Very disappointed, walked into the counter. I asked for a sausage bap. Was sent back to find it in the fridge. Staff didn't help just served the people that had later arrived. Putting me at the back of the queue.. RUDE.

Wanted to sit in my usual seat but got told it was closed for cleaning. Huge queue out the door and people not being able to sit but continued to keep two tables ‘Closed’. Staff were rude and disrespectful. Half of the menu wasn’t in stock!! No kit kat drink for my grandson. Awful place so not reccomend!!

I've had good and bad experiences. The last one put me off. The tray I got was soaking wet and had some brown goo on it which I only saw after I'd sat down. The glass they gave me for my tea was dirty, when I asked for another one it was also dirty, 3rd one was fine. It's a shame because Costa is usually a great brand but this specific branch has issues.

We went to Costa in Brockworth this afternoon at 4.50pm with my elderly mother in a wheelchair. I sent my husband to see what time they closed, it clearly stated 7pm on the door. I managed to get Mother out of the car and into her wheelchair. We went into the establishment and waited several minutes at the counter. In the end we were approached by a member of staff who said they were about to close and we could have a 'take out'. I referred to the sign on the door saying they closed at 7pm and was told that it was wrong and that they closed at 5pm, also that I should have checked on the website! We left.

The issue that I have experienced was: I have ordered a flat white with coconut milk takeaway for the price of £3.35 all good, however when I asked the staff (a young girl with a can't be bothered attitude) why she charged me 30 pence extra she told me that they have 2 options for the flat white £2.60 and £2.90 plus 45 pence for the coconut milk, when I told her why she didn't asked me what size do I want then the supervisor interfered, I asked him if the flat white was one size and he confirmed its one size however they have a regular and a mini ???? how is that one size? It was only 30 pence but I should have the option to chose after all its my money, the staff shouldn't chose for me to pay for the more expensive one, while I was explaining all this the young barista asked me to leave because I was being rude, since when its rude to challenge costa staff regarding the price of the product Costa is selling? I asked to give me the choice to chose my coffee size and I asked for a mini flat white and I was not that surprised when I was told they don't have a lid for that size (take away coffee with no lid) So instead admitting their mistake , (30 pence loss for costa) they had to throw away a perfectly good coffee that cost £3.35, this is how the supervisor "resolve" the issue, as for the young barista to ask a customer to leave because she was challenged about the price is beyond my understanding, she shouldn't work at front of house until she has proper training. I work at Gloucester business park and many of my colleagues had similar issues with the staff at this location, they really need extensive training

Went with my friend on a rainy day after COVID restrictions have been lifted and we could be allowed to stay inside however we have been treated very badly by the staff… Firstly, when we were in the queue to order (even if there was another person in front of us) the barista was shouting at us asking what is our order, I wanted to get closer as I couldn’t hear what she was saying and then she started to yell “no no stay there, no need to come here” and another staff member got involved shouting”she just needs your order”! I need to mention that because they were so loud everybody in the coffee shop turned their heads to see what is happening, like we were doing some sort of scene The whole thing made us feel so uncomfortable because we were trying to see if any tables were available at the time so we can sit at one but then a third member of the staff got involved to say abruptly, very irritated “you don’t have where to sit!” Me and my friend we were speechless, like we didn’t even get the chance to talk as all staff members were basically unpleasant and rude, keep telling us “you can take it to go ONLY” and seemed like they didn’t want us to stay there! Very disappointing experience! Honestly I would recommend the staff members to have a refresher Customer Service Training as they forgot how to treat and speak nicely with their clientele!!! Update: I have been once again disappointed by the staff at Costa, Brockworth! Why do they have to treat you in such a rush! Not even listening what you are saying- I have asked for a slice of BOSH Chocolate cake and I got a rocky road brownie! The impression they give is that they’re trying to get your money and then get rid of you as quickly as possible!!!

Don't listen to you when you order and make their own assumptions about what your order is. Order an oat milk mocha and they always make an oat milk latte and when i correct them they make a normal milk mocha. My gf is lactose intolerant but can deal with the little amount of dairy in the chocolate powder, and I really dislike the taste of milk so get oat milk instead. Definitely don't recommend

Me and my friend visited after restrictions lifted I was totally disgusted by the attitude of the staff I really think they have forgotten how to speak to customers. really made me and my friend uncomfortable in front of everyone It was like they didn’t want us to sit in . We never even had time to speak to each other to work out if we wanted to stay wait for a table the staff were shouting there are no seats it’s taken away etc . All staff were implying we get out , I was so embarrassed all because there were no seats we didn’t even have the chance to discuss our options with my friend we were made to feel like we weren’t wanted. I will never go there again.

