Called in on 20 4 24 Charged £9.60 for two decaf flat white coffees! What a rip off! Next time I'm in the area, I'll be sorting you out! By the way, get that stupid system of going to the toilet sorted, old people can see codes or code machines!

Always good service, sometimes hard to find seating. No problems otherwise. Always clean, pleasant environment to enjoy coffee/snack

Good coffee, great staff but they lose a point on cleanliness. It's not that they don't try but it's often too busy for anyone to clear up properly.

We called here last week. The tables were very dirty, and there appeared to be no available staff to clean them, let alone the rubbish on the floor. Prices were extortionate, and staff were really stretched.

Ideal for a chatty get together! In the middle of town, so easy to get to when your feet are tired! Roomy, good for push chairs and wheel chair users. Lovely, lovely staff! Don't forget to bring your own cup for money off!!

Visiting porthcawl wanted a coffee called into Costa.wanted to sit outside. Only 2 tables out side one in use other table still with previous customers cups etc .had to clear table ourselves and take to counter .(tables out of sight out if mind). Coffee not that bad but they need to ensure tables are ready for use.

I drink at Costa a lot. You'd imagine a chain should produce fairly uniform product but nothing could be further from the truth with Costa; coffee quality varies immensely from one day to the next in the same shop. Beans, Baristas, etc. I also use independent coffee shops, Neros, and pride myself on making a pretty good double-espresso at home. I don't patronise Starbucks! I called into Porthcawl Costa's recently, was served by 2 guys with names beginning with K, (I think 'Ken' was the Barista?) Probably just total fluke, Beans, Baristas, etc. but I was sold this smooth intense espresso which was absolute perfection, (and the like of which I have never been served before anywhere, as a long-standing espressoholic).

Whilst shopping in town we wanted a coffee so called into this cafe which was absolutely packed out on a Tuesday morning! We did find a table inside, there were outside seats but it was a bit chilly for that. The staff were lovely both the lady who served me and the barista chatted to me. Nice coffee and good service.

Called in today for an informal meeting with 2 others. The staff were all super friendly and helpful. The cakes and snacks all looked scrumptious and I had to stop myself ordering lots.This Costa is situated very centrally in Porthcawl town so is great for a pit stop at any time. The de caf tea I had was very weak unfortunately. The toilet seat was not clean and was badly, long time stained and either needed a good clean or replacement. There was no soap to wash your hands in the dispenser. The staff seem super busy there. There is also a place at the back for eating/drinking al fresco. Overall a reasonable experience.

The coffee really woke me up. However the waiter's halitosis was quite overwhelming and somewhat ruined the whole Java experience. Nice selection of daily papers and charity flyers, rather unpleasant looking customers.

I frequent this Costa as it's close to me and I have always received a nice and courteous service, very friendly and helpful staff but I have been in there and seen my food being handled without tongs as well as straws being put into drinks using bare hands etc.

Costa came to porthcawl last year, and what a success, always busy, staff friendly service can be a bit slow at certain times, particulary popular with sixth formers during term time.

What you expect from Costas you get, staff are friendly, although sometimes not enough of them. Plenty of seating inside and out

Nice coffee but waited a while for it. The cafe is in a lovely spot,? We sat by the window which was nice. The floor was covered in crumbs and I think papers which had blown in from outside.

In Porthcawl town centre on a Sunday, in the main shopping street, after looking at 8 cafes that were open this Costa was the only venue that had a `5` hygiene rating..all the others were between 2-4, which shocked me a bit.

This is a first class award winning fish and chip shop. Fish / chicken nuggets cooked to order. Great selection of pies, fish, sausages, rissoles, curry etc. My great grandchildren love chips and chicken nuggets or pie or sausage form there together with a Slush Puppy. Give them a try!

The service was so prompt, staff are great, food was absolutely delicious. Hard to find a good cafe, it’s the only place for us now. Food was perfect and the prices are so fare compared to other local cafes. Mansel has done a great job and his hard work is giving us a great service. Thank you 👍 Neil T

Eight of us visited here for a mid week birthday meal. We all had a fabulous meal at a reasonable price. A big variety on the menu along with the specials board. Nothing was too much trouble for our waitress, who is working while at college. We were offered extra chips and we were also given cream to go with a birthday cake we had brought ourselves. The lady in the kitchen was fab too, nothing was too much trouble and the food was superb. I will definitely be visiting again.

I came home Thursday evening to find my wife shaking and crying. She had been to Tesco Extra Bridgend and been treated as a thief even though she had paid for everything. She bought a tent which had a security tag on it. The staff member at the self checkout area could not remove the security tag. When my wife went to leave the shop she explained this to the security guard who told her she needed to show him the receipt. This was in one of the shopping bags and she could not find it. All the guard needed to do was reprint the receipt which is easy to do using the club card or just by returning to the checkout and printing them out until the right one is found. It had been about two minutes so easy to find. He didn’t do that. The guard instead loudly interrogated my wife in front of other customers. The duty manager was called and he did nothing. He didn’t stop the guard verbally attacking my wife and didn’t suggest they simply reprint the receipt. Why? My wife left the store and walked to her car. She is a defenceless small woman, and she was by herself and the guard followed her. He refused to let her leave until she had handed over the tent, so stole it as legally it was hers as she had paid for it. He threatened her so she gave him the tent. The guard bullied her. The worst type of bullying. My wife was scared, intimidated, frightened, embarrassed and humiliated as other customers witnessed this and would possibly believe she stole the tent, so is a thief, as the tent was taken off her. What else would they think? Though very shaken my wife returned to the store. She asked that a replacement receipt be printed which another member of staff did. It showed the tent had been paid for so she asked for it back. She told the guard he was wrong to do what he did. He did not apologise, nor did the completely useless duty manager. The guard told her she was banned from the store, because she dared to stand up to his bullying and tell him he was wrong to treat her the way he did. The duty manager still did nothing. That security guard followed a woman, on her own, to her car and threatened her. That can never be the right action, not ever. That guard is a bully. If that is the way Tesco treat their customers then I won’t be returning there. I used to work for Tesco and out of loyalty we still shop there 40 years later. I won’t shop there again. I did go to the shop and made a formal complaint but have heard nothing. Neither the duty manager or guard were there. My wife complained on line but so far has heard nothing. The behaviour of the security guard was threatening so I have reported this to the police as threatening somebody is a crime.

Fair play, took our Nephew for his 18th, good choice on menu (nan breads a bit small tho😔) however, the food was excellent, good value for money and the service was quick. A bit quiet for any atmosphere, but what a clean and tidy pub, much much nicer than many many others I could care to mention. I can definitely recommend the Lodge to try, we'll definitely be back, lunchtime or evening, the menu has plenty of choice 👍
