Just had a drive through. Staff were too busy chatting and singing to get my order correct, or provide proper service. M all for a happy work force but my coffee was Tasteless and terrible service. Really disappointed.

I am a regular customer at this Costa, and have always found the staff to be friendly and helpful, the service is always quick and efficient. Today service was slow after placing my order. I discovered this was caused by a male who assumed was management demanding numerous different drinks were made for him. My assumption being as a quality control. Not a good show making customers wait. Mr manager, you did not create a good impression.

£9 for coffee and a wrap, then a £100 parking fine for spending too long in the car park.. not cheap!

Got absolutely shafted. Being stung for parking there for 4 hours. After having 3 rounds of coffee with my sister who I hadn’t seen for years. Thanks Costa I’ll be sure to go there again. ( don’t get this at Starbucks).

I found this shop to be dirty and grubby. The toilets were not good either especially as there was no soap and the hand drier was not working. Even the staff couldn’t wash their hands properly! Not a enough staff so long queues inside the shop.

I am not a great fan of Costa's coffee blend, but it seems many like it; it's personal preference so there's no right/wrong. The toilet is almost always in need of a clean-up which is a criticism of every Costa branch I have visited. Coffee is more expensive at Costa than the three alternatives only a few hundred yards away, but you do get a nicer seat if its not busy, and proper cups and saucers if you prefer to pay for that level of service.

Staff are friendly and helpful me and my sister love to have a treat of hot chocolate with the full works of cream and marshmallows it was so nice to get asked if we wanted the marshmallows in our drink as normally they are on the side and they do not have enough time to melt and that's the best ! So thank you Costa 😃

The staff are pleasant enough but the cafe was dirty, tables and chairs wobbly. I lost half my cuppa when I sat down. The cafe wasn’t busy when I stopped by, but it felt cramped and grubby with terrible music playing. The manager looked as dishevelled as the cafe. Not a enjoyable experience, I guess as a drive-thru they don’t care about the interior.

I ordered my coffee before I left my house via click and collect. Left early to beat local traffic on Monday morning. Turn up to a sign on the door to say no staff but drive thru still open. Had no choice having paid for the drink already to sit in a really slow queue. Told woman over the tannoy that I’ve ordered via C&C. I pulled up and I’m immediately given the drink I ordered 15 mins ago which is now like warm at best. I have asked to see if it’s hot and why they would make it knowing I’d have to sit in the drive thru queue - to be told ‘we have to make it as soon as we receive the order’ clearly common sense does not prevail here. Got a load of attitude from the woman in there and now sat in traffic late for work - thanks Costa! . I’ll go Mac Donald’s next time for a coffee half the price and done properly. Pull your socks up. Not acceptable. Hope management sees this and irons out some attitudes and hires some decent staff!

Far too regularly you now just get a cup of hot milk with a tiny hint of coffee. It's clear only one or maybe two of the staff actually care about making a nice cup of coffee. The dude who is on mornings is the absolute worst. It's not hard to steam some milk and pour it into a cup properly. Steaming and then going to do a thousand other things (whilst you destroy the milk) is the culprit.

Seating looked comfy tho I was just grabbing a take away coffee from inside (not drive through). Ordered flat white as I like a strong coffee but this transpired to be a cup of hot coffee-flavoured milk with some froth on the top. The cup is too big for flat white. Costa, you need to train your barista better and get stronger coffee!

Stopped for quick coffee and snack. Hugely long wait despite hardly any customers here. No apology for the long wait. The place is filthy! No tables cleared, food all over the floor. Disgusting. No napkins. Will not visit again. One assumes they only really care about their drive through customers.

It's a very nice coffee ☕but if you like me and have to use a mobility scooter you can't get across the road unless you ride through the shell garage and around the road which is very dangerous as the traffic cannot see you!!! All because there is no drop curb between the the garage and Costa coffee.
