Some Costa coffee shops have poorly trained staff, awful hygiene standards, inexcusable bad coffee making and dirty. But Sudbury town centre Costa delivers better standards and all but one staff member can make a decent flat white.

We went into Costa coffee today Friday 13th sept…..no that’s no not applicable in this case , the staff were really friendly and each of the three young ladies who served me entered into a little chat. How nice that was….thank you.

Personally we love their coffee, the food isn't too bad either. The staff are friendly although I think it's very much under staffed as its not as clean as it use to be. The outside area is so full of weeds, a huge broken umbrella which broke last summer & is still there, over flowing ash trays & filthy tables & this is such a shame, could be a very nice place to sit otherwise.

Popped in this morning. Staff too busy talking to a colleague that had clearly popped in for a chat. No bread or confectionery. Was given a small in my reuse cup, so when I apologised for interrupting the barista's conversation to ask for a bit more milk, I was stared at, and had my cup filled to the medium cup it was whilst the barista blank faced continuing to stare at me! Awful customer service! If you don't want to work in retail then I suggest you get a different job!

Been to many costa's but this coffee shop is huge. Wasn't at all busy and received my drink within seconds which goes to my local where I have to wait ages and extremely friendly staff. However, having explored the area, returned back for lunch which again was good service but the toilet on the other hand was disgusting so minus 1 star.

I know it's a chain and you should support local businesses. But their coffee is so much better here. The staff sre slways smiling and happy to serve. Extra points if the ever cheerful Lauren is serving. Also it beats the other chain coffees in town as it is spacious, doesn't feel like they have crammed as many seats in as possible to the point of uncomfortable.

have to be honest, think this is probably the first time we have visited Costa but I got a £5 voucher from a draw at work. We were surprised at the queue and ended up waiting over 10 minutes for the Latte, Espresso and the two paninis we ordered, they did seem under staffed but we were a bit fed up by the time we got our order - but we then found they have a lovey outdoor space at the back - it was a lovely sunny day so we spent a lot longer than expected enjoying our coffee/food, so much we got another coffee and some carrot cake which we both said was one of the best we have had. Would have given 5 out of 5 if not for the wait -

Had to wait 20 mins in the queue to get served...wish I hadn't bothered. Coffee was awful..tasted burnt, about 2 inches worth of coffee in the paper takeaway cup for sitting in due to staff shortage apparently , probably the worst coffee I've had this year..worse than Love Toast which is saying something! Back to Neros I think...

It's a Costa coffee, they're all the same. This one was located in the high street and therefore was convenient. Plenty of obvious covid measures in place. We were served quite quickly. The coffee and cakes that we had were after normal costa standard,. That is good but short very good. The prices were reasonable. This was my third or fourth visit and I'll be happy to go back again.

I went into costa for coffee with a friend, I asked how long their track and trace was valid I was abruptly told by the female behind counter, she replied she didn’t know maybe 2 or 4 hours, I asked her if she was angry, she replied she was fed up with people being rude to her, considering the current climate maybe someone more polite should have job, this is certainly my last visit and I’m a visitor to the town, but friends who live here agreed

Went in today, was served by a chap called Ryan, clearly doesn't want to be there, really bad attitude. Ordered a hot chocolate I asked to have in, and he proceeded to put it into a take away cup, I quickly said that I wanted it to have in, he huffed and poured the whole drink, cream and all into a hot chocolate glass and poured a ton of chocolate powder on it and gave it to me. The cream had sunk to the bottom and the chocolate was pouring down the sides, it resembled a coke float rather than a hot chocolate. Shocking!

Massively deteriorated of late. I came today as husband insisted and within 2 minutes wishes I had gone my own way to Cafe Nero. Last time I was in here the area manager was in and heard to be discussing the endless bad reviews they have had of late. It's made no concernable difference. The staff need bullets up their backsides and to stop wittering amongst themselves. The heating needs serious review, it's always cold and the toilets are filthy. How the kitchen can permently be staffed whilst there's a queue ever growing and still they run out of China is beyond me. Other Costas are still my preferred coffee stop, but this branch is diabolical. Therefore the staffs constant insistence that they cannot manage since the Cola Cola Corp took over, from Whitbreads, just doesn't wash. Shame, as I used to be a regular in the better days.

Incredibly poor experience. Staff seemingly didn't know what they were doing, and the preparation environment was one of the worst I've ever seen! The staff didn't know which of the 20 metal jugs they were using on each drink, struggled to find anything they needed to make the drink, and a new mess was created about every 10 seconds! On top of that, they somehow managed to lose track of what drinks they were meant to be making! And when it came to the end, my drink must've been overfilled with cream, because putting the cap on the container caused it to spill over. It was all extremely unprofessional.

Probably one of the largest Costa’s I have visited. Despite a search for a good independent coffee shop in Sudbury, we ended up (as we often do) in a Costa.Friendly and relatively quick service - usual eats. Mixture of dining type chairs and a few comfy sofa type with low coffee tables.Although the decor looked of the newer style, some parts looked a little tired (but that didn’t detract from our overall experience!

It was market day in this lovely town. Being market day I wasn't sure that it would be very easy to find somewhere to sit and have a coffee, so I was pleased to find Costa Coffee, my favourite chain.I'd never been here before and though busy, a lot of customers were buying drinks to take out. The narrow frontage didn't give any clue about the room inside...it stretched quite away back from the entrance and there were plenty of seats.The queue of customers was being served quickly and efficiently by the two staff behind the counter. My order was taken and I paid by debit card. I was about to go to my table when 'Lauren', the very helpful and 'on the ball' young lady who had served me noticed that I had forgotten my debit card which was still in the card reader!The coffee and cake were well up the usual high Costa standard, and I can thoroughly recommend this outlet, which I think must be a recent addition to the town. Both Lauren and her male co-worker seemed cheerful in their work which in turn 'infects' their customers as evidenced by the way they in turn responded to these two.Thanks again Lauren for saving me from losing me debit card...it would have spoilt my trip to Sudbury and caused a lot of inconvenience!

We had not intended visiting Costa Coffee, but in the end, we were forced to. All the ‘independent tea rooms’ in the town closed up shop very early in the afternoon leaving us with no option.
