Love this place. A great community hub. But lacking staff to provide quality service. The staff there are good and efficient and do their best during busy periods

I've been a customer of Costa Hythe since it first opened and I'm pleased to say that whenever I see Ellen is working I'm always happy. She is friendly yet efficient. She has been there from the start and is a real asset to the place.

Decent facilities and is extremely popular. Occupies two retail spaces, which isn't obvious from the outside, so normally there's enough room. Good quality coffee, and the staff members are very friendly and attentive. It gets busy so the tables are often in need of a clear when it gets busy. Pied a Terre area outside, especially for when the weather is more clement.

The staff here are great. It is just unfortunate that Costa has become too expensive for food. I wouldn't mind paying this price if the food was made that morning on site, but it is mass produced and packaged in plastic wrapping.

It was a cold november day and I foolishly thought pampering my wife and myself with a festive Black Forest + cream hot chocolate so went into this place and order it with plant based ‘oat’ milk. What I got its two paper cup. I asked about the cream suspecting its not there. Oh I was right no cream in it, after ask cream, the quite moody barista girl simple solution was drain out some hot chocolate from the cups and put some cream in it and closed the lid. Nice. No spoon, no napkins nothing. I had to ask two spoons as well. Even the hot chocolate was watery and doesn’t taste like the Black Forest, also doubted its oat milk based so I didn’t drink it, let the flies have it. £8.90 well spent, thank you Costa. My advice avoid this place.

I popped into Costa in Hythe today to grab a hot chocolate. When I went in, there were 2 other customers just receiving their takeaway drinks. No other customers seated that I could see. 1 staff member making drinks. Another staff member (who I assumed was the more senior) walking around. She walked up to the counter in front of me, didn't acknowledge me. Looked at the order for an uber collection that was due in 8 minutes. This sent her into a spiral. I spent about 3 or 4 minutes watching this spiral and listening to the venting. Two more customers joined the queue behind me. Still no acknowledgement from either staff member of the actual physical customers stood in their store. I gave up and walked out. The filthy look I received, through the window as I walked away, from the senior member of staff was the only acknowledgement of my visit that I received!

I was in this town watching the boats when suddenly I needed a coffee. I chose Costa as I know what to expect, a decent coffee at a decent price. This cafe has two entrances so it's important to know which one to use, the left hand side as you look at the shop. Tge coffee I drank was of a good quality however there was a lack of sophistication so I can only give 4 stars. This should not put people off, still very good indeed. Today I chose no cake as I wish to save money and reduce weight too, so i opt skimmed milk.

Disappointed to have used the Too Good To Go app 24hrs ago, prepaying for food at Costa Coffee Hythe, then driving, parking and walking here today, to find they decided to cancel my prepaid order an hour ago. So, no food available. Nothing else even offered as a gesture of goodwill. Added edit: To add insult to injury, I was pretty surprised to be standing outside Mamma Mia's half an hour later to see the same 2 staff members waltz past me with their own Costa bag of goodies. It looked like they did have my order available after all, but made an executive decision to keep it for themselves instead. Not a good look...

I'm sorry to say that the customer service was absolutely shocking, I could understand if the place was packed to the rafters with customers but there was only two people in the line including myself. The chap in front got served and then the barristers decided to have a chat amongst themselves, not even acknowledging my presence. I was gobsmacked at the lack of customer service.

Great coffee and tea as always. Staff pleasant. The building could do with a bit of spring clean. Our visit was somewhat spoilt by a small group of people at an adjacent table who wanted to share, at some volume and intensity, their particular viewpoint on an ongoing international military and humanitarian crisis without any due regard for the nationality or sensitivity. But there again we are lucky to live in a democracy.

The coffee is never consistent... Watery lattes, hardly any froth on cappuccinos and Luke warm. The majority of the staff are nice and helpful but think some need an injection of enthusiasm! And perhaps a refresher on what the coffee is meant to look like.

Nice cafe and always busy, spent longer queued that sat enjoying our cake and drinks. Staff are always friendly and professional, especially when they restart a drink on the order because they got it wrong. Took a couple of attempts for me to point it out as she was making it and question again when put on the tray for her to react. Finally she read the receipt and didn't make too much of a song and dance about it. I just felt a bit bad about the growing queue but they were all made aware that it was my rejected drink causing the delay. Didn't have to stay long, drinks weren't at any temperature that could cause a scald so we could wash down the rather nice cake easily and get on our way.

Our cappuccinos this morning weren’t up to your usual standard. Tasted a bit odd - maybe the milk got too hot or something? We had our first coffees from you for a long time a couple of weeks ago and they were excellent, so not what we expected today.

Very disappointing trip to Costa coffee today. We travelled to Hythe as they had 30% off the mobile orders using the app. Went into store and their system was down so you couldn't collect/use points, or get 30% off due to black Friday deal. The staff member working there got very defensive when asked whether they could still apply a discount or recommend how we could contact coffee about this. Poor experience and will not be returning to this branch.

I visited this Costa yesterday and while I am aware it was only an hour until closing I thought the staff were very unprofessional. My drink was not made fresh but poured from a jug already made on the side and they then went on to spend a solid 45mins-1hr complaining about how they should be getting promoted and that the person responsible was not doing anything about it. While I appreciate their disgruntled, this is not something a customer should be hearing! Very rude attitude towards management and generally inappropriate conversations to have in front of customers. Certainly made me as a customer uncomfortable.

Coffee good and I recommend the raspberry and white chocolate muffin. One slight moan. For my sins I smoke and there outside tables to use but not for smoking. Signs on tables no smoking so I suppose that will please some. Staff are very friendly and quick to serve. Well worth a stop if your in Hythe.

Pretty disappointing Sunday roast lunch experience. The menu on their website doesn't have any Sunday roast vegan options even though they say they cater to vegans. When I called to enquire, a general manager kindly spoke to the kitchen and returned my call to say that they were happy to make a vegan roast happen. When we arrived for lunch, the staff didn't seem to have any idea that this was possible. So much for regularly catering for vegan dietary requirements. The pub was not full and there were about 8 wait staff but we waited 45 minutes to have our order taken (after asking three times) and then another 50 minutes for our food to come. Given that bookings indicate that they want the table back after 2 hours, this kind of wait is both frustrating and makes the dining experience rushed and unpleasant. The quality of the food was average. They didn't have one of the vegan options the manager had told me they would, and the only available option (plant patty with roast vegetables) was pretty disappointing for the price. The non-vegan roasts were fine. In all, any vegan roast lunch option at all is a great effort, but it isn't yet part and parcel of the experience and their staff are poorly trained (and presumably underpaid).

These days every time I visit this place the coffee machine is broken. Seriously, it's a coffee shop that you can't get coffee from! This used to be my place to go as I was a regular at Nero's for years before moving to Lymington. What this poor experience has done though is open my eyes to some of the AMAZING independent coffee shops in Lymington 😀☕ I won't be going been to Nero's anytime soon
