Costa Coffee in Plymouth

I love all Costa’s, but the Drake Circus Shopping Centre is very especial and favourite to me, the staff are very friendly and they give you a positive energy. The drinks and the food is very pleasant and delicious, the atmosphere is great, my first destination if I would like to visit the shopping centre.

I visited here with my family and Chloe served me. Her service was exceptional I wanted to thank her for the great experience I had.

Roasted Hazelnut Latte. Made my day!

When it's open the staff are helpful. I prefer other outlets tbh. The coffee is better at marks and spencer

I have not actually been in here but it keeps coming up on this site that I have. But what I can tell you From Others that do use it and by certain people I know who work here it is a very busy coffee bar in the Top Part of the City Centre. The Staff are very friendly and will do anything for you within reason and apart from the occasional one which everyone gets the Customers that use it who are Regulars are very friendly and will help the public with directions. As for the Coffee its like most Costa Coffee Houses but the Customers reckon this Coffee Tastes Better than the others. This you will have to find out for yourselves. Personally I only buy from the Do it yourself Costa Bars in Supermarkets as I don't get time to stop.

Had a wonderful piece if cake..free as it was my birthday.

Had the literal best experience getting my daughters bubble blueberry drink and my popcorn latte. Got my free one after buying 8 and the girl serving me (Chloe) was so helpful and awesome.

Costa all the way Best coffee best service legend staff Saved my life literally 😌 🙃 🙌 🙂

2 chirpy female staff were very friendly and made the visit much nicer. Worthy of great praise for great service

Had a cappuccino but was still very bitter with 2 sugars should have stuck to hot chocolate.

Service and coffee good. Cakes a delicious delight.

The staff are very good but the app is not working at all

Clean premises. A bit of a queue but not long wait. Very friendly and polite staff. Was made to feel welcome and that's rare in any chain of business.

We paid a Lunchtime visit to Costa Coffee located in the Shopping Mall and we’re a little surprised how quit it was compared to previous visits. Lovely Friendly Baristas who were very helpful and efficient. We ordered a Flat White and a Large Extra Hot Latte which were freshly brewed and very tasty.

Quick service, decent coffee. Only watch out is their WiFi is down so you can't access your Costa Club, no unable to collect beans not redeem your offers.

I'm surprised they sell coffee 5 stars

Quick coffee,hot chocolate and toasted sandwiches whilst Xmas shopping. All good.

Really friendly service here and they made my coffee just right.

nice drinks and the staff are always friendly

Good service. Clean location. Reasonable prices

Enjoyed a coffee and cake at the Costa. Staff were so friendly and attentive during our visit. Georgia, Rich, Esther and Michelle are great ambassadors for the company. Will be back for sure.

Clearly this is a store that needs improving. Staff were asked a question at the till for an order, it was acknowledged but the barista ignored and made it anyway. On questioning they said they can't adapt orders. Then when the order arrived, it was like being served a whisky in a wild West saloon. The orders were slid, at speed, down the counter and if you weren't switched on, one could only imagine the clear up. Awful service.

Quick and professional experience with lovely coffee.

Ideal position and tasty coffee

Typical Costa,over priced but good quality drinks and cakes. Nice for a treat, staff always friendly

Dirty and slow service. Also expensive.

Good hot chocolate served here, the staff were very pleasant.

It was a bit of a wait. It was just passed the lunch rush do understandable.

Smells heavy, but offers lots of food and drinks for reasonable prices

Lots of customers, seating very limited, people just sitting down with empty cups most on their laptops, staff quite slow.

I think the Hot Cross Bun Hot Chocolate was Chocolate orange by mistake. I'm not a fan of chocolate orange.

Whilst out in Plymouth shopping for the day gave the Drake's Circus branch a go. Very busy but few spare tables free. Had food to warm up which was done efficiently and quickly. But one drink was incorrect. Ordered Mint Choc frostino but got chocolate one instead. Didn't bother going back to change to to time. Apparently some others also had wrong drinks. To be honest the staff were overworked and trying to order through perspex wearing masks makes life difficult. Lots of general noise with chatting made things even more challenging. Wasn't very impressed. Probably wouldn't go back.

