Costa Coffee in Newark and Sherwood

I cannot praise the staff enough, Amy and Nigel in particular are always so cheerful and helpful. All the team are amazing and always so busy. Thank you

In over 2 hours no tables were cleared/cleaned. Staff seemed more interested in chatting

I'm a Costa lover but newark centre not good never enough staff and very untidy and getting very expensive compared to others! I now only pop in now and again used to be a regular

Contrary to another review from someone else last year, I don’t have an issue with seeing anyone drinking water with a straw (hydrate however you want) and thankfully I am aware that ordering a regular is a medium size too. All members of staff were very inviting, welcoming and very easy to talk to. Didn’t see anyone on their phone aside from when on break. The coffee was great and everything was very clean. I have been going regularly and will most definitely continue to do so. 100% beats the store I have close to my workplace in Lincoln!

We arrived at 4.10 it's closes at 5 and was asked if ok in takeaway cups as they said they were closing soon, I could have to Greg's for half the price for a paper cup. I just said yes I guess it was to much trouble to wash 2 mugs

Good coffee, great staff especially Mollie, very welcoming.

Really clean facilities and the staff we're lovely , customer service was brilliant 👏 They couldn't do enough for you . Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent place for a coffee and a snack, went in yesterday with my Grandchildren, lovely helpful staff and Michelle was great with the little ones, nothing too much trouble and a relaxed, welcoming place, well done, credit where credit’s due.

Overall OK for a quick brunch and a good cappuccino. Good parking space and appreciated the friendly staff. What I missed was its level of cleanliness.The place could have been cleaner.

I only drink tea and love their toasted sandwiches. Thank you.

My husband's birthday you get a free voucher for a cake n phone,ahe just said taken teacakes off without asking him.didnt give cutlery for food,

Was clean and tidy staff were friendly and helpful good coffee

Friendly staff. A little dirty place. Just a working bathroom. The one that was operating did not have toilet paper

Always lovely to pop in for a coffee ☕ staff are always lovely

I am here a 8am on the dot, every day to meet friends. Molly and her team really look after us. Tony

It was very noisy, and tables were messy.

I was served by Jodie - the rudest person I have ever encountered - I ordered an apple tart and she gave me a broken peace I asked for another - she threw the plate banging them- then went and got another one touching with her hands and I told her I don’t think I deserve this service she said I got you another peace - kept making mad eye gestures - didn’t say thank you .. this is the worst customer service I have ever experienced - order no. 285 - receipt 223069- newark the maltings RP unit 1D.

From time to time I visit this Costa and mostly order hot chocolate. Costa's hot chocolate got unique taste. I tasted their seasonal hot beverage. Blackforest Hot Chocolate with Cream. Also recommend their aromatic flat white coffee and Gingerbread Latte with Cream. Soon it becomes like diary from my latest visits to Costa. So last time tasted well baked sandwich and hot chocolate.

Only options for our dairy free 20 month old was toast, but it'd hard to find anything for her in most places. A couple of nice big tables which is great as a larger family.

Quick service. Coffee alway good

This is for the lady who gave me two drinks as a “surprise and delight” gift today at Newark Northgate Station. My gift card balance didn’t update so I couldn’t use it. I kept looking while she made our drinks and she came back and said it’s on me. I was so surprised and absolutely thrilled that this little offer of kindness had been given to me today. Thank you lovely lady. Great start to our wedding anniversary weekend x

Called in here for a spot of lunch on Saturday ,the place was heaving but my husband managed to find an empty table,after a long wait in the queue I was served,I had two Bacon and Brie Panini's that wanted heating up,my coffee was made while I waited,took them to our table and my Panini was stone cold in the middle,the cheese wasn't even melted,my husband's was just warm,it couldn't of been given the set time to warm up in the oven as they were heaving.i ate it as was hungry and couldn't possibly stand in that queue again to tell them it was cold.A disappointing expensive lunch !

This place was very tired decoration wise also it was in need of a good clean!!!

Usual experience here very friendly and helpful staff and better coffee than Starbucks as it is served hot not warm can't fault the service.

Ordered regular and sat down and got a medium ! Both drinks so extra cost hot chocolate wasn't hot. Place wasn't very clean counter staff stood drinking water through her straw and using phone by the till ! Tables needed clearing customer's were sitting at dirty tables and moving cups and trays to next tables.

Update Feb '23. Food and drink still a strong 4 but service leapt to a 5. Nice one! The man who served me was engaging, interested and made conversation. Service was quick again and the coffee and toasties were just right. Well done for the improvement. 'Before' My local town centre Costa which I use regularly. 4 stars for food & drink but new staff brings down to 3. Staff not rude or anything just not aware of customer service really! Previous staff (now at new satellite) were very friendly and engaging. Just a "Hi" or "good morning" and a smile to greet is nice and when waiting for something to be heated up a "the food will just be a second" helps you feel confident you've not been forgotten. However, coffee was very good and the food was not too long in coming and good when done. Will definitely be dropping in again. Thanks.

