Ordered a Black coffee not only did it come with milk inside it but also was luke warm. How bad do you have to be at your job to get coffee right.

There are quite a few Costas in the area but this is my go to one. I never have food hence the low score for that. My only gripe is people constantly coming in to use the toilets as the public ones close by charge a penny to spend a penny!

I had a latte at 3.10pm today, my friend paid £7 for two latte's. It's was terrible two much milk and luke warm, paying that much for coffee should be a lot better, this is the third time this has happened, I think the staff should pay more attention to serving customers.

If Costa knew how to make a good cup of coffee, I'd give them a better rating. However, the coffee is well over price, and quality is certainly not worth the expense.

Turned out to be a good place for breakfast three times . We didn’t want to indulge in the large and expensive breakfast in our hotel so chose this instead . We found there was plenty on offer for a light breakfast , M and S instant porridge or yogurt and granola , croissant or fruit . All very reasonable and served by a friendly person who remembered us when we turned up for the second time . Handy too for coach or bus travellers . Very clean and attractively furnished .

I absolutely love coming here whether before going to work or just want to sit and hang out with friends this costa has got you covered. I really like how it is so easy to get to if you are in town as it is a prime location as I walk passed it at least couple times a day. The staff are always friendly and helpful with any questions or concerns I may have. The coffee and tea itself is always made with care and to my liking. I honestly would recommend this place!

Her just talking and joking about how i must like caramel really made my day. I hope she sees this and knows that she made what would have been a really boring day a bit better.

The Costa Coffee bus station used to be friendly, warm welcome. Since things have slightly changed the coffee and the tea is NOT HOT as it used to be. Went in the other day and it was so SLOW. It used to be a little faster than that. Unfortunately, won't be visiting Costa bus station again I'm afraid. Not as clean or tidy as it was ages ago either. 👍 Just stating a honest opinion. Sorry guys. 👍 I understand you can go as fast as you can go because it's hot contents. But my goodness it has NEVER been that slow. Hardly any staff on shop floor with a que upto the door almost👀😬

Arrived early to meet someone from the train , went in about 6.35 (they close at 7) but they were clearing up and had tables blocking off the seating area. We were told we could still have coffee... but, wow, pretty clear they didn’t want to do it! They must be out of there at 7 sharp like the start of a sprint!

I visited this costa with my sister and her small baby and needed to use the baby changing facility which is in with the disabled loo. It was utterly disgusting. There was an old dirty toothbrush left on top of the bin. A carrier bag with what looked like underwear in under the baby changing unit (could have been soiled baby items) used tissues all over the floor by the loo, which it’s self was disgusting. The sink had god knows what grime around it. Had I have used the loos first I certainly wouldn’t have had the hot chocolate with (sour) cream!Will not use this facility again when there are nicer, friendlier Costa’s and independent cafes just around the corner.

Visited the Swansea Bus Station Costa at 7.50am on the 30th July 2018. As we take a dog with us we sit outside the cafe. It had only been open for 50 minutes, yet none of the staff appear to be able to complete a simple task if cleaning the floor/tables regularly (if at all).We regularly visit costa cafes and this has to be the worst ones to sit outside of. If I wanted to sit and have coffee in dirt surrounded by rubbish then this is the place i'd highly recommend.Don't know why the staff allow it to get to this state as not only is this venue inside and covered, but the rest of the bus station floor is spotless, come on costa, out with the marigolds !!

Costa coffee is always good, they do let themselves down on keeping tables cleared and cleaned. Costa need to employ more staff so that tables are swiftly cleared and cleaned. So often tables are cleared but not cleaned, then you pull out a chair and it’s covered in crumbs. Their tables also tend to be unsteady so that coffee spills into the saucer. They don’t even put napkins out for customers to use now, you have to ask for them. Many years ago they gave a little biscuit in the saucer, that was stopped. No biscuit, no napkin, what is next to go? Come on! They are not cheap!

Waiting for my train thought I would have breakfast as I was early. Disappointed to be told there was no butter for my toast. What company would be that disorganised that they would not have butter at breakfast time ? Maybe they should have offered my coffee for free. Not a good start to the day before a long train journey.

I love Costa coffee but here the coffee served was so disappointing, weak and tasteless.The Coffee shop did look quite untidy with lots of tables with empty cups still on them. We eventually left our half drunk cups and headed to Greggs for a take away coffee which was 100% better.

