Costa Coffee in Islington

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.

My wife placed our order with the male server who started to enter it on the till, then for no apparent reason he just walked away and told his female colleague to deal with us. When she came over, he hadn’t even entered our order in the till. Not sure what his problem was dealing with us. Also, there was a drunk asleep at one of the tables, and a lot of the tables needed clearing. Will never use this branch again.

Tareq and the team saved my day! Running in Tuesday morning in the city office not the easiest way to start. I also spilled my coffee and they have made a new one in a second with a smile. Thank you so much!!!!!

My phone was out of charge, and I only had a USB-C cable without an adapter. If you need to charge your phone but don't have an adapter, I recommend visiting here.

Came here for a catch-up with a friend and service & food was good. Only thing is didn’t have air conditioning and was very warm inside. There wasn’t any toilet paper in the bathroom.

The toilets were out of order and staff were unhelpful. We were told to go to the pub at the corner. We had already paid for our snack. It was unpleasant.

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!

Good place for a coffee when shopping in Next

Fast service! Very friendly staff

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.

Coffee scorched and served way too hot along with green tea boiled to death……better to find a better Costa nearby! ☹️

Unique Costa. Really happy friendly staff at 7am on a Saturday morning ! Air con was on and it was really relaxing before having to try and get on the striking trains opposite !

Good cheese toast, staff was professional.

Not a bad spot for a quick espresso!!!

Needed a place to work for a few hours. This place worked really well and plenty of power sockets to charge your laptop.

Good coffee but the service and ambience was not so great!

The croissant was awful, avid at all cost, but the coffee was good and staff members were exceptional. A big shoutout to the guy who was in the counter today. Really sweet and helpful.

Gaz was so kind and hospitable to my family and I. Went out of his way to be friendly and offer great service. Made the cafe feel personal and local

Don’t take cash which I find stupid from a company like this

Bloody expensive tea. Although it was quite nice. No bloody WiFi!

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 ordered a cup of coffee and I told them extra hot but it's not hot, I always love my coffee extra hot and my ice frappe is not good not even looks like the picture they have

Rude customer service with very impatient cashier. Coulbnt wait to get rid of me and move on the the next customer whilst I was still ordering. And then my cup is half.... Why do I even pay full price

Advertised WIFI but no WIFI, expected to use after purchasing items here, the sign on the door is very misleading

As usual a great Costa, Vlada was particularly helpful in getting me a coffee quickly when I was in a rush, thank you

Amazing customer service from the lovely Faria who served me with a smile and was ever so kind. Big minus however as this Costa does not have WiFi.

The staff were friendly but there is no working wifi (even though it’s advertised on the door) and the toilet is out of order. Impossible to work here.

They were really helpful :) and had amazing coffee

The staff is friendly, and cafe itself is cozy and clean. However, for the past two weeks, the toilet has been closed due to an issue, which is unbelievable.

No WiFi. What's the point of a Costa with no WiFi?

Prompt and friendly service condidering the shop was understaffed. A great latte too!

Very busy, well located. Good place to meet.

It does the job. Good service friendly smiles

Don’t waste your money here. They even closed early while people were inside queuing

If you want to pay the double price for a croissant it is because you expect quality, it is unacceptable receiving the croissant of the day before for the same price

Costa always I like but Farringdon station branch I bought coffe there man surve me coffe like this is this standard off large coffe and I pay large coffe £3.85🙄☹️😒

This is one of the better Costa Coffees. The interior is very modern with comfortable seating, plenty of plug sockets and WiFi. This Costa coffee was clean, including the bathroom, and the coffees prepared here were very nice. Staff were also friendly and made good coffee. Good location, right by the station.

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.

Farringdon costa staff are brilliant. Order is always correct and quick (even during rush hour and queue goes out of the door) Always really happy with my coffee from here. Bring my own cup to get extra reward stamps and earn free drinks quicker.

I always go for a Costa coffee instead of Starbucks or Nero. Their coffee has something special in it.

Staff member (tall skninny lady with brown hair on a ponitayl) was really helpful about my kcal questions despite being busy. A good asset to the company.

sort of an awkward service, probably my fault but good coffee i guess.

