Costa Coffee in County Durham

Friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere, even when it's busy, I enjoyed going in each day I was staying at the Premier Inn

Used the drive through. Staff very helpful

Good frienly staff, service very quick, and proper coffee👌

Went for a early morning light breakfast.

Nice place, come here a lot! Always been able to get a table, usually have a pushchair too and always room. Friendly staff and not long of a wait for our drinks.

Occasionally call in here as a stop over on my way to the Lakes. Very surprised when as I walked in Rebecca was starting to ready my Americano. How’s that for excellent service. Thanks Rebecca. Neild

One of the loudest Costas I've been in. Maybe because it's a new building and cheaply made. Not a nice environment, Ripon and Richmond are the best Costa's

Amazing views of the castle, Very friendly and efficient staff, great coffee as always

Got order wrong. Not very friendly.

The kindest staff members I've ever come across. So friendly and caring. I would return just for their service.

Takeaway cups only. Why? Don't they trust the locals with proper cups?

Meant to close at 7pm closed well before 7 very disappointed

Always really, really busy but the staff are efficient and friendly and the tables always seem cleared and cleaned.

Love a daily Costa.. Sometimes more. Brilliant friendly staff and always ask after me since recent knee replacement

I'm in a wheelchair and when the staff noticed me at the door they came over and opened the door. After I ordered they brought my order to the table.

Always very busy but manage to get a table. Coffee and cake were lovely. As we were nearly finished I saw a young mother with pram waiting for her coffee and toastie. She was then handed her tray as she struggled to hold the tray and manage the pram 2 members if staff walked past her without helping. I got up took her tray from her and walked with her to the table. Have a bit of thought. Costs nothing to help Costa.

Lovely atmosphere, quiet but not enough room or tables.

Disgusting toilets very few staff , too busy fulfilling orders on the app so instore customers had to.wait far too long to be served ...

More staff needed, tables always need clearing and long queues to be served.

Costa in Bishop Auckland is always a great place to go. We go at least once a week as a treat.

Great friendly staff fast service lovely environments

Back row, corner seat, nice and cool - peace and quiet for a while. P.S. extra water always appreciated! Thanks staff x

Theres always something wrong here, differ in opening times due to whether its staff shortages or equipment going wrong

Nice little store. Staff very friendly and welcoming.

Very friendly service, all on point Sometimes there is a staff shortage and you have to wait a while in the queue

Very nice coffee and food, but seriously over priced.

I do love visiting here for my coffee

Excellent service and excellent staff

3 of us came in for a coffee. Parking was OK but tends to be busy as it's on a retail park. Service was reasonably quick, seating was busy with 1 or 2 tables free and coffee was great.

Great coffee and warm welcome. Everyone who had food enjoyed it, too.

Good, tends to be busy in the day time

Lovely coffee as usual. Lost 1 star because using paper cups

Yep will be back xx service with a smile 😃

No cups or plates, sit in and get a takeaway cup, doubled the cup so really a wast, got a toasted sandwich which cam on a cardboard square instead of a plate, and no cutlery

Very busy, just one person doing drinks and one taking orders and 2 people not doing alot

Costa in Bishop Auckland is poor on so many levels. The air conditioning is set far too cold. A few days ago I witnessed an older couple having to cancel their order and leave because the environment was so cold it made them uncomfortable. I too felt very cold. Although the staff are very friendly, they should be alert to their customers' needs. Instead of saying "OK, we will turn it off or set it at a more comfortable temperature" the couple had no choice but to leave. Unnecessarily cold air conditioning uses energy and costs money that Costa passes on to the customer. In this day and age with climate change it is unforgivable. Just turn the air conditioning down. It's not rocket science! As for the coffee, it is far too bitter and not hot enough. No amount of adding extra hot water to an Americano can rescue it. I can see why so many people drink latte - the milk masks the awful taste of the low-quality coffee. And finally, the place is far too noisy - the noise from behind the counter echos all over the premises. There are tried and tested means of reducing noise, so why not adopt them. Costa in Bishop Auckland is an all-round unpleasant experience. I am voting with my feet and never setting foot in there again.

One of the better Costa coffee's, like the fact they now sell M&S food, takes them a notch. Staff always friendly and pleasant despite always being under pressure because of the volume of customers. They deserve recognition.

Good food. Gr8 staff. Food.could have been toasted both sides for a toasted.sandwich. on the whole nice bit prices. Toasted.sandwich 2 latter and sausage bap. £20......

Nice and friendly service and has a nice quiet atmosphere

Nice coffee. Sometimes a little noisy. But excellent service

Just your average costa, can't go wrong:)

Staff are always friendly and polite. Loved the biscoff cheesecake.

Not a bad coffee shop but no alt blends seems quite boring

Very good customer service and barista was very hard working

You know what to expect in Costa

Lovely atmosphere 👌 20 times better than Starbucks lovely staff aspeshley Angela aka angel

It was a quieter day on Monday after Easter. The staff were courteous. We had cappuccino and hot chocolate.

Always too noisy, but a nice place to stop for a break

Friendly helful staff, clean enviroment .

The toasted sandwich had no taste The coffee was bitter

Need more sofas in this space 👍

Better today, not to many people in

Nice sandwiches heated and brought to the table. Good selection of hot drinks. Quick service nice staff.

