Costa Coffee in Maldon

A much better place now I can take my little dog in to get a takeaway coffee.

i was served by kiri and she was so lovely and friendly. offering butter with my croissant and ultimately just being friendly. i just wanted to say this about her because one person can really make your day despite it going bad so far. coffee and food also delicious

Last week, I had the pleasure of visiting Costa in Maldon, and my experience was nothing short of delightful. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the staff, who were not only friendly but also exceptionally attentive. Their welcoming attitude immediately made me feel at ease, setting the tone for a great visit. I ordered two espressos, which were served promptly and with a smile. The coffee was rich and flavorful, exactly what I needed to kickstart my day. The barista clearly knew their craft, as the espresso had the perfect balance of strength and smoothness, without any bitterness. It was a testament to Costa's commitment to quality. To complement my coffee, I decided to try one of their cakes. The cake was fresh, moist, and wonderfully indulgent—a perfect pairing with the espresso. The portion size was just right, offering a satisfying treat without being overwhelming. The presentation was also top-notch, showing that even in a casual setting like Costa, attention to detail matters. The café itself was clean, comfortable, and had a pleasant ambiance, making it an ideal spot to relax for a while. Whether you're stopping by for a quick coffee or spending some time catching up on work, Costa Maldon offers a welcoming environment that caters to all. Overall, my visit to Costa Maldon was a great experience, thanks to the excellent service, delicious coffee, and quality food. I’ll definitely be returning soon.

Nice coffee and nice and clean

Pleasant staff, nice coffee but the premises are a bit bland and have little atmosphere

Really enjoyed my coffee here, so much so, that I took the opportunity to thank the barista personally. Great service and have returned.

Good staff very welcoming and a good well made coffee always a great flat white coffee from Jazmin as always . My wife and I enjoy our coffee here .

Good coffee shop with good range of coffee and food.

Always friendly staff, seating abit austere now, not much atmosphere, used to be better

Popped in for a coffee and just wanted to make Costa aware of something. Jasmine who served me today was incredibly polite, helpful and cheerful, employees like this are a credit to any business.

An enjoyable Coffee in a clean and well kept Shop, in no small part due to the friendly, smiling girl who conscientiously swept the floor and wiped down the tables.

Great customer service even when under pressure, friendly welcoming staff. Always enjoy our visits. Very accommodating for disabled customers

Love the Costa on the Maldon high street, the pleasant staff and the lovely coffee as always. We are new to the area and will definitely make this Costa a regular.

The third Costa in a fortnight that I have visited, and the third that I was told the dishwasher is broken and had to have a takeaway cup. I didn't stay this time. I rather think it is down to staff costs rather than mechanical failure. Very disappointing for what once a premium brand.

After some shopping at Next, my friend and I excitedly went upstairs to the Costa to try the new seasonal drinks we have seen advertised everywhere. Very disheartened to be told they did not have any of the syrups so we could not have the drinks. No alternatives were offered and the young staff were unfriendly and clearly fed up to be there by their response to us so we sadly left

Enjoyable cup of coffee and cake. Not busy (Sunday early afternoon) so it was an opportunity for a quiet catch-up with my sister, comfy seats, no irritatingly noisy children and the chance to people-watch. Efficient service and pleasant staff. First visit to this branch, will definitely visit again.

Right in the middle of Maldon High Street this Costa is a nice cool oasis in this warm weather. Nice refurb of the interior. All the drinks you would expect, hot or cold and a good selection of cakes and snacks. Even when busy service is good. For me the best one in Maldon.

Very helpful and happy staff. Been a long time since I had been in this one, nicely surprised at the new decor.

Definitely recommend the Toblerone or Terry's Orange Chocolate hot chocolates, they are both fantastic 👌🏻 Only available in winter for some reason. Not a fan of the best drinks only being available for a few months, very annoying. The normal year-round drinks are average so the only reason I ever go there is for the seasonal drinks, but only for 3 months at a time. A strange and unfortunate business tactic. Great place to sit and have a coffee, or grab it to go on the way to the bus stop. There are bathrooms in the back too.

Love this Costa, very light and lots of space

Good food, friendly staff, nice atmosphere

Great service and polite staff. The coffee shop was clean and trays were cleared quickly. Majority of the seating was a bit kitchen chair type but there are a few comfy chairs and a banquette. Coffee was great and the toasties were tasty. Clearly the Internet connection was good judging by the number of laptops in use.

