Costa Coffee in Powys

It's Costa come on who doesn't know about this place

Good coffee bit dark inside no atmosphere

I use only costa it's a very good tasting coffee the staff are friendly the shop is clean and has a good investment

The staff are always very friendly & helpful. This Costa is one of the best l have visited including the coffee being nice & hot and not luke warm.

Always a well made coffee from here.

Staff are great, bubbly and helpful. Always top notch.

Bit expensive but hot. Lovely to see blackforset hot chocolate back again.

An amazing Costa and an amazing coffee shop. The staff are wonderful and the venue is full of comfy, clean seating. Highly recommended, especially for those with little ones 😁

Excellent customer service friendly staff with a smile that makes lovely coffee. A great Costa in Newtown will be back here on our return.

Fabulous staff, fantastic coffee wouldn’t know what I would do without my Newtown costa team round the corner!

Alex the manager and most staff are amazing, my morning coffee on a Friday after my Nightshift is the highlight of the week. Alex is a true asset to Costa, his coffee is always excellent, happy to make it hotter if taken away if you ask. The foods were okay prepackaged so not to the control of staff but always presented nicely. The atmosphere made by the staff is friendly and upbeat. A little dark in there but something HQ needs to invest in tarting it up.

Fantastic little Costa. Customer service from the management and staff is top level. Nothing too much trouble. My elderly parents are treated like royalty and looked after so well. Highly recommend a visit. 10/10

Great little coffee shop, very nice staff, nice atmosphere excellent coffee, I will be a regular visitor.

We enjoyed our visit to this Costa

Very smart and tidy Costa outlet, with plenty of indoor seating and very good service and of course a good range of drinks from Costa.

Not impressed the coffee was tasteless even though l ordered a latte with an extra shot 🌷😥

Slow service took 20 minutes to get a quick coffee, the place itself is unkept, the seats/furniture has not been looked after properly. All air con units are leaking and stuffed with paper towel. The place as a whole is grubby if your are a Costa fan, I would not come here as you’d only be left disappointed.

Dog friendly, staff ideal, good coffee.

Staff are pleasant but they don't seem to clear tablets. The one barrister is excellent and always remember my preference.

We were served by a person called Jordan (I think, if I glanced their name badge correctly) they were extremely helpful, thorough and friendly. Saved 50% on our food items (4 desserts, a wrap and pizza bread) so a cheap and very cheerful visit! Will look forward to returning!

What a good call popping into Costa Newtown today! I'm starting to try alternatives to dairy, and asked about the soya milk option and had a really helpful chat and a sample of the 'Ultimate Blend' that Costa use, which was lovely. Thank you for the help and fab coffee!

Coffee very nice. Staff pleasant although one member of staff was very preoccupied & annoying while serving on the till...

Called in this morning after a run with a friend. Cannot fault the friendliness of the staff in today. First class on all levels and lovely and cosy atmosphere. Perfect start to a Sunday or any other day! 👏 10/10

Great atmosphere, quick service and friendly staff

Friendly staff, nice and clean :)

Unfortunately for us, today's lunch experience in our local Costa wasn't how we usually find it. Extremely slow service due to only one person serving behind a very busy lunchtime counter on her own, juggling making coffee, warming food & taking the orders. She really did need back up and we really felt for her. There was no decaf coffee or toasted tea cakes which was quite a disappointment for me but certainly not her fault. After choosing our food we sat down to one of the only tables that had been cleared of crockery. We noticed that the general cleanliness and up keep of the upholstered seats had seen better days which is a shame because the whole place used to be so clean & tidy. Our food was OK but for me it wasn't the best experience I'd had. Not too sure if we will be going back but am very aware that I believe all of the issues are down to being short staffed. Have to add to these comments that we actually tipped the server as we felt so sorry for her & she was doing the best job that she could in circumstances that could have been avoided.

Gotta say...... Impressed. This is the ONLY time I've visited a Costa where the barista warmed the cup before pouring. It made a huge difference. Only thing I don't understand tho'. ... Why add the espresso to the steamed milk? I always add the milk to the Espresso. Much better effect ... Crema on top. Latte art if you want to present it well.

Poor service didn't co-ordinate food and drink - although staff friendly enough they need to keep their eye on the job!

Service poor. Tables filthy. Employees miserable. Service slow and condescending. Will not be rushing to return to that particular branch.

Need to sort the air con units, like a fridge and leaking everywhere, all over table and chairs! Door always open so not very cosy! Coffee very hit and miss lately, very often just not hot🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

I admit a part of me doesn’t want to like coffee from Costa because it’s not ‘cool’ and indie but their cortado is actually a really good option. That said, this branch lost points when having asked for whole milk in my coffee, they tried to use semi-skimmed because they couldn’t be bothered to go out the back for more whole milk.