It's like most Costa Coffee outlets, overpriced, luke warm welcome with a hint of naff warm coffee & stale banana loaf. See you soon 😀

Busy place with friendly service.

Standard Costa shop, staff pleasant. Good town centre location on edge of market square

Good drinks and food but staff are unfriendly and barely say 2 words to you.

In my personal opinion standards have dropped. It seems that the staff are making the effort to be polite and helpful. Very helpful when gifting coffee to a friend. Paying premium prices for coffee still. But when you purchase a drink you are entered into a pot luck prize, chance to win some freebies. Some yummy Christmas treats. Would still recommend the vegan bbq ckn and cheese pannini. Very tasty. Vegan cake choices are more limited, but blueberry Muffin is OK. Teacake are vegan so long as you don't have butter. I would try the Costa at the Maltings Newark for a better experience and customer service, vegan Cheesecake, very yummy at the Maltings costa Newark.

My wife got a free coffee with our toasties.

Enjoy a coffee and cake. Clean toilets. Thanks

Ordered 2 drinks at the Stodman Street Costa. Both were wrong. Had 1st one corrected but daughter didn't want a fuss so kept hers. No apology. Told my daughter they didn't do the drink she had ordered so had to show it in the menu! My replacement drink was not good, couldn't finish it. Barely any flavour. Didn't complain again as won't be visiting again anyway.

Always a nice place to visit for coffee n cake😊 Friendly staff, clean place throughout, worth a few quid extra!

Service with a scowl! Possibly the grumpiest staff I have ever come across in a cafe. Please note that it is also self-service - You clear and clean your own table (even when the place is less than half full). 😕

Haven't been in Costa's for a while very expensive

Big shop. Quiet at the time of visit so service was quick.

Didn't listen to my wife when she asked for and double checked for a decaff coffee shot in her drink due to dietary requirements. The lady that made it made it with caffeinated and then shouted at my wife when she said it wasn't right. She then proceeded to try and tell the next customer it was their drink when it clearly wasn't. Horrendous attitude and shocking standards of work

Took a long time to get a basic order done, people behind me in the cue got there orders before, and I go to the upstairs seating as downstairs was full and find there's some kind of large noisy women's meeting group there.... only came for a bit of peace and quiet... won't be returning again....

If I could give it zero stars, I would. Was queuing for almost 10 minutes and there were only 3 people in front of me and probably another 6, at least behind me. Unfriendly staff. No coconut milk. Iced tea was Luke warm.

While I've had more better drinks with COSTA then STARBUCKS, I have to say I was left disappointed in this one where the music upstairs coming out of the speakers was very fuzzy sounding. For the drink I ordered I'm shocked that the stuff don't know what's wrong when they forget to put something on the drink that should be there like sprinkles. They did look surprised when I asked if I could have the sprinkles on the drink. I have to say the NEW COSTA COFFEE opposite M&S is much more inviting as are the staff. The staff there know how to greet customers and laugh with them unlike the serious faces in this one.

This branch is looking very tired and could definitely do with refurbishment. All four drinks we purchased were only just drinkable as not very hot and the cakes were all very dry. This branch wasn't as good as those used at a very busy motorway services

No brown sugar for over a month. Realise Supply maybe an issue but not that tricky. Tables damaged from Covid stickers. Lot of Staff change in one fell swoop. They don’t seem happy. Prices higher to quell a free coffee in 8 is turning me away. Sorry

Really slow and uninterested service levels

This Costa needs a revamp .Toilets especially very dirty this morning haven't been checked regularly as a customer had left it in a right mess , toilet paper was filled bonus . Entering from outside white doors where very dirty not a good impression .Staff were pleasant quick service only 2 staff on as far as I could see

Would have been 5 star? But at 12.15pm, would have expected more sandwiches available.

A well loved coffee shop in need of a deep clean/decoration.

Called in for coffee and toast stood 15 mins to get served even with 4 staff on .Finally ordered .had to wait ages for it then first come toast then after more time my drink by which time my toast was cold and hard .Worst costa ive been in very very slow

Meet here every friday with my friends from newark demensure group , good service great place to meet and great great coffee

Nice clean tidy costa coffee in centre of town - staff are lovely and the quality of drinks is to be expected from a typical costa

Poor service, dirty tables and rude staff

Very nice experience, we enjoyed ourselves

Nice and cozy place to have a coffee or a milkshake. Really good drinks and great staff. In general a nice place to start the day.

I would go again because the staff is so pleased.

Good coffee,staff were friendly Just felt a bit dark and messy ,not dirty just tired and in need of a freshen up

My favourite place for coffee ☕ and to unwind

Quite a nice one, don't tend to use Costa's like I used to.

Not the value of goods that was said .and a cinnamon roll that was handed back by customer in front of me was placed in bag

Nice staff and good coffee and cakes

Awesome staff and super clean seating area

I had tea as I don't like their Coffee My Tea was excellent, but cools down too quickly in those wide cups I'd prefer a large mug made from white china .

Costa Coffee is a Costa Coffee! One of the biggest franchises in the world, there’s not much difference between any of them. Newark’s is spacious enough with friendly trained staff. Adequate.