Popped in to grab a Costa for the family when a rude woman came through the exit rather than the entry. The young barista politely asked her to use the other door in which the troll ignored and stumbled across the chairs to get to the other side. Another customer challenged the troll but the troll was rude back and was adamant to stay. The troll was extremely rude to the other customer with name calling but I could see the embarrassment when the troll made an order and only ordered for her mum ( who used the correct entry) and didn’t order anything for herself. The young barista treated the troll with top customer service but didn’t receive an apology. Well done for your patience but I really wished you refused to serve her, you really don’t need this type of customers abusing staff and other customers.

We went into this Costa to order two takeaway coffee's. It wasn't very busy at all, 3 of us in the queue, there were three members of staff; the batista, a young girl clearing tables and a lady serving. The moment we came into the store we received bad customer service we were stood waiting for our order to be taken for a long time with no recognition from any staff members, then when we did have our order taken by Cath (this was on her name tag I believe) she was so so rude saying 'what drinks do you want' no 'please' 'thank you' or 'hello' absolutely disgusting! Once we'd ordered and were waiting for the drinks to be made Cath was once again rude. A lady wanted to walk past us and before we even had a chance to move out the way for her Cath shouted across the cafe 'move over out the way' again no please or thank you and her tone was disgusting. I understand social distancing is in place and we happily oblige to all measures, however we were stood on the sticker on the floor where it tells you to wait for your drinks and as I said we saw the lady coming but hardly had a moment to think before Cath was shouting across the cafe. I also noticed Cath being rude to other customers, a young lad and workman also in the queue and it was a shame as the batista and the girl clearing tables seemed fine, although quiet, and perhaps intimidated by Cath, if that's how Cath treats the customers I'd hate to see how she talks to her colleagues! Cath is certainly not in the correct role for her we will not be visiting this Costa again.

I came into costa on the 24th of January 2020, haven’t been in for a couple of months, normally the staff are so friendly, but today I was greeted by a girl who I had never seen working there before, she was ridiculously rude. Didn’t say please or thank you, pretty much through my change at me and kept giving me really dirty looks, I ordered a toasty and a drink and when the toasty was done she slammed it down in front of me (even people in the queue waiting were shocked) when I first ordered she asked me if I would like to takeaway or eat in and I said eat in, but she put everything in takeaway things, so when I asked her if I could have my toasty on a plate she very bluntly said ‘no’. Then I asked her if she could come and clean the table I wanted to sit at and she also said no very bluntly! I then ordered another drink once I finished my first one and she didn’t hear what I said, so she said ‘what’ instead of ‘pardon’ BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. I used to love coming here, having a lovely chat with the people that work there and relaxing! But never again will I be coming here. Horrible service, and absolutely shocking. She should not work face to face with public if that’s how she treats people. Absolutely no need for it.

Well done to Tiffany at Costa Brockworth, it's good to know old fashioned customer service and general kindess isn't dead. I was broken down in my car with only 2% battery left and I phoned Costa and spoke to Tifany to enquire if they had USB sockets. Tifany advised they had traditional sockets but offered that if I walked down she would lend me her charger. A life saving gesture for a cold wet and humiliated driver with a flat battery after leaving ones lights on. A shame that my own company who shall remain nameless couldn't offer the same kindness when I had walked back to the office from my car for help!!!! (Exludes my team mates who were great) Tifany your help was much appreciated and I hope your employer credits you whereas as mine is lacking. Much appreciated once again a warm and restored grateful customer. PS. Carrot cake was great too!

We visited the Queens Head Pub in Gloucester this evening for what was supposed to be a warm and memorable farewell party, but sadly, the experience left much to be desired. We had booked a table for 8 well in advance, but two additional people joined us last minute, something that’s not uncommon at gatherings. Instead of accommodating this small change with a bit of flexibility, the lady serving us acted more like a strict hostel warden than a friendly host. The attitude was brusque, unwelcoming and lacked hospitality completely. Rather than taking care of us with a smile, we were met with a sour expression and curt comments about our party size. While they arranged for a table for 10 after some discussion, soon it was announced that food choices were limited to mains only ( at 8 pm). No sides or starters were available, very strange and unlike other pubs in and around. Adding to this, when one of the friends picked a chips from another’s plate we were immediately told off saying food cannot be shared and an extra service charge will be added. Instead of helping us find a solution, made us feel like we were an inconvenience. The rudeness didn't stop there; throughout the evening, this person seemed impatient. It genuinely felt like we were being chastised for daring to enjoy ourselves. The food itself was average at best, but any enjoyment we might have had was completely overshadowed by the poor service. At a time when we wanted to celebrate and relax, we were made to feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. A little courtesy and flexibility go a long way in hospitality, and unfortunately, Queens Head seemed to lack both. If you're looking for a pub with a friendly atmosphere and accommodating staff, I’d recommend steering clear of this one. We left disappointed and regretting choosing this venue for such an important occasion.

I had the steak night deal , a wonderful rare rump steak , perfectly cooked with Stilton sauce and chips with salad and lovely cold thatchers gold for £16 , tremendous value for money and the staff were excellent . Well worth a visit
