The staff here are always welcoming and friendly upon arrival. I also like the fact the staff make that extra effort at this costa branch and bring my hot drink to the table if I drink in. The restaurant itself is always kept clean along with the toilets. The tables are also always kept clean and tidy by the staff

Went in the other day for a coffee wasn't very busy so ordered my coffee and sat down and waited after about 20-30 minutes I went to counter to enquire and they had somehow managed to lose my order didn't have anymore time to wait so got a refund maybe just a one off but will go back and see if the service improves maybe the staff need to concentrate more

Staff were not exactly friendly and made excuses about my cup being returned as it was dirty. They then removed afew more cups before another lady gave me a clean one. They don't sell toast here so I had a cornflake cake, it's was very soft, strange thing. Maybe they're made different there who knows. It wasn't super clean but it was ok, the toilets however have a very strong smell which just isn't nice. My friend used the toilet told me as I was about to go, I thought I'd risk it but in the end I decided to pass.

I was in this store on the day of the previous negative review. All I can say is judge for yourselves on the amount of great reviews given. I did not have any issues and the staff were nothing but attentive and polite. Haven’t we got anything better to moan about. These staff work so hard! Amazing as far as I’m concerned so take your moaning elsewhere!

So disappointed in this Costa, having found other branches to be fine. Visited here on Sunday late morning 11/12/22 and upon arrival, there was no-one ahead of me at the counter so hoped I would be out with 2 coffees really quickly. 2 staff on duty, 1 male and 1 female and both seemed busy preparing trays for customers who were sitting at tables. One of the trays had a toasted sandwich on it. After a few minutes the male staff member took my order and payment and went to the coffee machine. He seemed very unsure and kept checking tickets then going back to the machine. He then started to prepare drinks and I realised that they were not mine so then understood that they were backed up. It became evident that along with preparing trays for customers at the tables, the lady was also preparing an Uber/Just Eat collection. Other customers arrived and placed orders and I still waited. After 15 minutes (with no explanation of the delay or apology) a customer who came in after me was given her drinks before me!! The tray containing the toasted sandwich which was there when I arrived was STILL on the counter - drinks were finally added to this tray and it was delivered to the table - must have been lukewarm at best. Finally, after around 20 minutes, my drinks were given to me with a mumbled 'Sorry about the wait, mate'. Clearly the 2 staff members were struggling and were maybe new to it but some basic customer service skills would have gone a long way to aleviate the frustration I (and others by then) was feeling. Plenty of other cafes and coffee shops in Gorleston so will not return to the Costa.

Was served by one very rude member of staff, shouted at me aggressively when i was looking at the food and there was no queue behind me. I have heard he is often very rude to my peers who come here during college and kicked out one of my friends when she was sitting with her drink minding her business (the cafe was no where near full). He clearly has no customer service training and is an embarrassment to the company. I hope appropriate action is taken.

Dirty Looking Costa Coffee shop on Gorleston High Street, no better inside,dingy and dirty looking, whole place looked like it needed a good clean, 9am on a weekday and dirty tables?? Unisex toilet stank of sewerage, awful awful smell as you opened the door, I'm male and used to work on building sites and have had better smelling portaloo's on sites than I had during my Costa Visit, can only agree with the recent reviews, can't imagine a worse Costa Coffee shop anywhere to be honest. Wouldn't go again if they were giving their coffee away for feel, walked out feeling dirty and sick from the smelly toilet and it cost £15 for the whole unpleasant experience!!!

Quite simple order of a large hot chocolate to go! When I come to drink said hot chocolate what I find is steamed milk with some sort of flavour squirted into the milk!! Am out delivering so no time to return to shop!! Really great waste of nearly £4. If your staff can’t make the basics you really have no hope!!