Ok typical Costa franchise. Staff were friendly and would visit again.

Usual friendly efficient service.

My recommendation... Avoid like the plague. This is no worse than any other Costa Coffee, or any chain coff shop for that matter but for an extra moment of looking one could find a local, independent, coffee shop to support.

Used the app to order for the first time today - seamless experience and avoided the queue. The staff were working hard and were friendly. Could be a COVID related thing with staff absences, but the customer seating area was a mess and I couldn't find a bin to ditch my own rubbish so unfortunately we just had to add to the problem. Detracted from an otherwise delicious mince pie and a much needed coffee!

Costa Coffee in the Drake Circus Mall is always busy and this visit was no different. Worth the queue and wait to get that lovely smooth tasting coffee. Latte and Cappucino were our preference and very nice they were.

Good service got a seat even people from the back where jumping the line up

Lovely hot chocolate Xmas drinks.

We had arranged to meet the Wife’s Mum in Costa in the Shopping Mall, it was early and so Peaceful and Quiet. Staff were on hand to be helpful and the Menu was its normal plentiful self with everything available. We sat to enjoy Cappuccinos and a Latte. All freshly prepared and smooth tasting as always.

We stopped off at Costa in the busy Shopping Mall. Being a Monday it was fairly quiet and we were served by a very happy pleasant Barista. We chose a Latte and Cortado which were freshly prepared and very smooth and tasty.

I always have a great time with my family and the staff are always welcoming and friendly

If this is iced Cappuccino... At least they gave me water and the rewards app worked.

Clean table, poor service. Pram friendly.

Really friendly barista! Very welcoming. I hope he has a fantastic day

Great staff. Love going here as a breastfeeding mum.

Lovely friendly service. Great coffee 😌

On our visit there was Very Limited choice of cake ,and coffee syrups .

Black forest hot chocolate was beautiful

Excellent service and good social distancing making customers feel safe.

This one on Drake Circus was really good. Polite staff and felt safe.

Not my sort of place but the people were friendly

It's costa. Not much to say. They are good sometimes get my order wrong. Service can be hit or miss but that's what you get for a chain coffee shop

Top place to have an drink and good on price

Great coffee and not bad price!

Standard experience but few space for groups larger than 4

Excellent service from friendly welcoming staff who constantly kept area clean and tidy.

Always cheerful staff even when it's busy, which is a lot of the time so it must be good

We waited 25 minutes for 2 coffees, even though we were third in the queue. Not very good service today!

Costa is my go too for coffee! But today I visited the costa in drake circus and the service was poor. The queue was out the door and service seemed ridiculously slow. When me and my mum finally got to the till the server was rude and blunt - you could tell she didn’t want to be there. When given our coffees my mum was given a small, when she ordered a medium. Instead of being made a fresh one, I just witnessed the guy pour the pre made coffee into a larger cup and add milk... it wasn’t very professional. Will be sticking to Waterstones costa in future. Very friendly there.

Usual high standard. Very friendly barista serving.

Went to Costa coffee this afternoon whilst shopping with my mum and the service was very poor. Waited in the queue for over 25 minutes (wasn't long when we joined it) and toasted sandwich was heated up way about 15 mins before hot drinks had been made so unfortunately had to ask for another to be done. Only one member of staff was polite and apologetic whilst the rest were rude and refusing to anything they were asked to. A lot of people walked out due to the unecessary wait and people had also wanted refunds as they were using out of date milk. For somewhere that isn't the cheapest they need to up their game as it seems to have got worse and worse over the last few months.

This was the worst Cost I've ever been too. Flies were perched on the covered buns, flies flying round me and other customers. Wasn't busy yet plates, cups and tBles not removed or wiped down. This needs new staff and a manager who manages this store the way it should be. 0/10

Visited for a coffee and before entering commented how friendly people in Plymouth were until going here! Coffee was poor tasting like it has only half a shot - there are better Costa's in the town

Despite being in the Extremely busy Shopping Mall in the City Centre where the queues seem to endless this Costa still provides a good quality experience and the staff are the usual Costa Friendly Baristas. We sat to enjoy a Latte & Cappucino and as it was approaching the Festive period we had a Mince Pie. All very nice and seating although at a premium this time of year was kept clean and tidy.