So disappointed in Costa lately. I'd rather get from a Costa machine than the coffee in the cafes. It just tasted better. The batistas always burn the coffee or its too hot. In fact McDonald's and Greggs do a way better coffee. So, not sorry.

Not enough staff getting too pricey and manager was cranky

Bad, would not go back, flies on food, no one getting served. Staff totally disinterested. Walked out. Just awful, avoid.

Had tea and toast. Staff friendly and efficient..toast lovely and came with plenty of butter.

Noisy and overbusy and only one toilet in operation causing more congestion

Staff helpful regarding my allergy despite being busy. Lovely drinks

Long queue and service was friendly but slow. Food was available but I didn't have any. Coffee as good as always.

Nice coffee and friendly staff.

Nice shop but closes early all the time then there ment to

Nice place for coffee with friends. Only little mess under table on the floor

Always a great coffee in Costa maybe lower the price a little and ad be there every day

We didnt have food today, but it was a friendly place for a cuppa and staff were patient (my granddaughter ordered a cake despite being told no), without me asking they did a refund (I thought I paid for the drinks only). So they were honest too, thank you costa for your understanding with naughty kids.

Fantastic staff very friendly and whiling to help

I like this Costa, it always feels friendly and has a good atmosphere. There's usually a lot of selection for food too.

This branch served the best coffee from all the branches we tried during our 7 week trip to the uk

The acoustics are painful in here. Doesn't make you want to linger or have a second cup. Tables needed clearing and wiping down.

Costa does what it says on the tin. Wherever we go they provide what we want at the time.

Best Costa I've been too. Top quality coffee and brilliant service. Still as good as ever. Brilliant Costa with top drawer staff

Friendly staff,nice coffee and snacks

Great atmosphere & coffee. Very friendly staff

Very busy shop always a big cue ordered a frappe with coffee but when I tried it had no coffee in. Took it back and was made a fresh one with coffee no problem

Only ever go here for the Chai Latte.

Good location. Slow service even with 4 people working. They are a friendly bunch amd the coffee is good.

Best service I've had in a costa tables cleaned straight away friendly staff

Nice and friendly... But...A bit concerned when visiting the toilets.see photo ..electrical points and wires under the sink ? Is this safe?

Good usual and this meets usual Costa standard

First time and last , the staff must hate it because not one smiled

Just walked into costa Tindal, to be met with, we're closing in 20 mins, chairs already on table's!! Asked if we could sit outside? Told no!, About turn, walked out aying 'wel keep it! We only wanted a cup of coffee each (two of us) Walked over to star bucks over road, to be met with a smile and what can I get you? Lovely guy (Diego) great service, will be back!

Slow service and not very welcoming

20 minute wait to order then another queue for coffee, left

Always pleasant and friendly service with a great customer focus, busy at times but we’ll worth the wait.

Outstanding service. I'm hard of hearing and forgot to put my hearing aids in this day. I couldn't hear what Angela, the lady who was serving me was saying and asked her to repeat herself quite a few times. This didn't phase her at all and she was very patient and remained calm and friendly throughout. I'd usually be very embarrassed but she made me feel at ease. Thank you very much. Very friendly, smiling staff, clean store.

Always a lovely skinny flat white and a beautiful carrot cake!!

Not a lot of choice, coffee could have been hotter, and though there weren't many infront of me, it took ages, I was on the verge of ask for a chair while I waited.

Short wait due to it being busy but that's to be expected. Staff were really friendly and calm which I really appreciated (helps the anxiety), especially given they had a lot of customers. Drink was lovely as always and enjoyed it in the outdoor seating area.

With an updated and seasonally themed drink and cake selection it is a great place to rest those weary shopping feet. At peak times you will queue but the staff are friendly.

Says it’s open till 7pm never is

I’m a regular here and the service is top notch! The staff are always friendly, nice relaxing atmosphere and the coffee is second to none!

Walked into costa bishop Auckland at 3:15 and lady sweeping floors half the stores chairs on top of the tables as if they were closing, and they don’t get put back down again, I passed much later, this seems to be the norm with this cafe now, chairs being noisily dragged passed you with no concern for the customer, considering they close at 7pm, this behaviour is totally unnecessary, you feel unwelcome, the staff can be rude to customers which I’ve seen, is there any management around, it never used to be run this way, what a shame, good point is Starbucks is just across the road, costa need to waken up and stop treating customers in this disrespectful manner, didgusting!!!

Only thing that let them down was parking

Visited this afternoon, not too busy, able to get a seat easily. Service quite quick, no issues. Place looked quite clean and tidy, no dirty pots about. Staff helpful and friendly. Enjoyed my flat white coffee ☕

Ordered large latte and hot chocolate to sit in gave them to me in takeaway cups.

Very expensive place for coffee and cake avoid the place

Love going to Costa at Tindale crescent, Bishop Auckland. The staff are very helpful, kind, polite and especially friendly.

The Price of a Coffee is Now out of Hand; But My Deserving Wife thinks 'Their' Brew is Grand. So for 'Brownie Points' and Because I Care; I Save Up, THUS We Occasionally Pop in There!

Vanilla and coconut latte is delicious 😋

Busy, possibly to busy to clean tables when we were there.
