This is the most amazing Costa I have been to and I have been to quite a few in the tn and me areas The coffee shop is so so clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful. I live 24 miles away from this costa I have been here maybe 12 times B4 and I will definitely be coming back again from Lionel Fosher.

We were visiting RTWells so popped into Costa, late in the day. Some of tables had already been cleaned and there were on top of tables, not an issue as plenty of other tables, but if staff can clean here why not the toilets. Staff member very friendly, polite, service was quick, no wait and I could understand the staff member as she spoke English ! Drinks to a good standard. First impressions of counter area were good. Sat in window seat, on low table with more comfortable chairs, I then noticed how dirty the fabric on these seats were on the arm rests, ingrained dirt was shocking. I’m well aware of the footfall in such establishments but these needed cleaning or disposing of. Other areas need attention re decor etc. I visited the toilet which if I had visited before my drink, I would have left. It was shocking. I don’t envy the staff who have to clean these areas and the design should be such they could hose / mop which then goes into a plug hole on floor maybe but this was awful. I think many costas are tired these days and I will make more of an effort to go to an independent place.

Absolutely dreadful. The outside of the building is filthy. Windows filthy, died poo all over window sills. Entered the property and two women were serving in slow motion. This gave time to look around. What a shambles. Everywhere it was filthy. Whilst waiting to served, my husband went off to use the toilets. He came marching out and said to me they were the worst toilets he had ever been and he said the place is filthy and we were leaving. He was so right! Going to Costa years ago was lovely. Not now. There dirty and soul less .

Absolute appalling. Went to get a drink as it was a hot day with my girlfriend and was disgusted by the service. My drink took ages to be made and when it finally came I picked it up a a staff member violently snatched it out of my hand my girlfriends drink had came about 20 minutes prior to this. MY drink was then gives to a man. What happened to feminism?!? I then had to re order my drink and when it finally arrived it was incomplete and lacked a lemon. My girlfriend also complained that her drink had too much whip and not enough neigh neigh. Will not be returning would not recommend at all.

Visited St John's Costa this afternoon. Just wanted a couple of small lattes after a long walk for me and a friend. I went in while my friend waited outside as we are conscious of social distancing and there were 3 other people in there. After a few minutes I was asked to go and wait outside as there wasn't a free "spot" for me to stand on. Again, I really didn't mind this because obviously different places have different rules to keep us safe. I got back into the premises after two or three minutes and stood patiently. Once inside I waited and waited to place my order with 2 people infront of me and 1 or 2 behind. There were 2 servers behind the counter who both appeared to be very busy. After around 5 minutes of not being served I realised that while both servers were very busy, they were in fact making up Deliveroo orders and completely ignoring the people in the store. After another few minutes I left without ordering. While I understand that there may be time restrictions on Deliveroo orders, surely with two servers, one could have done Deliveroo while one served people in store.Very disappointed, will stick with Nero down the bottom of town from now on.

There's not consistency in the coffee they serve, I visit this granch nearly every day and depending on who is making the coffee I have a good one or a bad one. I always have a latte at times it comes with half a cup of froth milk (?) also a member of the team is quite rude and don't seem to listen to clients needs.

Was very disappointed and it’s the first time I have to say I didn’t enjoy costa. I had watermelon and coconut cooler and the Mrs had Mango and passion fruit cooler. As soon as I was handed the cooler I tried a little bit and the rest was just slush. I had to wait for it to melt before being able to drink. Was very disappointed with it. The Mrs enjoyed her Mango and passion fruit cooler and it was much better that mine that is why the 2* rating. The place overall looks like it needs to be kept tidier. Am a fan of Costa and I guess it was just down to the one silly drink I ordered. I would still visit Costa but definitely be wiser with the choice of drink I guess.

Would have had a better score if the air conditioning was not on at full blast even though the weather is far from warm. Needed a coat or warm jacket to sit inside, really really cold! Even the coffee didn't stay warm for long. Otherwise the food choices were reasonable, ditto the coffee. Try sitting outside...it will probably be warmer!

A normal Costa coffee shop but there are seats outside in the newly renovated area of Five roads in Tunbridge Wells. On a warm day you can sit outside and watch the world go by next to the rather strange looking tower clock.

I only drink cafe latte and the one from Costa's is the best. I only get annoyed when I buy take away coffee and the staff always cover my cup with plastic lid where I still have to put sugar in so I don't see the point. I have asked the girl why she is insisting on putting the lid, she replied that it is for safety reasons. I said ok but still it's pointless to put that lid on where literally behind me is the table with sugar and I am not clumsy person that will spill coffee on the floor. In fact sometimes the staff are filling up the cup up to the rim so I have to tell them not to do that because then it spills.

If you've been to one Costa you've been to them all. And that is what's reassuring about them, you know what you like, you know how you like it and you know you can get it on every street corner. You don't have to try anything new, you don't get something you don't want.

Called here today on our first visit to Tunbridge Wells. Exterior impression poor with paint pealing on window sills and black rubber mat seen better days. Seating tired. Flooring covered with various bits of food debris and what looked like a milk spillage. Normally we order coffee at our local Costa but here we had pots of tea. After a reasonable mashing time poured out. The colour was blonde and the tea weak even after further mashing.

I have visted loads of times, usually due to the rain haha. but as far as Costas go this is one of the more spacious ones, with views overlooking the new plaza, millenium clock and the hub of the town, the staff are really nice and skilled as using a Barista machine is not easy if your used to the normal easy ones at home. I was dissapointed to hear that Costa doesnt pay staff overtime? So im suprised the staff manage to pull of a smile.

As in all branches of Costa Coffee, the food and drinks are of a very good standard. However, this branch has remained for several years without a refurbishemnt. Personally, I would recommend the Costa Coffee on the top floor of the nearby Royal Victoria Place shopping centre as it seems better maintained and more relaxing.
