I went through the drive-through Costa and got just a medium decaf Cappuccino, cost £3.25 Though the Cappuccino was nice and hot, it tasted quite weak. Great customer service. The Costa is located on the Thinford Roundabout. Spennymore

I would just like to say Thank you so much to the kind, considerate staff at this branch. They are always extremely helpful and friendly....I'm delighted that they found my bank card and kept it in the safe . I'd returned within an hour of being not sure where I'd lost it, and completely dreading the worst. Well done Costa, I'm very grateful 🙏

Queued in the drive thru for a significant amount of time. The staff blamed the computer system (fair enough), they then got my order completely wrong. Problem with it being a drive thru is that I had already driven off before realising my drink was incorrect. Annoying that I paid for a more expensive drink than the one I received. If I have had to wait in a queue for that length of time at Starbucks then I get my drink free plus a voucher for a free drink in the future too. It's a shame since I generally prefer Costa to Starbucks.

It's safe to say that I'm a regular at this Costa 🤣 it's not the coffee that keeps me coming back, it's the staff 🧡 each and every one of them are absolutely lovely and will always make time for their customers and they all make a pretty damn good coffee haha! Costa - you need to give this team the recognition they deserve because I have never come across a team like it and no matter what day I have had, they always seem to make it better 🧡

I absolutely love coming here for my iced coffees, the staff are always lovely. The only reason I cannot give 5* is because more often than not there are chunks of ice that are too big to sip up the straw and I have to fish them out 😅 but yeah it's always tasty, but sometimes I cannot drink it because shards of ice get jammed in my straw.

Still trying to understand how a bread roll can be soft if it’s toasted. Ask for bacon or sausage to be well cooked bread is always toasted and rock hard, not as advertised at all but keeps on happening

I was really disappointed with my order as I am Coeliac and cannot eat food containing gluten. I ordered my partner the tiffin and a toasties which of course are containing gluten which is fine. For myself I ordered just a coffee and a gluten free brownie. These are ALWAYS packaged individually to ensure no cross contamination. What arrived was not gluten free and instead was a regular caramel brownie which I could not eat.

We are advocates for Costa and rate their coffee the best. However, Costa Durham had not only filthy toilets and drab interior but you felt unwelcome as a customer from the start. Perhaps it’s not the staffs problem but the training. The way you are treated ‘because of the covid rules’ is so headmistress like and abrupt ...not like other places where the welcome is so much more friendly and they put you at ease. Such a shame as coffee is as always excellent. Could do with a facelift your competition locally are doing a much better friendlier job. Do some mystery shopping and see. Costa toastier also excellent & good value

Acabo de tener un fabuloso almuerzo de domingo en el pegajoso pub wicket, no nos dimos cuenta de que había un pub en el estadio del club de cricket Durham hasta anoche cuando asistimos al evento de fuegos artificiales (que fue excelente) Tiendo a sentirme un poco decepcionado por los almuerzos de domingo que salimos, ya que siento que podría hacer mejor a la mitad del precio que cobran algunos lugares, pero no en esta ocasión, la calidad / porciones eran excelentes, el precio era más que razonable... nos costó £ 55 para 1 entrante, 1 adulto cena de ternera, 1 adulto cena de pavo y 1 niño cena de pollo (porción no era mucho más pequeña que los adultos) y un Mars bar brownie desert que se veía increíble, que también incluía 3 bebidas, definitivamente volveremos ... gracias a Luke y Neve que aparentemente fueron los cocineros hoy!

Chaotic. Queue to the door because the customer at the till couldn't get their card to work. Food going to incorrect tables - customer next to us actually accepted food they hadn't ordered and the correct customer had to claim it back from in front of them. Too many items on the menu entitled 'of the day ' (soup, filled hot bap, panini, etc) with no indication of what the filling is. Staff at counter do not know either. At 14.10 the soup has run out. Staff at till totally stressed out. Probably a bad day but a couple of simple actions could make it so much better... PS menu is on a TV screen which changes so quickly that a group of 3 or more will take an extra 15 minutes to just decide which item to discover is no longer available.
