No idea how this chain is still in business. Apparently a frap is a lukewarm watery drink with some cream on top - for a fiver!

I'm a regular at this, my local Costa. Staff are excellent. The gals are friendly and professional - most importantly they know how to make lovely coffee. Problems - not because of the store's staff :- sometimes deliveries to the store are not in schedule 🤦leading to low stocks of cakes, sandwiches etc .... Some comments have noted *dirty tables* whatever. Sometimes the 2 on duty (occasionally even 1) can be overwhelmed for a few minutes with customers. However ask them to clear/clean your table and it will be done ASAP. Plus as soon as the short rush is over normal cleaning etc is done. The store and toilet ARE wheelchair (accessable).

Despite being the first customers of the day we did not even get a ‘good morning’ greeting. I prompted one by saying it myself. Upon first appearance waiting for the shutters to rise, the outside area was filthy. Unswept with dirt and leaves. Every table had its ashtrays full of butts and ash. When we got inside the workstation was covered with coffee grains and mess. A terrible mess.

I was really disappointed at Costa in Gillingham, I ordered a vanilla, hazelnut latte and was questioned if I actually wanted both these syrups in one latte, Yes I do! We ordered some lemon cake, which was very dry, when we spoke to the girls behind the counter they told us that lemon cake should be dry and dense, no it shouldn't.

Called in to kill some time prior to a meeting, the place was nice & clean, the armchairs were a bit low down, actually pretty uncomfortable so I moved to a conventional chair and table. Two extremely pleasant, happy and friendly ladies working behind the counter, it’s the staff that make a place. Good experience. Recommend.

Drove here from football pitches 10 minutes away. Got myself a cappuccino and was looking forward to drinking it in the cold on the sidelines. Half way Back it lept out my hands into the footwell without even a sip being had. Nothing to do with the Costa but felt that everyone should know about my horrific experience. Coffee smelled great though, and my wife enjoyed her hot chocolate immensely, and with a bit of a wry grin. Good atmosphere in the shop, very busy but the staff kept their nerve and were very polite.

Visiting the Christmas market today , my wife and I decided to visit Costa and being as we had the dog with us we sat outside. There is no other comment that can be made about the exterior sitting area but “filthy with smelly cigarette ends littering the floor, tables dirty with smelly dirty ashtrays , wet leaves , obviously the area had not been cleaned in days. This has put us off ever visiting Costa Gillingham ever again.

Ok, just not what I expected from Costa. As Baristas go, they deserve better training. My expensive coffee could have come from a filter pot. No crema whatsoever. As I'm just passing through I can only surmise the folks here have nothing else for comparison. Not one of my better coffee experiences.

Not the best Costa I have reviewed. I've tasted better filter coffee than the americano I was served, at half the price. Perhaps the machine pressures are not correct! A good demonstration of the effects of no competition. I was served by Chelsie who to her credit, served what she assumed (having been trained) to be a good cup of coffee. The owners/operator (Bournemouth Coffee co.) need to have a good look at what passes for coffee in this establishment. Skinny decaf latte primo, americano primo, 2 bags crisps, 2 innocent strawberry and 2 naked blue machine £16.65. They better hope I don't come to town when I can could present better at 75% cost.