Had to pop in for a virtual meeting so ordered a coffee and had my meeting. A small venue so could get busy. At least I was able to stay out of the rain when it poured down.

Todo lo que se espera de una cafetería de primer nivel. Con wifi, música inmejorable y un ambiente muy cómodo. Hay variedad de cafés y comida

Never have filter machine on so they can upcharge. Go to pret and get better coffee from friendlier staff.

I am very concerned about staff working in there. Both of them who were working today afternoon turned out to be unprofessional ones. A gent who served me and a lady who tried to fix the issue. Firstly, they had an argument between themselves in my presence, secondly, I was served in unprofessional way. I suggest they should be trained better in term of barrista' skill as well as attitude to customers. Thank You

small cute coffee shop always provides our favourite costa drinks

Quick service, great for my morning coffee before uni

They really know all about coffee!

Accogliente e tranquillo per fermarsi a prendere un caffè ☕

Service with smile. Grateful place for a cup of coffee.

Nice coffee shop with good friendly staff.

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.

Friendly staff and quick service. Always clean

I am absolutly satisfied with coffees, costumer service even bathroom as well. Otherwise, I've been on Sunday.

I couldn't sit in Costa because I didn't have a smart phone to scan the track and trace app. I even proposed to give my name and phone number but they refused. Not everyone can afford a smart phone :(

Good for a great bite and drink on the go or sit in. If you sit in don't forget to track and trace.

The hot chocolate here was refreshing and delicious.

This place has lots of plugs so I was able to change my phone and laptop whilst having a drink

Η αληθεια ειναι : απο τις λιγες "καλες" επιλογες για καφε.

Strong coffee but nothing special

This is my local Costa. Even in busy times service is quick and the place usually clean and tidy.

Great customer service, lovely staff!!! Well done guys!

Visited Costa near Farringdon a few days ago. It is a nice place with some seating. The coffee is always very good and my favourite caramel latte has never failed me!

Good place but coffee not hot enough!

Friendly staff, quick service. Seems quite nice place in this busy area.

Good customer service, comfortable seating.

The space is not so big, but you find inside good service, good coffee, true smiley! Enjoy 🙃

Esta es una pequeña cafetería al lado de la estación. Hacía mucho calor cuando estuve allí (abril), lo que alivió un poco el ritmo. El cafe estaba bien

Pretty decent, but with those prices - those ladies baristas could move faster in rush hours

Nice place with excellent coffee

Costa in UK is absolutely awesome. Love their low cost as compared to Dubai. Their hazelnut hot chocolate was too awesome🥰

Great Costa! One of the best in that area!

The girl that served me was the doppelganger for Scarlett Johansson but the latte was even better

Cowcross road...plenty of seating...always good

Always coming back for great coffee

Don't bother. The coffee is poor

Place to grab coffee with work mates or friends Free wifi!

Staff is friendly, providing excellent customer service.

Wonderful ginger bread latte ))

I came at 16.12 and it was closed.

Its a costa coffee. Just like all the rest. Still end up there every so often

Excellent service and pretty good wireless charging equipped.

It's a coffee shop. They sell coffee. Cake and that's about it.

Nice helpful staff, good little spot by Farringdon station. Toilets available and sitting area. Wireless charging area also available.

Staff were pleasant and making everyone feel welcome. Made good coffee

Horrible coffee near to the station

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... ;))

Abbiamo scoperto questo locale che si trovava vicino al hotel in cui io e la mia famiglia alloggiavamo, e per alcune mattine della nostra permanenza abbiamo fatto colazione, consumando cornetti e cappuccino che erano veramente squisiti. Il personale era veramente molto gentile, il locale pulito e disponeva di tavolini interni dove sedersi per consumare l’ordinazione.

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 ☹️.

I hate Costa. Sugar load worse the other chains...

Someone needs to learn how to make coconut late... cup went straight to the bin...

Nice lattes and friendly and helpful people here. It can very busy on rush hour and a bit chaotic

Damn...I virtual live here...the coffee is too nice!!

Ok Costa, usually some space to sit.

Arrogant and impatient staff, who constantly try to up-sell large coffees when you ask for regular, to the point you have to watch what they put through the till.

Warm wonderful and fantastic service