Excellent service and food brilliant

Always good coffee. And service.

Can't fault this Costa the staff are the most helpful I've had the pleasure of meeting.

Called in for coffee at 8.30am, coffee always good at costa but today’s coffee was not very hot, the place itself was clean unlike the last one I called in the other day but considering how early in the day it was the toilet was not very clean at all.

Go to Costa nearly every day staff polite but toilets never seem to be clean and cafe is looking a bit grotty needs more attention to detail

Really poor taste , no marshmallows effected my drink alot resulting in limited sweetness and not a very nice taste , should taste nice without marshmallows but doesn't seem like it

Costa the brand - excellent, this store.........mmmm not so good. Someone more interested in disagreeing with a customer about hygiene and food practices then assisting the slow barista that was getting flustered with the 4 drinks they had to make. Resulting in 4 customers leaving, our order being wrong and it not being a particularly good experience. Perhaps a little support from someone else at this store might not go a miss

The staff in there amazing put a smile on your face

Had my usual Flat White and Brown toast, as always very nice. The guys serving were quick and served a perfectly presented and tasty Coffee. Good Show.

Went in at just after 10am. Hardly any breakfast stuff left. Only one bacon roll, no white bread for toast. Not what you expect from a Costa especially so early in the day.

A day without Costa coffee is a bad day

Coffee was missing the cup as coming out of machine, hence very weak milky coffee, service so slow so went to Starbucks instead.very disappointed.

Wonderful service and wonderful coffee

Just left there 40 minutes ago. 3 staff behind counter. 1 customer. Me. The staff were apparently too busy to even acknowledge me let alone serve me. After a couple of minutes I left without coffee. Don't waste your time there. There are far better places serving far better coffee in Plymouth. With the emphasis on "serve". Costa staff don't appear to know why they are there.

For the Gluten free porridge mine at home never comes out like that!?!

They just make the best coffee on the planet according to my taste buds.

Costa coffee cups litter plymouths streets go to an independent and get a proper cup!

Popped in for lunch - great to see a shopping centre allowing dogs in, so we choose Costa, as the girls like their panini. Quick service, reasonable price and no issues.

Worst customer service ever! 4 staff on shift and only 2 customers in line. They lost our order and served before us 3 other people who came in after us. When we asked nicely where ours is, one of them snapped at ua saying "We are doing it NOW". No apology, no sense of customer service.

Emplacement idéal pour convenir d'un rdv. Prises électriques disponibles, coin salon. Produits salés, sucrés. Variété intéressante de boissons chaudes ou froides.

Great coffee and friendly staff

I love coming here, the staff are so friendly, the most friendly than any other Costa's I have been to who do not seem to care. The only thing I would say is that it feels a little cramped sometimes.

It's a Costa, need I say anymore...

Bad serice and unfriendly staff.

It's Costa - what's not to like.

Nice but not value for money very expensive a very long wait

Coffee was weak and not very appealing. Flat white was milkier than your average latte. Very expensive for what you get. Customer service was average.

coffe is ok,but not very clean inside.

Excellent coffee, good food staff pleasant

Costa is a good place to visit if it's quiet, if not then avoid. Unfortunately, my last visit really put me off, it was so busy I had to wrestle through the tables.

Excellent coffee and you can rely on COSTA for that.

Very slow service today, tables not cleared, 3 staff working. Although 1 was more interested in filling the sandwiches up even though the que was growing out of the door. When I eventually got to be served I was met with a very off handed hi, no apology for being kept waiting. Very nearly walked out. Won't be visiting again.

Good coffee, slow service, possibly understaffed

You can always see the big corporate coffee shops, who can afford to pay to be in the customer high volume areas of shopping area, but let the basic values go out of the window. Went into the place today and it was just a mess, behind the counter and at the coffee machine. The tables were dirty and a complete mess. The only reason for not getting a terrible rating is the girl behind the counter was pleasant. I put it down to poor management. Get a grip Costa, you do the coffee industry a disservice.

Dirty and drinks whent in the bin I cant believe you would call this a Costa
