OK Costa but don't expect to have a relaxing drink as the main batista is so loud. Even his talking voice is grating and there's nowhere to hide as he bellows constantly. Sorry but spoilt my morning coffee.

There’s a male member of staff who thinks he’s some sort of comedian and wants the whole store to hear him giving a running commentary. Unfortunately he’s not that smart and ends up screwing up drinks orders. If he calmed down and concentrated on his job he might be useful.

Not impressed today. 3 members of staff behind the full and took them over 5 minutes to even acknowledge I was there Then when I said to one of them "you should acknowledge customers even if you are busy" never even got an apology. There are 3 customers sat down and 6 tables need clearing. I darent tell them my coffee is only like warm

We come here semi-regularly, and was recently served by a barista by the name of Nathan and they are quite literal ray of sunshine and put me in a lovely mood. It's close to dorchester south so always pop in for a drink and snack before our train. Highly recommend

Queues are either too long or service is super slow. Today they didn't have the drink I was after, in a heatwave with a one year old. A sign saying sold out would have been appreciated to avoid a long disappointing wait.

Costa is normally my go-to for a high street coffee as it's predictable and familiar to me. This particular one has the normal high standard of food. No fault to the staff, but often slow as can be busy, as it's by the train station. Not one I would sit in either, but often get takeaway to and from town if waking past

The train was delayed by 40 minutes so went in this Costa by Dorchester South station for a coffee but couldn't sit down as the chairs & tables were blocked off and the man at the counter said cant sit in this time of day, was only 3:45pm so Costa lost a sale as staff getting ready to go home long before the Costa coffee store shut, can't rely on Costa to be open in Dorchester, coffee Nero in Dorchester don't pack their chairs & tables away untill they shut, brewery square Costa very poorly run

Might be helpful if the hours on the website were accurate. Actually opens 45 minutes later than advertised, you would think they would want to make the most of the commuter trade as it's directly next to the train station.

Only 2 staff mid morning and they were fairly slow (pleasant though). The gingerbread latte came, with no gingerbread syrup, so was just a latte with cream ontop didn't taste very nice. Would have returned but queues were too big. My friend had a bacon roll but the bacon dropped out before being put on the grill and it was just dumped back in. Not very appealing. For the cost it was disappointing. On a brighter note the cake selection looked amazing and it was clean.

The poor staff here get my 5 stars. Only three of them trying to fulfill all shop customers orders yet Costa has installed one of those awful internet tickers for people too damn lazy to get off their backsides to get a coffee. The poor staff have to deal with a busy site next to a train station versus waiting delivery couriers vs keeping the place clean. Come on Costa - the shop customer MUST take priority and fulfillment for lazy internet users must be seperate. You will drive your staff into the wall as they get negativity from shop customers when trying to fulfill web orders. I was next in line to place my order yet the poor barista had to prepare FOUR iced frappes for a web order. Not good if you are due to catch a train. Costa - you need to sort this.

I'm not a massive Costa fan as there coffer is bland. However, as I don't know Dorchester too well and I was about to go on a long train journey, i went in. The guy making the coffee couldn't be any lazier if he tried. He just lent against the furniture and was slow. The young colleague said 'you're so slow, you're like a snail'. He hadn't made a latte right and it tasted horrid; undrinkable Honestly, go elsewhere and support a local business. This place has issues.

after ordering clearly to the female barista she then proceeded to not once but twice make me a drink with regular milk as a pose to soya milk, after explaining i had a severe lactose intolerance. she then was unfriendly and was quite rude towards me. i don’t usually write a bad review but felt in this case that my safety was at risk and that it was extremely rude. she also got my friends order wrong, and failed to make my drink decaf also.

Closing time but just nipped in before barista shut down. It's your classic Costa, steam steam gurgle gurgle whoosh chocolate on top? Yes please. Type of place. Inadvertently top a circuitous route to find it from the carpark over the main road..... Go right NOT left passed the cinema..... Save yourself the walk, and get a Danish as a reward for not hiking the Dorchester trail to get to it. Funny manager and support crew, oh nice coffee as always.
