Got the order wrong. Sent a mocha instead of hot chocolate on 1 of the drinks. Ended up being a waste of money. 2 drinks and still managed to get one of them wrong. Will not use again and will recommend to friends and family to avoid.

I recently revisited this Costa Coffee after six months, and I was impressed by the consistently high standards that made this visit just as enjoyable as my last. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming, with a clean and well-maintained environment that really adds to the experience. It’s clear that the team prioritises cleanliness and presentation, making it a comfortable spot to relax or work. The staff at this Costa deserve a special mention—they’re exceptionally well-organised and attentive, creating a sense of seamless service. They always seem happy to help, whether it’s recommending a new drink, customising an order, or simply ensuring everything you need is taken care of. This level of customer service makes a noticeable difference, especially compared to other coffee shops where the service can feel rushed or impersonal. Overall, this Costa Coffee has proven to be a reliable favourite. The quality of the coffee and the care put into each drink, combined with the excellent service and inviting environment, make it a step above many other coffee chains. It’s a place where you can count on both great coffee and a consistently enjoyable experience.

Well well well, where do I start? I’ve never been a fan of big franchises like Costa or Starbucks but my oh my, Jack made my experience sensational. From the nice, warm and friendly greeting to his exquisite barista skills. He served me up his specialty - the salty caramel latte, with extra caramel, just how I like it. A truly life changing experience and an unfathomably good coffee from the master barista himself, Jack.

Today I took a little stroll into Thorpe bay Costa, little did I know that it would change my life. A very scrumptious chap called Jack served me an extra salty caramel latte, he was so polite and even gave me extra milk … and this little kitten loves his milk. I also got a coffee which was very good too. Would recommend to a friend.

Costa Jack gave me no choice but to leave a review. Jack goes above & beyond every time I pop in on my break. I ask for it to be creamed, Jack makes sure it’s creamed. When I’m bored, Jack stirs things up. I tell him I’ve never tried two, so he gives me a second. Thanks for keeping me warm with your tea when I’m cold ❤️

My recent visit to Costa Coffee in Thorpe Bay was hands down the best coffee experience I’ve had in a long time! Not only were the drinks exceptionally well-made – rich, smooth, and just the right temperature – but the staff really made it memorable. Jack and Daniel were incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating such a positive vibe. Jack, in particular, surprised us with his impressive knowledge of snakes, which sparked some unexpected and fun conversation while we waited. It’s rare to find a place where the quality of both the coffee and the service stand out so much. Kudos to the team at Costa Thorpe Bay – I’ll be back for more great coffee and snake facts!

I drink a lot of coffee but this is my favourite place to drink it. The staff are amazing and always welcoming. The food is always good and fresh and the coffee itself excellent. Some branches of Costa don't feel cared for by the staff that work there, but this one does and as a result, there are a lot of regulars who love the place.

This is my favourite branch of Costa hands down. The staff here are what really makes it for me. I do have a branch slightly closer but much prefer Thorpe Bay and the little extra effort needed to get there as it feels like a proper local coffee shop rather than a chain. Oh and the coffee is pretty amazing too!

Really notice how Costa has declined in general now in terms of quality and service and this is very noticeable here. Service is at times rude, mostly tolerant and never buzzing or exceptional. Can’t make a vegan coffee to save lives! Didn’t froth the vegan milk enough which meant it was warm rather than hot and not particularly foamy.

I wasn’t going to write this review as I appreciate a negative review can really affect a small independent business like this, but after reading the other negative reviews it sounds like my experience wasn’t an isolated incident so the owner/manager needs to take notice. When I walked in there was a sign saying “please wait to be seated” but no one around. I waited a good 5 minutes before a young girl came to the counter and said very condescendingly “oh, just a table for one?” One of the main reasons I had decided to come here was because of a sign out the front advertising milkshakes. I asked what flavours they had but was told “no we only do them in summer.” Okay then. False advertising. I then noticed the specials board which advertised the cake of the day as white chocolate fudge cake. Thinking that sounded great I asked for that. “No we don’t have that” I was told. Okay then. More false advertising. At this point I wanted to say “you know what, I’ll just go then” but I felt awkward so asked what selection of cakes they did have. Victoria sponge, lemon drizzle, apple crumble.... what a basic selection! No carrot cake, no red velvet, and no chocolate. I decided to go for the coffee and walnut. When it came time to pay, I realised I only had about £3 in change but I had my debit card and 2 credit cards on me and clearly wasn’t trying to steal a slice of cake. I thought a slice of cake couldn’t possibly be more than £3 anyway, especially as Maxwell’s Cafe over the road does delicious cakes for £2 a slice. Wrong. £3.50 for a slice of cake. The minimum for card payments is £5, which is understandable. But my god the look the woman gave me when I asked if there’s a cash machine nearby. She made me feel like a criminal! She was so rude and made the situation unbearably awkward. I was standing there with my purse, obviously not trying to dine and dash. I even said to her “look I’ll just pay you £5 for the cake”. I felt so humiliated. I was made to feel absolutely awful from the moment I walked in until the moment I walked out. It’s such a shame as I had been thinking about coming for afternoon tea with friends here but I won’t be stepping foot in here again. Not after being treated like that.

I had an absolutely terrible experience at Costa Southend today. I ordered a coffee for collection and ended up waiting for an hour for it to be prepared. Usually, I send someone from home to pick up my order, and today my mother went. She waited for a long time, showed the staff our order confirmation, and yet they demanded payment for an already paid order! This is completely unacceptable. I had to come to the café myself to sort out the issue, and after all this hassle, they finally found my order. Waiting an hour for a simple coffee is outrageous. If you cannot manage your work, you shouldn't come to work at all. The staff’s attitude towards customers was shockingly bad, and I will never order from Costa Southend again. Absolutely disgraceful service!
