The shop itself is quite nice. However, the staff are incompetent. They ignored me while they talked about their personal lives for a good few minutes then served someone else who was behind me in the cue. I didn't say anything as no doubt they would get offended if I brought it to their attention. I eventually received my order and it was the incorrect drink and side. I won't be visiting again.

Sadly the coffees are now very poor, rushed and not up to the level expected from a Costa. I won’t be frequenting this shop anymore.

My father and I had parked in the Linghams car park. We were going to choose Linghams but farther preferred Costa. As he went off to exchange money from the bank across the road. I went in to get our drinks. Inside I chose my orders and waited in the queue. On the front till I saw the sign stating that just because something maybe vegan friendly does not mean it’s okay for people with severe allergies. It also explained that there maybe a risk of cross contamination, something that is so common that it’s just respectable to accept it. Ahead of me I observed a young man with special needs use a keypad to explain to the young man at the counter what he would like to order? The devices wasn’t loud enough for the counter man to hear. But when the mother stepped forward to turn the device around. The situation was clarified. The counter then made pleasant talks with the boy, making him happy to be in the cafe. When it came to my drink I was served by a different individual. He was very nice and perky to be working. He made my drinks, I took them outside and then me and my father sat outside and drank them. Both agreeing they were lovely. Hope you guys are doing well and that you keep the good work.

All drinks and food are what you would expect from a Costa. The establishment is clean and well maintained. What makes this branch of Costa stand out is its wonderful staff who are always very friendly and cheerful and who go out of their way to help. The staff team are also honest and trustworthy, I left my bag by accident under one of the tables. My bag was found/handed in and the staff kept it safe. So when I realised I had forgotten my bag and went back to find it. It had been kept safe and sound, which was a relief.

Usually enjoy going in for coffee when Linda is in. Today she wasn't, my friend and I got 2 toasties. One was fine ,one nearly burnt to a hard crisp . When taking the hard one back, the man serving abruptly said Its the oven. No apology. Not except able my friend said. Looks could have killed us. Well we will sort it but nothing happened till we complained again. Just before we left we were grudgingly given one toasties money back. Staff need to learn customer service .

Place was surprisingly dirty, every table covered in used cups and had crumbs all over the floor! I’d have been more understanding if there was only 1 person front of house, however there were 3 of them and no new customers other than my grandma and I. Was so loud inside even though there were more empty (dirty) tables than full ones, and I appreciate that it wasn’t the fault of the staff there that there were a few loud customers, however my grandma and I could barely hear each other over the loud conversation between a member of staff and a table of customers behind us. Our drinks were made quickly and were very tasty so I have no complaints about that, would just prefer it if next time the tables weren’t filthy…

Until the manager is sacked unfortunately the service in this coffee shop will not improve. The majority of regular customers now refuse to frequent this establishment as a result of the managers attitude to both staff and the general public alike. She has single handily ruined what was relaxed environment, which now on occasions resembles a war zone, when are the owners off this business, going to sit up and take notice of what is going on in there business!!

Extremely slow service. Member of staff who took my order was very abrupt and interrupted me whist I was trying to order. I think she thought because she was smiling and putting on a bright sing song voice that her rudeness was justified. Hot chocolate was weak compared to every other Costa I’ve been to. Won’t go back!

I may have a coffee problem but i did go to Costa everyday for a drink and chill, so i am very used to this store. The staff team have always been brilliant, Linda, James Jamie et al are all brilliant. Linda being the star of the store!!!!! It is so sad to see that since the new manager started service has collapsed, the wait for service is now beyond annoying, I am not the only person who now turns away and leaves when we see the manager on the counter, usual give away is the queue out the door. I manage services and so understand there are 2 types of managers, those that focus on customers and ensure efficient service and those who relish a long queue as it makes them feel busy, in reality you are not busier as many customers just leave so branch is loosing money. the new manager is clearly type 2 the opposite to myself. i also find the new manager passive aggressive and agree with other comments about her treatment of staff. when this manager is on shift the tables are left uncleared, the queues and waits are beyond a joke, no chance of a quick coffee break. Having run a coffee house many years ago, I understand rush times, but this week was the final straw, I entered a pretty empty shop, 3 other customers sat down already with drinks, I still had to wait more than 10 mins for a coffee. I feel so sorry for the troops who have been brilliant on every visit and now are so apologetic as they know the current situation is putting people off visiting. unless the new manager drastically ups her work rate and her attitude then I am sorry the place will be empty. It is such a shame as Linda, James and Jamie do not deserve it, they work so hard and really make everyone feel so welcome. such a sad situation as has always been 5 stars until last few months.

