I have visited Costa last week but i have been very disappointed,i have a Costa reward 1 free coffee but they take my reward and also charge me for the coffee ,so what is the point of having beans if it's been taken away!

Staff knowledge pretty shocking, shop dirty, coffee didn't even taste of coffee. We use Costa a lot but won't visit this branch again

Went into Costa Didcot for a latte, bubble tea, cinnamon bun and brownie. They were extremely busy, but despite this, the guy with pink hair was making the drinks at the same time as teaching new staff, but he was still extremely welcoming, polite, and friendly with all customers even though he was completely rushed off his feet. New staff were also helpful and smiley. Well done! Great service!

Best cafe in Didcot. Great spot to get work done. They finally have wifi, which resolves many of the complaints below. The staff and management (Chami) are very friendly and welcoming. There seems to be a good lot of regulars here. Much better vibe compared to competitors around the corner.

I can't say enough wonderful things about this Costa. As a regular customer, I've had the pleasure of experiencing their exceptional service and delicious drinks time and time again. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, and they have good WiFi, making it the perfect spot to get work done. A special shout out to the Manager, Chami, for being an all-around lovely person!

Booked a timed collection slot through click and collect. Toasties overcooked on one side and soggy/undercooked on the other. Cream had already melted on hot chocolate. I think our lunch had been prepared quite a while before our collection time and just left on top of the counter (where anyone could have picked it up). I regret now I didn't check food/drink before I left the shop as I would have asked for it to be redone. Lesson learnt!

The usual Costa Coffee experience. Although they had about 5 members of staff at the counter I had to go back in to get my toastie and what was worse the women who took it out of the oven just left it on the counter! At least in Newbury or Hungerford they actually call you back or bring it over to you.

Awful experience. Things always go down hill when you have a lousy manager and cluless and lazy workers with no dedication. Boxing Day. They close 4pm. We arrive 20 minutes to 4pm and three very young ladies tell us sorry we cannot make you coffee because we close at 4 and we are cleaning the machines. They say the manager told them to do so. Closing at 4pm means you start cleaning and stop making coffee at 4pm not at 3:30. The ladies agree with us but they say they have to listen to the manager. This is really bad for Costa and I will make sure they hear about it. Seems to me like very bad management with clueless staff who just all want to go home. Fair enough except that the three staff at the Starbucks down the road were still working hard and making coffee for customers and they also closed at 4pm.

Ordered 2 drinks which took nearly 10 minutes to appear. Customers after us received theirs first. The queue was to the door. Looks like they're too interested in taking orders rather than customer satisfaction. No clean tables. If Costa Didcot had any idea then they would supply somewhere for the customer to clear their tables. Such an appalling shop with no leadership. Starbucks from now on.

Just poor service, empty in the cafe but refused to give me a mug? I paid £3.70 to drink out of a paper cup when I asked several times for a mug? Apparently they can’t be bothered to clear tables and so don’t give out mugs, I pointed out that this is a massive waste of plastic and most of the plastic cups won’t be recycled as they’re going in the landfill bin not recycling. But they weren’t having it? Why can’t you just pay for a drink and get it in a mug? Next time I’ll go to Starbucks or Boswell around the corner as they always give out mugs for drink in.

What appeared to be untrained and inexperienced staff. Food average; all served in "takeaway" materials; no plates, no cups. After people left, tables were not cleared for a long time, and then were not cleaned, ready for the next customer.

Terrible wait in this coffee shop. Staff not aware of queue going out the door. No one hurried to do anything. Tables not cleared. No evidence of wipe down due to covid restrictions. I for one am fed up with this attitude: we'll staff our shops with untrained staff, pay them not a lot and customers can do one. Shame on you.

Went in on a Sunday and ordered no problem. Sat down waiting for coffee which took over 10 minutes because the "trainee supervisor" (Kane) was talking to his friends over the counter stood at the coffee machine. While waiting he sent one of his members of staff round at 2:30 to let everyone know they are closing at 4 which is ridiculous that you get told they close in a hour and a half. Finally got mine and my Mum's coffee and then the trainee supervisor comes out and asks people to move towards the entrance as he wants to close down half the store (it has approx 20 tables). My Mum then refused and the trainee supervisor got in her face and was talking to her using names like my love and darling and waving his arms about. This made my Mum uncomfortable and she told him this. He then tried to kick us out. Amazes me that Costa prices are so high and over priced and yet when it comes to staff, they scrap the bottom of the barrel...

Generally good coffee with a great range. The decor is cosy and welcoming and the staff are friendly. One little point that keeps it from being a 5 star review is that the cappuccino can sometimes have an poor ratio of froth to espresso, so you end up with too much froth.

First time eating here. Food was very tasty and good value for money. Wasn't too busy so didn't have to wait too long for the food. Just a shame the service let it down. The member of staff with blonde hair made no effort to smile or make eye contact at any point, either at the bar or serving food, which made one feel like an inconvenience. Not a very welcoming feeling.

We have always liked the food and service in Harvesters. Always been loyal customers. However, our most recent experience was not great at all. The place was busy, the salad bar was quite empty and the food took a much longer time to arrive which we could excuse as a one-off. But some of the food was not cooked through unfortunately, which believe it or not, again we sort of excused as staff apologised and replaced it. What we cannot overlook however was the menu has changed and unfortunately all the tasty parts of the food have been replaced with hard, tasteless freezer food. Prices have gone up too, which is understandable but they should not have messed with the quality of the food. The chicken, the hash browns were not soft and succulent as before. The nice onion ring was replaced by hard and cold cheese jalapeño rings. Totally different food experience now. We are not going to go back in a hurry, let's just say. Really sad as we did like frequenting it over the last few years.
