Great staff and fantastic manager. We use the loyalty card system and Costa cups, as a result we save a fortune. The place is always clean.

Not impressed with the place. Its a newish, fresh venue, but service was sloppy. Coffee spilled on the tray by the server but no effort to wipe it up. The place was not very busy, with 3 staff in the shop area, all looking at their mobile phones facing each other either side of the serving counter. There were maybe 6 or 7 tables with used cups trays etc. waiting to be cleared. The toilet was in a state; it needed attention but I guess the staff were rushed off their feet. This one was not the staff's fault; the cheese and tomato panini was so bland; almost no filling in it. My wife and I shared it and we both thought the same. I go to a lot of Costa shops; this had the sloppiest feel to it with no excuses about it being so busy..etc.

It is a nice relaxing cafe with great foods and drinks. You can choose from caffeine drinks, frappes, hot chocolates, and more. The snacks are also really nice. I like the sugar cookies that change seasonally, and the jammy dogger biscuts.

Car but the same young man now inside working came across and said let me help he pushed her out to the car got her in and then collapsed the wheelchair and placed it in the boat , mum and get friend were absolutely blown away with his customer service they don’t know his name but I hope u can track him down this young man is a credit to you and your store and indeed the way he has been brought up by his parents etc they should be extremely proud of him this was mums first visit to a Costa and this was such a lovely way to treat people please hunt this employee down and reward him if u can as he was amazing

Spent 15 mins in a line waiting to order with a 3 year old and a 10 year old. When ordering my food I waited a while for my food as the lady behind me in the line were clearly well know. To the staff therefore her 4 hot food and drinks were served to her before mine even though I had paid. My 3 year old is autistic and was not easy to manage while waiting for his food. If I ordered and paid first should t my food be cooked first? I won’t be returning to this costa again. It’s a shame because most Costa’s I have been to are so lovely

What can I say. One Costa is much like another. The most consistent thing is the appalling state of the toilets. This Costa is no exception. I think that is what makes the difference between independent coffee shops and Costa. Having said the coffee was ok. Like any other Costa

Super grubby. Turned up to see a sing saying thei dishwasher had broken to no china cups (spoke with someone recently and apparently this has been the case for weeks!). 2 female staff members stood behind the counter having a good chat, while pretty much all the tables were covered in litter. Litter all over the floor and outside, tables that were clear were grubby and sticky. Extortionate costs on coffee. I'd never return.

4pm mid week. First impressions are really important. Firstly I was metbwith a scratch-wirrten note on the door saying that it's take away cups only as the dishwasher had broken. I still ventured inside, to see 2 girls behind the counter enjoying a chat and 4 tables covered in rubbish (one outside aswell). I sat waiting fir a friend for 10mins and nothing was cleared away. I chose a table, one without rubbish on, although still covered in crumbs and wiped itself. Got iced coffee- nice enough but I wouldn't pay Costa prices (especially in a paper cup) to sit somewhere to dirty again.

Called in for coffee after shopping. There was a sign on door apologising to customer that only take away cups were available as the dish washer was broke. No problem for us how ever I was amazed after speaking to staff how many people had actually complained. If by any chance Costa coffee head office take those complaints serious therefore marking the performance of the down I urge you to think again. The place was clean the staff were happy and helpful. The drinks and cakes were delicious. What else matters.

Just had the most atrociously rude member of staff behind the counter talk down to my wife for daring to sit down while I was in the queue. My wife, upset as a result, would never dream of taking someone else's table, and the incident was very unpleasant. Costa appears to have a real problem with customer service in this area as we feel certain shops are a no go. Talbot Green now added to the list. There is a way to deal with people in a courteous manner that gets your point across without offending. Walking across the road to M&S we were greeted with a full cafe and a member of staff who clearly informed us we would have to wait, then directed us to a table 5 minutes later. That's how you do it and a clear difference in quality and standards.

Today when arriving at Costa I was greeted by rude employees who insisted I do track and trace before joining the queue. Understand that this is policy though the attitude I got from these employees when I was struggling with my children was very disappointing. A single father actually left after I arrived because the track and trace did not work and employees refused help. Not only that but a young couple who seemed to be known by some of the employees waltzed in and was allowed to order without track and trace which I thought was completely unacceptable considering the fuss kicked up when the single father couldn't complete it straight away Going back up to the counter and accidentally forgetting my mask I was greeted by a very rude employee who asked me to put my mask on with unwelcomed attitude, making me feel bellittled. The general attitude and unfriendly atmosphere in this Costa has been getting worse and worse recently and after this, we are never coming back again. Very disappointing service.

Just been to Costa. Have to say I expected better during a pandemic. Track and trace was awkward as the app didn't scan properly. Thankfully the staff member on hand was helpful. Self service is poor. I know all staff need to wear masks but you cannot hear properly over the noise of the coffee machinery. Cakes etc were not clearly labelled. Had to shout to ask what they were. Customers were walking back and forth to collect beverages 😒. Staff weren't leaving sanitising spray on the tables requisite 30seconds before cleaning off. Floor was covered in crumbs and paper wrappings. Poor attitude of staff member on the till. Perhaps there weren't enough staff working which is a management issue and staff cannot be blamed. Won't be rushing back though which is a shame.

Went in as a family of 5 to have a coffee. There are only 5 tables available to sit down and none of them where for 5 people asked if we could put one chair for a 9 year old and they said no. Even thought we would have been more than 5 meter from the nearest table. They have enough space to make more tables available. I understand the precaution but this was extreme. The young girl was apologetic but manager was rude and very unhelpful. This happened in the Costa next door to the beefeater in Talbot Green. This means we are unable to go to our local coffee place to sit down as a family.