I am really disappointed with the costa chains, one I personally don't like the bitter bean that's being used in their coffee, another is they do not think of people with intolerances at all! I for one cannot eat anything with dairy and gluten, there fore I am stuck as are lots of other people, you would think in this day and age that a big company like this would be forthcoming with their choices for people like myself, hence this is why they have lost my custom, I have spoken to the staff, and said there is nothing as far as food available

said I would never again - but had no choice as friends had arranged meeting place - asked to have a clean tray and was told "it is clean just out of dishwasher" time before I was told they cannot go in the dishwasher - gosh all they need is a bit of elbow grease. I was frowned on by young man serving men for daring to complain - not what you expect or want when out for a social meeting and coffee with friends - BAD BAD - do Costa read these reviews - do they care!!

This review is for the Costa's in the QUADRANT Bus Station, (Tripadvisor have lumped Quadrant reviews in with other Swansea Costa's).Generally speaking, I really enjoy Costa's coffee but there is something wrong with the coffee in the Quadrant, every time I've had coffee here there is an unpleasant tang / aftertaste.I enquired at one of the other nearby Costa cafes if they could be using different coffee but was told no.It's a busy Costa's in a plum location, well decorated, nice & clean, lots of well-presented hard-working staff. What are they doing to taint the coffee?On 21 March 2016 this outlet was awarded an Optimum 5/5 Food Hygiene Rating, (Very Good).

I visit this particular Costa fairly regularly. The staff are always cheerful and pleasant but one particular team member went over and above today. I had to use the loo, but really loathe using public toilets. The first loo I looked in had water all over the floor. A young lady employee was nearby and I told her that one toilet was flooded. She immediately got a mop and bucket and cleared the majority of water, leaving a wet floor. She suggested I use the other loo, but being rather phobic of public loos, I looked at it and told the young lady that I didn't like the look of it. She asked if I would like her to clean it before I used it. Now that is service! The young woman's name is Nina, Costa should definitely give her an Employee of the Month award.

I'm a big fan of the Costa chain, they're pricey but the coffee is usually great, (I usually have a double espresso).The Quadrant coffee shop is pleasant, clean & staff are on the ball. I recently asked for an extra large Americano for a change, the Barista asked if I'd like to upgrade to the special roast for only 20p, insisting that "... it's well nice!"The drink was presented in a china bucket somewhat reminiscent of a chamber pot. Far from being 'well nice' the coffee was insipid with a very unpleasant tang & aftertaste.So thumbs up in general but thumbs down for the horrid 'special roast'.

Me and hubby don't really drink coffee but are big fans of the Costa Iced teas, so will often grab one if we are passing a Costa or make a trip to a local one in the summer to grab a refreshing drink. The Costa in Swansea bus station is a typical Costa, it is usually nice and clean, fast service, even though they are often busy, and generally friendly and helpful staff. We have used it lots of times and will continue too.The white chocolate and raspberry muffin is awesome too!

this was my first visit here in an age - girl making my coffee dropped the coffee mill on the floor and then promptly picked it up and proceeded to use it to make my coffee! I questioned her as to why it was being used - she flushed and said "oh ok" and put it aside. Surely if properly trained this would not have been issue - all in all not good - shame as some of the best coffee served here.

We like this particular Costa because it's situated within the busy bus depot in central Swansea. It's a great place to sip coffee and watch all the comings and goings of shoppers and commuters as they all pass by. Avoid busy times as the queues can be fairly long.

Three of us booked for Sunday lunch. Hubby and I chose the lamb, which was absolutely scrumptious. Grandson, who is vegetarian chose the nut roast (no other option). The selection of vegetables was okay - peas, carrots, cabbage and swede. An option of cauliflower cheese would have been nice - at an extra cost. It was however, disappointing not to have a Yorkshire pudding. It seems that they only come with the beef. My grandson in particular would have liked one - he didn’t have any roast potatoes either, which I think is ridiculous. It was a very tasty dinner with real gravy but for the price yorkies should have come as standard.

One of the few traditional pubs left in Mumbles and always a pleasure to visit. We've never had a bad meal there and the staff are always so pleasant. However, during the day time there is usually an older clientele who pop in to meet friends and have a chat over a meal and drinks, so is it recommended to play loud, inappropriate background music and sport on the telly while happy customers are trying to have a chat? Surely this can be tempered a little until the evening regulars arrive?

Called in a few time while shopping in the morfa, service is always slow due to lack of staff, tables always full of dirty trays, again due to lack of staff to clear them. Queue is always long and it’s always too warm in there. Prefer Morrisons cafe now.
