makes the coffee’s is really sloppy and messy, and hygiene is below standards. Their work efficiency is less than satisfactory. They also overfill the coffee cups so you end up spilling your takeaway cup. The sweetener stand is always unhygienic. The lid in the image attached shows how overfilled it is.

Initially, the service was good when the guy took my order and prepared my cappuccino. When I had forgotten to ask for a stirrer, I came back and the guy ignored me completely and didn't even look in my direction when I was right in his direction. I had to hold back and felt annoyed. The other guy couldn't have been bothered to help me. I then repeatedly again asked nicely, he eventually helped me but it shouldn't have been that hard and spoke to me coldly and was not very warm. This was such a let down!

Nice coffee shop in the town centre of Saffron Walden. It was late so there wasn't much choice for cakes but I had the best one of lemon and marmalade. The capuchino coffee with soya milk is free of charge as alternative milk which I appreciate. There was plenty of space and some tables needed to clean a bit but the staff was busy topping up the shelves. Friendly place with nice views.

Saffron Walden is a beautiful place and deserves better than this. The Costa Coffee in the town square was dirty, with tired and worn-out furniture, rude staff - just unpleasant. Luckily Saffron Walden has a wealth of independent Coffee shops and cafes which deserve your custom and are a credit to this beautiful historic town- DO VISIT but give Costa Coffee a miss.

We like the cheese and mushroom toasties...and the cheery staff. No teapots though as all in use..this happens in other branches at busy times. Suggest the powers that be sort this as the huge cups we were given instead are heavy and hard to hold.

Set in the town square that can be seen from the large picture windows, this rather a nice place to sit. Coffee and food was up to the normal Costa standard, that is good but lacks the indivuality of independent coffee shops. I'd happily return.

Understaffed! Typically more busy than usual this Sunday morning yet only 1 guy serving. 2 people in front of me in the queue walked out and feeling a bit antsy myself nearly walked out to. Spent good 10 minutes waiting in queue. Qudos to the guy working hard all by himself though. Food and drink were prepared well and plenty of seats. Just need to be more mindful of busy understaffed periods

Just walked out of this place. I know it's a Saturday and yes it's busy but the place was disgusting. There were vacant tables but they were piled high with crockery as was the sugar and milk area. Walked into another chain just down the road and all the tables were clean!

Very disappointed that you couldn't have toastie during lunchtime as the machine wasn't working. I understand that this wasn't their fault but Maybe they should have put up a sign saying that before we joined the que. Walked out and didn't even bother to get a drink.

Nice refurb, good use of the space. Music was a bit too loud though and through what sounded like knackered old speakers so difficult to listen or engage properly in conversation. Will definitely be visiting again though. Liked the previous Costa, the cortado is a personal favourite, but it was shabby. This is a definite upgrade. Would be a decent place to work on a laptop too. Just bring headphones to drown out the muffled dross.

I popped in here for a drink during my stay at another local hotel that had zero atmosphere! It was busy with a pleasant hum of happy people chilling out. Red wine was tasty with plent of seating. Car park was quite large so wouldn't have though to many issues parking. Convenient for the airport.

The Grill room always has a nice atmosphere. My Mum and I find it to be A La Carte but relaxed which is a nice mix. The food is delicious, we’ve never had a bad meal. I had the Potato Gratin with baby parsnips (vedgy option) this time and it was delicious. The Chef very kindly did my Mum a chicken option, as she couldn’t eat the other options and she really enjoyed it. Presentation and portion size is very good. Reasonably priced for the quality. When we stay at the hotel we always eat in the Grill room and if we were more local we’d eat here more often.