Usual Costa coffee shop offering drinks and snacks. Very clean. The only problem I always find with Costa is service always slow due to the way drinks are prepared. Quality of all products very good.

Good service and well placed in maldon town center

Quick service, gent making the drink almost knocked mine over (accidents happen), but then just poured the made drink into a new glass rather than make a new one. Bit odd, but ok.

I am new to enjoying coffee and I was intimidated to go into a coffee shop. A lovely gal with rainbow hair helped explain things to me and made me a frappe with only one shot to see how I went. I loved it. The staff have all been kind and patient with my fumbling orders and questions. There's a young man who's tall with glasses who was very helpful today also. ( I have poor eyesight so I can't read the name badges, apologies to the staff as they deserve recognition)there's a lovely atmosphere and the shop smells delicious too.

Yet again a great experience at Costa Coffee on the Blackwater Retail Park, Fullbridge, Maldon, Essex.. Good coffee, good food, very comfortable surroundings. And yet again I must pay credit to the young lady Alice for her brilliant smile and customer service. A definite candidate for a SERVICE EXCELLENCE AWARD

it's a Costa which needs a makeover

Really lovely Costa. Staff lovely.

Excellent coffee, reliable cuppa as always - great to have somewhere one can rely on.

Always enjoy my morning fix, cappuccino is excellent.

Had to wait a while to be served ..but drinks was delicious

Quiet place early. Friendly staff. Clean.

If you fancy a good cup of coffee then make your way along the High Street & you will find this place, they can provide a great cup of coffee & a cake for a very reasonable cost.

Friendly staff, clean toilets and plenty of seating. Nice drinks and food but very overpriced for what you get.

Visited as a stop through on journey to Potters Five Lakes. Friendly staff, toilets available, clean. Tea and cake a little treat.

Open till 6 but stop serving at 5? Joke.

Took one bite and didnt taste right. Opened and realised the bacon was almost raw. I had to take it out and cook it myself.....

It is the usual costa coffee shop but it is the staff that make this branch exceptional. They are always very helpful especially to the elderly and always friendly.

Good shop good coffee and excellent service.

Allways amazing service, very helpful staff. Many Costa staff are rushing and show little customer service. Maldon store we allways welcome with a smile and no matter how busy staff allways polite and patient

Typical Costa coffee - good service, usual prices. Food and drink good quality. Plenty of seating space. Clean toilets. Shame the tray wasn't as clean 😕

The staff are friendly and helpful

Usual good service at Costa. Clean tables and good selection of food.

Hard working staff keeping queue moving, clean, tidy!

Not a particularly pleasant experience if I'm honest. 3 girls serving and trying to do their best but they were getting a little flustered at times and service was slow. But they were pleasant at all times. Also it was lunchtime and busy and very noisy. Shields were in place at the counters but most customers were not wearing masks or observing social distancing. Tables were wiped down after each customer left.

If you want a good flavoured cup of coffee then this is the place for you. The staff there are very friendly, they also can provide you with some very tasty treats to eat too.

Friendly service, clean tables and good coffee

Nice. friendly & helpful staff, perfect coffee and toasties.

Bit of a painful time in here today. In a queue with two lots of people causing issues. Service very slow. Staff pleasant enough and I can only assume they are worn down with 'coviditis'. Not something you want to encounter in your first visit in over a year.

Friendly staff & was quickly served.

Nice place to meet family and friends 😊

Helpful and friendly, enjoyable visit.

Lovely hot chocolate rocky road staff are friendly

Food is nice, coffee is great. Prices are a little high.

Warm and friendly service. Very well adapted to the 'new normal' of post covid life. Huge site for chilling or meetings.

Always a pleasure, and the present situation doesn't diminish it too much.

Nice coffee and fast service. Recomand.

Nice coffee very slow moving even considering the new rules.

Good service and good food as always.

Lovely experience. Social distancing adhered to and the usual great coffee

I just popped in there for a cup of tea on Monday and was really pleased to see how well it was being run under lockdown as regards social distancing and hygiene. All measures have been taken to comply with the current necessary conditions - some tables blocked off, hand sanitiser available etc. The toilets were clean too. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The tea is drinkable and they do some little gluten-free iced cherry bakewell tarts which are good. I just wish they would do more gluten-free food, then I would visit more often.