I went into today for a chilled lunchtime break and was met with something I have never witnessed elsewhere. The bully like behaviour towards staff and customers really shocked me. I witnessed a young blonde girl being paraded to run round and complete jobs under the demand of what seems an incappable manager. She seems to not want to have anything to do with hands on work and represents herself very poorly. The idea of a manager should be to take control, to co-operate as a team and treat others (customers and staff) with respect. I will not be returning anytime soon due to the events that I witnessed this lunchtime. Extremely poor

The current manager, SAM is so rude to both customers and staff! Chastises staff in front of consumers! Yells across the shop, both at customers and staff? Grandstands! To get her point over???? This behaviour is totally not acceptable. Bullying of the worst kind. Very vile women. We wo t go back there.This is why you have such a large turnover of staff! Bullying needs to be addressed urgently and stopped and try treating customers ears and staff with respect. I believe you need to treat people and you expect to treated! She does not fit any of this. She is so disorganised and can’t cope! She bullies. Not acceptable. Distrusting place to work and visit. I hope it closes.

Quite possibly the slowest coffee shop on the planet. It took just under 15 minutes to make one takeaway cappuccino with only four other drinks in front of me. The mature lady operating the machine only seems able to do one thing at once and even then slowly. Eventually (presumably as I'd expressed my concern) a luke warm cup of coffee with warm milk slopped on top was thrust at me. I'm not going to make any apologies for 'everyones always in a rush' claims, it's a takeaway coffee shop not a library. The staff don't seem to be up for the job. One of them was drifting loudly around the place performing some kind of abstract stand up comedy act, either that or she's had one too many free espressos. The place is also filthy. I only went there to get my points. I'll never go in again, I'll stick to the other multiple coffee shops in Heswall. I suggest you do the same.

Visited the Heswall Costa with my daughter and grandchildren. Unfortunately my granddaughter dropped her milkshake which spilled onto the table, my trousers, my handbag which was on the floor and the floor under my chair. We tried to clean it up with some tissues and asked the staff for help. An assistant gave me a handful of napkins which was never going to be enough. We again asked for help and a mop. The assistant brought a damp mop mop over and swished it under my chair and that was it. None of the staff asked if we were ok or came to help us clean up. We had noticed that some of the tables and chairs in the cafe were sticky and now we know why. The housekeeping is none existent. A very unpleasant experience, customer service non existent. I don’t suppose anyone from Costa will read this. We certainly won’t be going into that dirty shop again.

I didn’t have the app and struggled with my phone, Sib took the time and trouble to support and enable me to be part of the celebration as she recognised I was a loyal customer. Each time we visit there the coffee is outstanding, staff never fail to smile, chat and ensure it is more than just a delicious drink.

I love Costa coffee as the balance is just right in terms of flavour mainly because other high Street brands are too bitter for my palate but I can't go to the Heswall branch anymore. The service is too slow. I left this morning from the store empty handed after queueing 10minutes. Just a shambolic farce and it's not the first time this has happened to me... Honestly I've seen better organised chimpanzee poo fights in chester zoo.

Used to go here a lot and the last two time we have been they now fill the salad boxes half full when you are paying just under £4. I also pay extra for pasta and you get around 6 pieces. Won’t be going back anymore as it’s not worth the money, when there are other places so close by.

What can I say except sublime! The cakes where fantastic. There was plenty, but not too much, chocolate and the choice inspired (the six of us all had a different favourite). It’s not just the food though, the building is gorgeous and the dining room is a very special place to have an afternoon tea.

We found this little gem as we walked along the street. It was spotlessly clean, spacious, and had very nice staff. we both had a light lunch which was very good and the coffee excellent - piping hot and just as we like it. It is also dog friendly and had a corner with plenty of things to amuse the children. We really enjoyed our visit,
