Based on a visit today. Under staffed, no Wifi and card machine on the blink. On the positive side saved £5.70. Shop local !

First thing I noticed was floor was filthy when entering. Poor choice of gluten free, nothing except generic bars. The worst thing was the noise, musak and people shouting to each other over it. Also Montaigne non existent in the shop and no WiFi available.

This is not one if the best Costa's but still try to support it. Why does it no longer have WiFi. It is the only Costa I visit that does not have this service and once inside normal mobile reception is poor.

Updated: 03/03/24 - Nice while it lasted. WiFi’s been out for a week now. Updated: 12/23 - They have WiFi again! 🥳 The staff are always great and their flat whites are always well made. I used to come here often to do some work, but it seems after a number of issues with their internet connection they’ve just given up and gotten rid of the wifi altogether. (Just been told it was cancelled). As the data signal is poor in this Costa the only real alternative in Forfar is Starbucks.

Tired looking place, in need of decoration and update. Staff are lazy and disinterested. Tables needed clearing and the floor had old napkins on it that the staff didn't pick up. Two big cups of tea for £5.20 should pay for better staff.

Enjoyed the quietness of the place and the atmosphere. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, the place is always clean and welcoming. The staff are really good to chat with as well, they are very busy with getting the orders out but they speak to you all the while.

Have been going to this costa regularly since it has opened but lately it has become more disappointing, the only thing that keeps us going back is .My husband loves a costa coffee. Unfortunately even that is disappointing as the dishwasher has been broken for at least three months. (All food and drink is in takeaway containers)This is only one of the faults as there was no hot food available today some days toilets aren't working and the card machine frequently is out of order. This costa is a very poor relation to all others in the area and with some time and effort it could be a flagship branch. Most of the staff are polite and welcoming however the cleanliness of the place could also do with being improved as empty tables are often dirty.Please please can the repairs be made and the staff better supported to provide a standard of service which is available in your other places.

The coffee is good and it is a roomy coffee house but unfortunately that’s where it ends. The service this time was abrupt and unfriendly. The dirty table beside us was cleared but not wiped. There was very little choice of foodstuff and no decafe coffee. We have been a few times hoping that it would improve because it’s Costa but it’s not the case.

First time I have been in here, in fact it's the first time I have been into a Costa for over 2 years since I moved up here. Always get a great hot chocolate. This one was the after eight mint flavour, it is very tasty. The cafe was clean, warm and inviting, and very quiet. The usual test and trace was in place. Well worth a visit.

Staff so rude here, not a hello or ‘I’ll be with you in a minute’ nothing! 2 staff members and me and one other customer in the shop, the other customer was served as I waited. I ordered 2 take away coffees and before I even finished ordering the drinks the man serving me started, never asked what size or if I wanted cream on top etc. Not a thank you or goodbye when I had my drinks. Won’t be back. No wonder the shop was dead despite the 50p drink deal that was on today.

Came into Costa Forfar with a friend. On arrival there seemed to be a slower service than usual which was understandable due to the queue. Once seated we had noticed a lady had came in and sat in the sofa opposite us where she was waiting for someone arriving to meet her. One of your staff with long brown hair, came up and spoke (loudly enough for everyone to here her) and said to the lady “can you move over to the other table so we can let other people in” in a rude manner. The lady did move, informing the staff member that she was waiting on someone coming. The staff member could have kindly went up to the lady to ask her politely if she wouldn’t mind moving to another table as I’m sure the woman would have moved no problem. Not even a thank you to the lady for moving to a different table. This has played in my mind all day as if that had been me in the situation I would have felt embarrassed and humiliated. Maybe this staff member needs some extra training on customer service as the other staff members seemed well trained. Coffee was lovely.

