Just been in with my daughter for coffee and cake. The 4 young ladies serving were the most pleasant team I have the the enjoyment of being served by. Absolutely made the visit one of the high lights of our day. Please pass on this to the 4, credit to Costa!!

I visited here ordered cinnamon swirl - it was very dry and stale. The same happened in the Costa in Chester railway station- so disappointed- it’s put me off going to Costa as they are saving money trying to sell food past its best. Looking for another coffee shop now.

Visiting Chester, the wife wanted to indulge herself in retail therapy, so opted to stay in Costa Coffee in the Grosvenor Shopping Centre for a spot of coffee therapy! Nice morning Café Latte, friendly helpful staff in clean & tidy cafe. Clean and tidy toilets - everything you need in the morning!

Think we were unlucky. Arrived on a Saturday afternoon along with the rest of Chester it seems. Queued for ages, difficult to find a free, clean table but got there eventually. Very noisy not terribly inviting due to the crowds. It was what it was.

I had some time to kill before my train so had a walk around the shopping centre which had the usual shops but a very nice Costa. Service was quick and polite. The coffee was good. The restaurant was clean and tidy as were the toilets. I will return.

We called in for a drink whilst shopping in Chester. It was quite busy at the time but got served quickly. My Americano was not very strong & I watched as they made it & they made a small Americano & the topped it up with more water which diluted it but I didn`t realise this had diluted it untill I tasted it. I know that an Americano is an espresso with hot water but a large cup should be 2 espressos & not 1.

I popped in Costa Grosvenor Chester today for a quick coffee, was served by a pleasant, courteous male European assistant, but coffee served by female barrista, not sure if she is the manager, she had served me with luke warm coffee so I asked a passing assistant could I have it exchanged, which she obliged and took it to the barrista, who did not look happy about it to be changed, 15 minutes later I am still sitting without a coffee, which I am sure was done out of spite, appauling customer service and attitude, I left without a coffee in the end and asked for a refund, never go there again, and I will take this further.

I have never been a huge fan of Costa Coffee but i sometimes have a quick coffee and cake when i am out and about. The reason why i am not a big fan is because i find that they are quite corporate in everything that they do ,and i find that this shows with Costa more than any other food chain. I know that people are in business to make money but with Costa i have found that they have taken saving money to a new level . Whilst visiting Chester my husband and i were passing Costa when we decided to go in for a coffee and cake ,the queue was quite long so i decided to go to the loo before sitting down whilst my husband was in the queue, however i couldn't use the loo because i didn't have my receipt with a code on to enter onto a door lock. I looked at my husbands place in the queue and he was still a fair way off being served and i knew that i couldn't wait that long so we decided to leave.Costa sometimes you have to think of your customers needs above some of your profits, i am an owner of a tea rooms and i sometimes have non customers using our loo ,but if it means our customers being able to use our loo as and when they need to so be it. I would never compromise my customers needs for the usage of a bit of loo roll,hand soap and paper towels because i truly believe in customer care. From a small independent tea room owner.

I'm beginning to feel that Costa has lost the plot a little. There's a scruffiness about the place, It feels as though it needs a thorough scrubbing out. The noise level from the coffee preparation totally takes over and from being the place to pop into for a quick lunch and coffee it has become the place to avoid. Such a shame.

A group of us visiting this lovely city, stopped here for a bite to eat and a hot drink. It ended up a good stop off. Not overly friendly staff, just getting on with the job. Spacious and clean, we decided to sit outside the main cafe under the shopping centre's main roof. The hot chocolate wasn't overly hot. Tiffin was good, as was the company, which saved the day.

OK, this may be a coffee shop inside the centre but it is a nice retreat, with all the usual Costa menu on offer. Seating available both inside and outside and you can then relax and watch the locals go by. Located inside the Grosvenor centre almost next to the Debenhams entrance. Service is always swift and pleasant .

My friend and I were in Costa Cafe in Grosvenor Precinct, I asked for 2 coffees to drink inside. They gave me takeaway cardboard cups, I said no I wanted cup and saucers. The manager said it was either take it or leave it, they had charged me for sitting inside prices. It was very bad service especially as she was the manager. We will NEVER go there again

Out of all the ones in Chester this is my favourite to visit. It is busy at times but is also one of the largest for seating and has quick service too. I have never had a major issue with this Costa and really enjoy taking 20 minutes out of my day here to get some rest and take in a delicious coffee or hot chocolate.

Not a great experience at this Costa! Called in today Sunday With my family which included a young baby. It was not very busy but the queue was at the door ( Why?) It took 20 minutes to be served but don't worry you can listen to the very loud music that was blasting out all over the coffee shop. Thinking we could have a quiet 5 minutes with the family, with a coffee and something to eat was not to be. You had to shout to each other to get yourself heard.

I normally go here for a skinny latte. However today I thought like the need to splurge so opted for something on the new menu. Toffee apple hot chocolate. Sounds delicious before even trying it and its superb. Lots of cream and sprinkles of toffee. Atmosphere was a little busy at lunch time but they have a little semi raised area which is like a little peaceful oasis. Highly recommend this place and the drinks

I Stopped off at Costa St Michael's square today for my lunch. I usually go to another coffee shop but thought I would try this one for a change. I was not at all impressed with the Limited Edition Chicken and salad wrap I bought. When I picked half of the wrap up to eat it felt half empty which made me open it up to look at the filling. You can see by the photo I took of it it was half empty. For £3.75 I would have expected a lot more filling in the wrap. No problem with the Latte but will not be buying a wrap here again.

I love Costa Costa but this visit was very disappointing - a long queue with slow service which could have been improved if a member of staff stopped preparing freebie samples for people passing outside. The wait was made worse by spilt milk landing on my feet as I was handed the tray by another member of staff. Slow reaction meant that it was at least a minute before I was handed a cloth to dry my feet. The experience today didn't improve as I couldn't hear my friends speak over the very noisy clattering of plates and cups in the service area. Poor standard of service Costa!

I have visited this Costa once before and I was simply unimpressed it was like a bombsite behind the counter this was at 5:00 you would have thought by then cleaning would be done but no. Everywhere you looked was just dirty. Enjoyed my hot chocolate but the customer service was not up to standard very quiet and just unacceptable. So I decided to visit again because I do like my costas and there's free wifi. I had my usual hot chocolate. Have to say second visit was slightly better I managed to charge my phone while I was in there and customer service average. I really think Costa need to improve otherwise there lose customers prices are a bit expensive too!!

Sorry to say this, but this is the worst Costa I have ever been in - and I've been in a good few. We visited at 10.30am on a Friday morning - nowhere was particularly busy - but we queued for over 20 mins to be served. There was one member of staff serving, one barista, one floating about occasionally wiping tables and another - well, I have no idea what she was supposed to be doing, but she wasn't serving customers! When we were EVENTUALLY served there was not even an apology for the amount of time we waited! On top of that, the toilets were a mess - and this was in the morning so I wouldn't like to have gone back in the afternoon!

Costa customers are well served in Chester, with city centre cafes over W H Smith adjacent to the Eastgate Clock and at the top of Watergate Street near The Cross. Both are pleasant venues. There are cafes also at the railway station, and on the Greyhound Business Park outside the city. Like Costas everywhere, the venues are popular and can get crowded, but you can usually find seats.

Acabo de estar aquí con mi madre. El asado del domingo se sirve en un cuenco nadando en una salsa sin sabor. Terrible. No es un buen augurio y no tengo claro cómo se acuña como un gastropub. He tenido mejor comida en el hospital. Me encantaría verlo tener éxito, pero después de hoy sería muy difícil apoyar este pub.
