Whilst I like a Costa Coffee, I can't help noticing that a lot of their establishments are getting tired. Unfortunately, this one comes under that catergory. Friendly staff.

Shop’s nice and clean and any other time I’d give the place a good review but the lady on the till today was so miserable I just don’t think I’ll return. Had the same experience with her before, I know customer service is rough and you never know what someone’s going through but when visits are spaced apart and it’s the same service? :/

Single handedly one of the most dead venues in Lowestoft, which seems incredibly hard to beat considering most of the high street is astronomically dead. Tables are sticky with spilled coffee and reek with a stench akin to swamp water, likely from reused cleaning equipment. Disabled toilet at the back of the shop is constantly propped open to allow for the pungent smell of discarded body waste to waft through the shop. Upstairs is also never open. The staff are nothing short of rude and disinterested, and give off a very harsh high school bully clique kind of vibe. Absolutely atrocious place to eat and every time I come here I feel nauseous. Finding myself often getting over charged for things as simple as a pump of extra syrup. Very unfortunate as this place could be really lovely with genuinely nice staff members and a good, harsh clean. Definitely would not recommend anyone go here if they don't want to feel sticky and sick by the end of their visit. : )

I drop in once a month, and I'm always impressed by the attitude of the staff in this branch. Last week, I dropped in on the way to a meeting, and realised they had a few new drinks on the menu but having forgotten my glasses, I couldn't make out what they were. The barista not only read out what the new frappes were, but offered their suggestions and described each one - left with a Blueberry Bubble Frappe, which is definitely a new favourite!

Service is good and the quality of coffee is to the usual standard of any costa store. The toilets of the cafe are abused by the local undesirables which can really ruin both your experience and appetite. So recommend taking your purchases upstairs away from those constantly popping in to use the lavatories

Came in with my mum and sisters I was left feeling very disappointed! It took 10 minutes to get our drinks.. which were only Luke warm when we finally got them.. We were not greeted at all. No smile.. no conversation it just felt like we were an inconvenience going in there.. not one table was cleared in the 45 minutes we were in there never mind what we had to move from a table just to sit down.. the upstairs was blocked off even while it was very busy we even noticed that people were leaving again as they could not get a seat. However.. a member of staff said to one customer.. (guessing a friend of theirs) they could sit upstairs as long as they put the barrier across the stairs again behind them.. while it was very busy the manager sat having her lunch.. watching people move dirty cups and trays so they could sit down one man even took a tray into the private area so he could sit!! Not what I’d expect from costa standards.. just a personal point.. but it would have been nice to see a Christmas tree or decorations somewhere too..

We asked for our order to go out and we saw the girl was making to drink in I also saw she was making the wrong order so when I pointed out that we wanted our order to take out and that she was making the coffee the young blonde girl refused to give us eye contact and really Rudely ordered her colleague to make the right coffee she then almost threw our order at us !!! I am a bank manager and if one of my staff had acted like that they would be rep remanded ... Go in here if you wish but get the older lady with glasses to serve you as the young girl didn't like to be nice !!! That said the coffee was hot and nice just a shame about the rude server

I recently met a friend in town and we decided to have a coffee and a chat in what we thought was going to be nice surroundings BUT we were sadly mistaken. The condition of the interior was disgusting because everywhere you turned there were massive patches of filler staring at you. There was a group of six elderly ladies sitting on the table next to us who made the comment, "this reminds me of the blitz". There was no sign up apologising for the state of the place if it was in the process of being decorated. The place has been like it now for a while, and if it was closed for a couple of days then the coffee shop could be decorated to the exceptionally high standard like the other Costa coffee shop in the town.

As we walked out the doorway my G/Son slipped & the drink went all down his side. As it was in the doorway it was rather a mess so i returned to ask for a cloth & stated that they might want to mop it up before someone else slips. The staff were friendly but as my G/son was crying it would have been nice if someone had asked if he was ok, a couple of customers did.

This place is in an industrial estate and a refreshment desert. It is near Lidl, a cheap supermarket outlet, so it is not obviously placed in the best bit of town. Having said all that it is an incredible find. Of all the Costas I have ever visited this one stands out for its efficiency and overall experience. Maybe they have had an injection of enthusiasm or whatever but the place runs like clockwork. The cleanliness of the place, even the bathrooms, is to be admired and it is a very busy place - obviously the word has spread