One of the better Costas with really friendly and helpful staff

Great coffee and good location .the hot chicks my wife's fav

Good to see the staff busy. Loo was clean and staff were seen cleaning while we were there.

Lovely atmosphere for a relaxed breakfast.

Toilets were broken & I mean they were. It was a mess.

Friendly staff and a great cup of coffee 👍

Great hard working staff. Nice coffee and pastries.

Good English food. Hot and cold. Reasonable prices. Always served with a smile. By two very nice ladies. We have been several times and always been satisfied

Staff drinking behind the counter but not then using sanitizer before serving the next customer

The service is always good. Very chatty too. Its good to have that. I'm glad they are back open. Missed my coffee on the way home. Keep up the good work guys.

This is a comfy café, near the Market Place in Newark. Staff is lovely- always smiling and friendly. However, there are so many nice independent café in Newark that, perhaps, they should consider to renew their interior design. Otherwise, nice coffee and soya latte.

Quick friendly helpful service will go again

Staff are amazing and very helpful

Usual Costa. Staff are pleasant and clean place. The upstairs seating doesn't have any views outside as it's an old building.

As a regular customer at Costa Newark I have to say in my experience the staff are always very professional, courteous and friendly, and without exception all my visits have been very pleasant and relaxing! Compliments to all. Malcolm Goodman MBE

Helpful staff as we are disabled

Good safe so friendly lovely girls in their.

Great staff, fantastic service.

Great friendly staff, most enjoyable drink I look forward to on a daily basis.

Problems with the epos system and the app in relation to the 50th birthday promotion prevented me from giving 5 stars.

I visited today with my partner and ordered a flat white and a steamed milk, something that I thought was quite straight forward, however they said they had never heard of a steamed milk and when we explained what it was asked if we wanted it hot or cold! I find this strange as I believe this until recently has been on the menu and it’s not exactly difficult to do. The flat white was tasteless and not up to the normal standard that I would expect from a costa.

Always a pleasure to visit Costa in Newark. Sally and Sam always pleased to see you and can't do enough for you. These two great people should be recognised for their services 10 / 10 long may they stay with the company Costa would be lost without them

Lovely place but drink was a hot chocolate but more like warm milk

The staff are always polite and inviting. Prices (which I know are out of the staffs hands) are very reasonable and I've not had a bad coffee in many a visit

Arrived at 5pm shows as open till 5.30pm but was closed update your hours wasted trip

Visited on market day. Coffee as expected. Café clean and welcoming

This Large Costa store in Newark does have ground floor & upstairs seating areas which has been obviously reduced in table numbers due to the covid socially distancing rules ! ..Hand gel dispenser,floor distance markers & protection screens for counter staff are all in place .I called in 1st for a take away "Gingerbread " Latte & didn't have to wait very long, I returned later on in the day to stay inside in a group of 3. .2 x teas,3x toast & once again gingerbread latte . Great pleasant service once again & the best made Costa Gingerbread latte around !

I have been coming every morning 7-8 am for the last 6 years. Very friendly place, great staff- always friendly and helpful - I actually taught one of them years ago - good range of hot and cold food and drinks - all made how you like it. Overall, a great atmospheric coffee shop with friendly staff and regulars. Don't be put off by the comments from 'one-off' customers - try it for yourself. Tony.

We went to get a cup of coffee at on Sunday evening after 4pm. Shop was open but we were denied coffee and were told only freeze items are available. Very ironic that coffee shop not offering coffee. Staff's attitude was very rude as well. Very bad experience..

Limited number of tables but as always the coffee is the best

Good coffee and socially distant toasties.

If you're excited by a Costa Coffee, then you probably need to give your head a wobble. Having said that, this particular branch was not too shabby, despite being positioned in a particularly unglamorous part of Newark. Staff were very friendly, toilets were clean, and the coffee was...well...the same as any other Costa chain. Plenty of seating available, and a handful of breakfast options.

Nice Costa with good staff and handy location close to the market square.

Standard costs really, although with 15 people in the queue, you'd think the staff might be a bit more attentive and quicker serving.

Staff could be a little more polite and helpful towards there customers, and could do with a shop make over especially with regard to cleaning

I arrived just before 5 after going to a local ATM. Whilst there appear to be two staff on duty one seems to be doing all the work. Cleaning, sectioning area off doing my friends toastie and generally being nice and friendly. This leaves the tall surly one. Taking the order I had to walk away from my friend for fear I would ask her what her issue is. Saying that she was animated with another person who I couldn’t work out if he worked here or not she was talking to him over paying customers as near five o’clock he pulled the screen down over the sandwiches. This with one and a half hour to go. She was also animated with another person who came in having purchased a dress makers model which after having received two drinks a visit to the toilet he plonked in the service area.

Dirty place. Dirty tables, dirty teaspoons. Place not hygienic. staff not experienced in what they do. Barista gives coffee as if he was pouring water into a glass. I have been to coffee several times and I can say there is no improvement.