Worst service iv ever had to deal with in a costa!waiting over 30mins just to order without a queue definitely wont have my custom again

Forgot half my order .... Which is pathetic when I only ordered 2x drinks .. stating I wanted a cup of tea 3x .. I never usually use them due to the time and costs ... Shocking .....not so sure I will again....

I love a good costa coffee. Sadly this is not a good costa coffee, i won't be going back. I will say staff were friendly, However the place was dirty, very dirty. Moved 3 times due to dirty tables and chairs, look liked nobody had cleaned for days. Sat on settee eventually, but one of the seats were dirty, wife took cushion off to wipe it down and wow, the mess under there turned my stomach over, then noticed spoons for lattes were dirty just as i was about to put in my cup and stir, drinks lukewarm, should have realised there was a issue with the amount of flies in there. Toilets were no better. Both me and wife have had upset stomach since visiting. Dont know if its a franchise or owned by Costa, either way it needs sorting out

Friendly staff and a good selection of teas and coffees and snacks

Costa coffee don't just sell coffee. The after sales service is spot on.

Good drinks, friendly staff, clean and nice atmosphere

Had a great experience today at the Newtown store. Great customer service, friendly and helpful. Ordered a hot chocolate, served fast. Offered a Costa App card too. Definitely recommend a visit.

Clean and tidy. A very happy young guy served us, he never stopped working all the time we were there. Excellent quick lunch. I had a smoothie and a beans and cheese toasties, very tasty.

Can’t fault the guys in Costa, Newtown. Service is first class, so friendly and helpful and welcoming. Drink was perfect. Started the day off just right!

As normal lovely coffee ☕️, great staff with enthusiasm and characters 😀

Good quick service. Very friendly staff.

Had a nice hot chocolate, staff really friendly.

Quick service, lovely staff. Place is always neat and tidy.

Think we must of visited on a training day , drinks tasted ok but were not hot. Confusion on how to use the till . Toilet was very unclean . Seemed staff on day were new and still had alot to learn. Other than that seating areas clean and tidy.

Jamie is a great lad to have a laugh with

Very polite people happily go again

We turned up, had coffee, toasted sandwiches and left. The staff were friendly, quick to serve us and the food was what we expected. It was clean, tidy and warm. Some people have delusions of grandeur when using franchise chains. They are a functional outlet that help us out when we need a fix. Cut the basic wage staff a break and appreciate it for what it is. We were quite satisfied with our experience.

Worked there for a little over a month…never again don’t recommend it to anyone, i always wanted to be a barista but now i’ve decided to change career paths entirely…thanks chris

Wouldn't normally opt for Costa as a first choice but it was the only place open that would allow dogs. 6 of us, plus a baby and a dog huddled in on a rainy day .. the male barista advised he was the only one in that day. What a trooper he even showed up! Super calm with a queue behind us and great customer service. We were just a mere snapshot of his day and if he carried that enthusiasm and attitude through the day then he deserves a medal. Thank you!

Slow staff not paying attention gave me a takeaway cup and pouch for food when I asked said I was eating in

Worst Costa I’ve ever been to: extremely slow service and my coffee didn’t even taste like coffee after a 30 minute wait.

That sexy barista Seren is my favourite

Great vibe in the cafe. Lots of space and decent seating, hard to get wrong with Costa. Toilets exceptionally clean which pleased me!

Great service, willing to let us stay to eat in even though they were closing, extra special customer service, really recommended

Staff were lovely and coffee was perfect! Lots of effort went into making the wonderful coffee

First time been in - lovely Staff - but £2.95 for a Latte doesn't really encourage repeat visits

Have been here twice. First time took forever, second time I walked out after being totally ignored at the counter for 5 minutes.

Very friendly ginger hairs barista. Made good coffe and non coffee drinks. Also had a very nice kitkat muffin. Wanted a white iced mocha, she advised that sadly they had ran out of white sauce. Offered an alternative which were helpful. Ended up having a strawberry lemonade as I wanted a refresher after my iced cappuccino

Lovely little Costa, there’s plenty of seating and as with any Costa there’s a huge selection of drinks available.

The staff are always really friendly.

I was getting a bit bored with Costa stuff but this coffee shop was the only place still serving coffee, snacks and cakes after 17.00 in Newtown Powys. But the staff were brilliant, friendly, chatty and helpful. I'll always go here now regardless of the other options.

