Costa Dunelm side. Service appalling! Hardly any choice of toasties, panini's etc. Child vegetarian. Place exceptionally quiet so no excuse to restock fridge. 3 members staff for 6 customers who'd been served. Asked for latte but info re: flavours poor. Paid for cake but didn't serve it, colleague checked order & saw it was missing. Barista couldn't wait to go into stockroom chat. Won't visit again.

Lack of toilet roll twice! Not a nice position to be in when you do a number two, and then realize there is none. too few people on shift - mid sunday seemed rushed with dirty things piling up and basic supplies not replenished. Also due to rushing food put onto just washed, wet plates and trays, butter grabbed and thrown onto plates. The people likely want to do better but have no time.

I normally am not negative, but I felt this service was poor. Went in at lunch time and had a coffee and then a green tea. The staff couldn't hear me due to the headsets they have on and the "shield" over the tills. There was a lady in front of me who order toast, and only when it was given to her was she told there was no butter. The tea I had didnt have the tea bag in the pot and I think the wrong glass was used. I know it was on the bank holiday and it was steady, but this did not match the service we have come to expect from Costa's.

Went for coffee for the first time since they were allowed to reopen. It was a strange atmosphere because of the covid rules, which doesn't allow a lot of people to sit inside and the fact that a lot of tables were for six with only one or two people on them. The coffee was to a good standard as was the service.

Arrived at 10.30 am, with only 2 people ahead of me in the queue. Waited nearly 20 minutes to be served. Requested a hot chocolate made with water only. The person serving stated that he had to check if he was allowed to make it that way. I explained that other costa shops make it that way for me. He checked with his supervisor, who said it was company policy to make it with milk only. I asked why and explained that other Costas prepare it with water. The supervisor said that they we not allowed as it was company policy. I asked for a hot water instead. The supervisor came to speak to me whilst I was waiting in the queue for my hot water-and a latte for my elderly mother-she explained that the preparer could scaled himself if he made me hot chocolate with water only.... what happens with a pot of tea I asked.... that was different she replied. They had to heat the water to 200 degrees and the server could scald himself!!! Why would they heat the water to 200 degrees? Water boils at 100 degrees. Company policy?????? Shocking service. Uneducated responses. Will definitely never return. Head office should be made aware of the ridiculous claims the manager makes.

Working in retail I understand wanting to go home on time but I’d been waiting in the queue for 10 minutes when I was told I had to leave as they were shutting at 5 however it was 4:50. When I mentioned I’d already been waiting for 10 minutes with my children, the manager just became rude and disrespectful. I left the store and definitely won’t be returning. You shut at 5 for a reason not 4:50 and don’t turn paying customers away, disgusting customer service.

I asked for a little extra coffee in my drink as it was weak and she started shouting at me telling me the measurements. I told her not to bother if it was too much for her.i would of paid for the extra I just wanted a bit more.when I sat down Sara the manager came over and started showing me the measurements in the cups I told her I knew the measurements but it was too weak she had put too much water not enough coffee but obviously she knew best. I could hear them gossiping about us the whole time.i will never return to this one again as it rewind my whole day.she should be ashamed to be called a manager

Much nicer than the Costa across the road, but again very noisy when it's busy. It would be great if there was a wall or screen between the coffee machines and the seating area to block out some of the noise. It would be good if they had the book shelves for purchasing books to donate to the Costa Foundation like other Costas have. Easier to park than across the road as well. Staff friendlier in the Costa too.

Visited this costa on a monday morning, for a quick catch-up with my 4 daughters and little grand-daughter. Very very slow service. very very rude, server named Sadie. Firstly she was asked to replace a filthy glass with a clean 1, she huffed and puffed while getting a clean glass- no exchange of words, no apology for trying to serve a hot choc in a filthy glass. Second order was for a SOYA hot choc for my vegan daughter. This was served and paid for, and I took it to the table to my daughter who was with her little niece at the table. Another of my daughters also ordered a hot choc. While this was being done, my daughter called over to me and said " shes not made that with soya milk, shes using exactly the same milk to make mine with" . Sadie looked at her - went bright red and said " no im sure i used soya milk". Soya milk at costa is served from a carton and not a plastic bag.Due to the look of confusion on her face I asked her to show me the carton she used. ,To which she refused. I was not confident that she used the soya milk, so I said my daughter would have a fresh one. She snatched the glass from me ,while turning away muttering under her breathe. Then went to make a fresh soya hot choc. she then turned back and informed us- she could not in fact make a fresh one , as she had no soya milk !!!! Not a single please , thank you, or apology was given by this very rude deputy manager, even though i was being nice to her, and considering she had not only used the wrong milk, but had lied about it as well. My daughter had to leave at this point to return to work, so before we left I went and asked the very nice young man who was by now serving, if I could speak to a manager. I was told the manager was not in yet but I could speak to the deputy manager- Sadie.!!!! Considering this woman is meant to be the deputy manager, she offered no apolgy for her attitude .I have now made an official complaint to head office about this shocking treatment of customers. while she may not be vegan, my daughter chooses to be , and to be lied to about her using the wrong milk and then to be very rude about it, is just not acceptable.

Unprofessional doormen who attempted to escort a 50+ yr old woman out because she fell on a slippery dance floor in a private event with professional people. Very disappointed in their handling of a situation. Chief doorman gained some respect back by his handling of the situation. More concerned with bureaucracy than human interaction.

Three of us booked for Sunday lunch. Hubby and I chose the lamb, which was absolutely scrumptious. Grandson, who is vegetarian chose the nut roast (no other option). The selection of vegetables was okay - peas, carrots, cabbage and swede. An option of cauliflower cheese would have been nice - at an extra cost. It was however, disappointing not to have a Yorkshire pudding. It seems that they only come with the beef. My grandson in particular would have liked one - he didn’t have any roast potatoes either, which I think is ridiculous. It was a very tasty dinner with real gravy but for the price yorkies should have come as standard.

One of the few traditional pubs left in Mumbles and always a pleasure to visit. We've never had a bad meal there and the staff are always so pleasant. However, during the day time there is usually an older clientele who pop in to meet friends and have a chat over a meal and drinks, so is it recommended to play loud, inappropriate background music and sport on the telly while happy customers are trying to have a chat? Surely this can be tempered a little until the evening regulars arrive?
