I bought a coffee here yesterday and was surprised to see just how dirty it is. Outside tables were littered with empty Costa cups and food wrappers, ashtrays were full. Inside tables, many remained uncleared and the bathroom was disgusting, loads of used tissues all over the floor. Costa management you need to visit this place it's way below the right standard.

Absolutely brilliant!! Excellent service. I was served by 2 amazing staff members (named Faria and Dolar). They were both so kind to me and went above and beyond. They both really made my day! I am a very happy customer and will definitely be returning to this branch again. My coffee was perfect and so was the service. Outstanding!

i picked up a cookie to buy and at the counter the man explains it is expired but this could have been a health and safety issue as it is unacceptable for a company like costa to be selling expired food which people had previously bought.

Mi esposa hizo nuestro pedido con el servidor masculino que comenzó a ingresarlo en la caja, entonces sin razón aparente simplemente se alejó y le dijo a su colega que tratara con nosotros. Cuando ella vino, ni siquiera había entrado en nuestra orden en la caja. No estoy seguro de cuál era su problema con nosotros. Además, había un borracho dormido en una de las mesas, y muchas de las mesas necesitaban limpieza. Nunca más usaré esta rama.

The location has the public toilet out of order. The barista was sending us in a closest Pub to use toilet. At the door was written ask our waiter where to use toilet. A bar big like this ( has 40 seats) should have at least 2 toilets and one employee toilet in a case of out of order employee toilet should be use for public. This is health and safety at the work environment! How employees could work whole day without using a toilet!

I always have a great experience in this Costa. The staff is great, always responsive, and with a smile on their faces, which always gives me a great start to a working day. Tareq always remembers the usual drinks of the regular customers :). The shop is always well organized, with the shelves always taken care of. Overall, the atmosphere is great, and you also have plenty of sitting space where you can stay and enjoy your drink and/ or food.

I normally have a nice experience in Costa but got a coffee before work here yesterday morning and had a terrible experience. I was served by a blonde haired woman who greeted everyone apart from me and for some reason was very rude to me as well. Was waiting for almost 10 minutes for my coffee and she could see I was waiting as I was at the front of the queue on the side but tried to give my order to a gentlemen behind me twice… safe to say I won’t be visiting again

I went near closing. It wasn't too crowded. Staff politely politely explained that there are only 10 minutes to closing (7pm) as we were eating. Roughly 10 tables inside. Faster service and also do try their mango passion cold drink :) The berry equivalent of that drink also suits some people more.

Was closing as we got here (At 4pm on a Tuesday) 😳 They allowed us to stay 20 mins for a brief meeting. This is the earliest time I have known a Costa to close on a week day. Sure they breached their franchise. That said they are right next to Farringdon Tube Station and that was closed, so perhaps understandable.

Sono a Londra per la prima volta e per la colazione sono stato da Costa Coffee. Veramente un buon cappuccino italiano con schiuma, cacao e brioche, possibilità di sedersi ai tavoli tranquillamente. Prezzi nella media: cappuccino e brioche £ 3,20, circa 5 €. Servono tutto su tazze di ceramica in una città dove di norma utilizzano solo bicchieri di plastica riciclata ecologica. Consiglio vivamente... ;))

Don't like this Costa Coffee. It's small, dark and the staff are not as great as at other locations. It is VERY busy during the morning rush hour. I recommend you go to the other Costa Coffee 5 minutes to walk, at Hatton Garden. Here, I ordered a large hot chocolate on an evening when it was not busy at all, but the staff still didn't take the time to prepare the drink carefully. The guy asked if I'd like whipped cream on top (didn't know it'll cost me half a quid—he asked it as if it was a friendly gesture, like "would you like some cinnamon on top"). It was still fine, until I got the drink: one spoon full of cream was thrown unlovingly on there, a mess, the most expensive and least carefully prepared drink I ever got at any Costa Coffee. Never again will I order at this one. I also got a link to write a review by coincidence and complained, but never heard anything from them. Shame.

The staff are excellent. Both helpful and friendly. They only serve in paper mugs - no china - which is not great for the environment. But that's because most of their business is takeaway. However, I chose to sit in today and would have liked a 'proper' mug for my mocha ☹️.

Music was too loud, which then makes everyone raise their voices. Tables were dirty and staff pretty busy to deal with it, so not sure if it was a freak rush of clients, but I had to leave as I couldn't finish my coffee in peace.

Not as big as most Fullers pubs and a limited menu. Having said that, all the items on the menu looked very tempting. We ordered hummus (with pitta and black olives) and a charcuterie board for 2. Both were delicious and good value. Both the ladies behind the bar were really helpful and pleasant (this is not a given in central London pubs). One helped us take our supper to the upstairs "Wine Room" - a very quiet oasis of a room. A very nice evening. We wnat to go back to try the toasties and the Scotch eggs.