Awful customer service. Staff are selective on who they do track and trace on. Staff are also getting into arguments with customers (today 2/8/21 around 3pm) an incident with customers who were clearly from the south of England over the fact local customers were allowed to drink in.without doing track and trace? But staff were refusing to serve them without track and trace due to the lack of a Newtown accent ?? This is unacceptable. And could leave Costa open to legal action if this doesn’t get looked into? Track and trace for all customers drinking in should be done. Not a free pass to locals. and refuse to serve non locals wishing to drink in ? Incredible. I didn’t fair too well on a previous visit here myself. But thought I’d try again only to witness the above chaos? My previous visit is below.. Staff eating a sandwich while serving me on the till. Bad enough yes? Worse though. The short young lady serving me only put the sandwich she had consumed on my bill until i requested my receipt?? And spotted it. Eating on tills. Refusing to serve customers. Groaning when customers ask for a receipt? No hello.. no basic manners? Where do they find the staff at this branch? Shame. As i like the products. But won’t return here. As staff here clearly shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near customers. They have zero customer service skills.

Always a joy to visit this coffee shop. Friendly staff and good food choices

Good set up for covid rules and staff polite enough.

Really good coffee and lovely staff.

Love the coffe staff r so polite

Visited today (4 December 2020 - 08.15) and had an excellent experience. As it was quite early there was initially only one member of staff working but the lady was extremely professional and friendly. I was promptly served. She asked to me to log in to track and trace and even offered to help me if I had any problems accessing the system. The lady was so cheerful and chatty, she brightened my day. The cafe is operating safely under the Covid19 regulations and the cafe was exceptionally clean, I felt reassured and safe. Other reviewers have mentioned that the cafe is dark. I think the lighting is subtle and wouldn’t want anything brighter otherwise it would feel like a supermarket cafe. I will definitely use this coffee shop in preference to other cafes in the town. The customer service was superb.

Friendly staff, nice clean place, 4 stars because Costa is generally quite overpriced. But I can't fault this particular branch.

The quality of produce is very good hence very busy. The service is good and a nice hospitality experience.

Love this place it does the best coffee and has a lovely atmosphere so you can chill and read the paper. Staff are amazing and work so hard and keep calm even when there are queues fair play. They do an amazing job 👍

Nice chilled out atmosphere coffee good

Coffee is always good but the service is always very slow.

Always a nice latte, sandwiched cakes good too.

The staff were struggling to cope with the volume of customers, short staffed maybe...? Nice little venue, will give it a second chance.

Guys behind the counter very friendly, great cup of coffee and try the seeded toast and marmalade 😋 and also your clothes smell of coffee for the rest of the day which is always a plus.

Stopping off in Newtown on boxing day, we weren't expecting to find much open, but Costa Coffee was luckily. Nice Costa, just over the Welsh border, in an old building with bags of character and low ceilings! Since it was a quiet bank holiday, only one barista on duty, but still served quickly with a smile. Hardly any comfy sofas now, but found one at the back. Good latte and sandwich - though no gluten free options!

Great coffee as always. Place was spotless as were the loos! Super...

Nice place to meet for a coffee.

1st time I went in the male barista was painfully slow, a customer was basically flirting with him, pouring her own milk and all that and chatting for ages, I ended up walking out as we were the only 2 people and I wasn’t gonna waste my time waiting for someone to flirt. 2nd time my frostino wasn’t even icey, it was a thin liquid. I’d avoid this place too slow and they don’t know how to make their stuff properly

A Costa Coffee does like it says on the label. Great place for coffee etc and eats. Love it.

Large cafe with lots of seating layout options. Enjoyed a good mocha and cake in peaceful surtoundings.

Friendly Staff. Lovely Coffee food

Everything you expect from Costa and they never fail to please

Staff member that served us today was extremely polite and patient. A credit to Costa

The menu is pretty much what you'd find anywhere else in the chain and similarly priced. The inside area is a decent size with disabled access to one side and ramping indoors. It has a pleasant, comfortable feel to it and is clean and well-kept, as it's fairly new. There is disabled parking on the street directly opposite the cafe.

Lovely cup of coffee sat outside in the sun

Very dark and dismal inside, needs better lighting. Very much a standard Costa, but I won't visit again because of the atmosphere.

Expensive, especially the food but good coffee

Awful coffee. Sat outside with dogs on terrible seating not at all a nice time. Try local coffee shops much better and I am normally a big Costa fan

I think we needed that in our town. I mean i love the 'local' independent coffee selling places but its good to have a choice. And nothing beats a costa hot chocolate on a cold day...

Painfully slow. Get staff who can work at speed. Avoid.

Hardworking efficient male staff, nice decaf soya mocha

Welcoming staff always inNewtown Costa.consistent quality of drinks.

Visited during a recent work trip to Newtown and ate lunch here one day. I had Mac and cheese with the banana and walnut cake. Both were tasty and reasonably priced. the service was quick and staff friendly.

Always amazing friendly experience, service is great! Lovely staff. My complete happy place! 💕 Never a bad experience. :)

Great place for coffee a cake and a chat

Took a bit of time, but very nice well presented coffee

Thanks Haf. Sorry we were early!