Was in today to catch up with a friend, Never felt so uncomfortable in a place and I was paying to be there..😡 The girl who served me needs to be taught some manners and customer service skills. Her manner was awful, I know we are dealing with covid at the minute, but there is a nice way to ask for details and I don't think I need to give a reason why I'm meeting someone. When maken our coffes she gave up and told the other girl to do it while rolling her eyes. Not the reaction you expect from someone serving you. Coffee wasn't the warmest, certainly won't be rushing back or recommending this Costa. Think some training in basic manners is need Costa for your staff.

It's OK. It's not the coffee that's the problem. If you order a cappuccino you get half a cup of coffee. I don't expect it to be filled to the top but even after the froth is added it is well below the top. The fact that costa is expensive I expect a decent sized coffee. The cakes and food selections are good. Cater for gluten free and vegans. Would be good to see Batista oat milk though. Soy milk is not good and some people can't have coconut milk.

Visit Costa regularly, often with a friend & our two children. It’s central & has the large comfy sofas which is about the only thing it has going for it. The staff here are absolutely terrible extremely miserable & rude. Not only are they lacking in the customer service department they have no fundamental manners, warmth or even a smile something you’d expect from someone working with the general public. Bringing the children in also seems to be an issue & frowned upon from staff, asking for anything seems to be an inconvenience eg cream & sauce on a latte. Their attitude is stinking & very off putting.

Standard Costa fare, you could be in any Costa cafe in the country, you know what you’re getting, same style, same menu, same taste.Not to say this is a bad thing, as you do always know you’re going to get a semi-decent latte but it would be nice if there was a wee bit of variation, other than, ‘sorry we haven’t got skimmed milk today’ that is.Food and drink is as expected, cafe is clean and warm, though rarely full of customers. Staff are friendly enough, could be more efficient but they may be new at the job so one can’t criticise. XSeverely overpriced for what you get, as is every Costa though, so don’t pop in for a cheap cuppie. I’m afraid, unless I was having a meeting, which I have done here in the past, I’d rather spend my money in one of the little local cafes than give money to a huge company.

Yet again this place has let us down.No bonfire spiced drinks! This was the whole point of our seasonal visit.Who was in charge of the ordering that they let stock get to the point there is none and then just laugh when we said we were disappointed that we would just have to have normal drinks.Wondered why it is getting quieter and quieter in here but perhaps this is a clue and see us losing our Costa if things don't improve after reading other reviews I have to agree with a lot of the negative feedback and don't see Costa trying to rectify things.

Called in for coffee and cake whilst in Forfar. Never been in a Costa before and thought it looked modern, bright and spacious. Quite a few customers spread out through the front and back but sadly a lot of un-cleared tables - not a good impression! Ordered 2 cappuccinos and 2 cakes - just under £10 - Sicilian lemon muffin very tasty but coffee lukewarm yet cup was warm - (possibly out of dishwasher!). Service was not with a smile! Would agree with a previous review that it needs someone with managerial experience to run the coffee shop efficiently and to focus on keeping it clean and tidy. On finishing coffee found paper(?) in bottom of cup - hoping this was possibly part of a filter. (Should have brought this to staff's attention but we were in a hurry). Would not hurry back.

I'm a huge coffee fan and love Costa but the Forfar branch is a disgrace. Tables are filthy we had a coffee there last weekend and the table was so dirty we used a wet wipe and it was black. The floor is covered in food and crumbs and dirty plates and cups piled up on tables. The place needs a shake up and someone to mange the place and give it a thorough deep clean it's a disgrace and I've been in many different costas. Service is slow too.

So glad we didn’t read some of these reviews before we went or might not have bothered. After a google search of places to eat “near me” the Speckled Hen came up. We loved it. Nice area, lovely views. Big open airy restaurant. Nothing fancy but clean and homely feel. Lovely selection of homemade sandwiches, cakes etc. My other half had bacon and egg roll which was delivered in a large roll with plenty filling while I had soup n sandwich. Salad and coleslaw with sandwich which was fresh and tasty. Delicious! The waitress also did the cooking so realised it may take longer to arrive than other places but was well worth the wait. Very relaxed and enjoyable. Service was lovely and other half saying he will be back with work colleagues!