Always great service at Maldon, how we've missed the cheery welcome and excellent Mochas made by Maria.

I frequently visit Costa Coffee as It’s a lovely meeting place with friends friendly staff and good coffee.

great coffee and friendly staff

I'm sure the 'Baristas 'are trained to say, when they see your points total...Would you like to use some of your points Madam? Or similar... But she didn't. ..just shrugged her shoulders.. There should be a list for trainees on the till...1.Smile 2. Ask the Customer if they would like to use their points and not when they've paid the bill. ..

Friendly staff and real good coffee

Place is cozy and staff are helpful and well mannered

Dreadfully busy too long a queue

Coffee good, staff friendly, but almost no food options available. This is becoming increasingly common in Costa stores across Essex. Costa going to go bust if they don't sort this out very quickly.

Love Costa coffee but can be expensive ok if you can afford it

I have used this branch of the chain before and went there yesterday after a bad experience in another nearby independent coffee shop. I was served by a gem of a lady who was on her own due to staffing problems. Excellent coffee and pleasant atmosphere. I shall return.

Earned that coffee......busy day

If you are visiting the lovely old town of Maldon & fancy a good cup of coffee then you will find this coffee house half way down the High Street. It is a nice size & there are plenty of tables & chairs for you to relax in. They can provide you with a variety of coffees & they can also provide you with snacks & delicious cakes & all for a very reasonable price.

Clean and tidy. Staff were friendly and we were served quickly. Drinks were fine as expected from a large chain franchise.

Great coffee good to get out of the rain. Friendy service too

Very good. Quick service. Coffee could be hotter and needs more comfy seating

Good example of a costa who in my opinion make the best hot chocolate or mocha of any of the chains.

However hard I try I can't beat the craving of a Costa.

Just love Costa, perfect in every way

Good, efficient service. Food that's expected from the Costa chain

Oh god. What a miserable place to work obviously. There is little to no enthusiam from anyone other than (cindy?) Your coffee isnt the best, its burnt and made in dirty double espresso cups that are reused from the 3 people infront of me, plus a dead extra espresso that you charged me for. The staff are rude and blunt and short and not one person smiled. The floor was fine but due to the lack of urgency the back tables could be forgotten about. The cinnamon bun was stale, there was little to no communication between anyone and i guess youre blessed by your prime position in town. I honestly dont think ill be going back! It was so loud and the atmsophere seemed stressed despite having three people working and never kore than 3 in the queue.

Best Costa. Very friendly staff

Good service but no vegan options

This is a very popular coffee cafeteria. People seem to like it and use it to meet up there. Mothers have room to get pushers in. Although when it's very busy perhaps this not so easy. Staff are courteous. Like all coffee chains service can seem slow when demand is high. Maybe due for a makeover.

Lovely clean shop, staff very friendly and helpful!

Usual standards needs some updating

While staff and cakes and sandwiches have remained adequate the coffee has gone from bad to worse. Seems Costa have introduced weaker blend.

Clean, welcoming service. Nice atmosphere

In on Thursday plenty of room lovely coffee, good atmosphere.

We recently went to Maldon to get some Christmas shopping & after doing so went into costa for some refreshments. This is a nice spacious café with lots of good seating & tables. The staff there are friendly & can provide you with a great cup of coffee & a tasty cake & all for a very reasonable price.

it's cost a coffee. you know what you are getting . never an issue

Good coffee served in pleasent surrounding.

They've changed the Belgian brownie!!! Heartbroken!

Floor filthy.. Tables not cleared. . Toilets disgusting.. Toilet paper on the floors and urine on floor and on seat. The toilets are male and female. Lack of hygiene. On my last visit a member of staff was sitting on the floor cleaning the iron railings. She'd be more use if she had been sweeping the floors and clearing /cleaning the tables

Luverly cuppa & banana cake after a long walk b4 catching the bus. Wot more could u ask 4.

This cafe has comfortable chairs and bar seating along the street side window. The coffee's good and the staff are excellent.

A lovely place to get a magazine, A large coffee then sit read and chill 😀😀😀

Great drive thru. Asked for a little cold water in my peppermint tea to avoid having a scalding hot drink to deal with when driving. They said fine, no problem but forgot to do it. Didn't realise until I'd driven off.

Cold drinks are great just wish there was better cup insulation
