One of many Costa coffee branches now with dismissive attitudes towards custom. Either the staff Members themselves seem to lack it , or the management do little to instil a sense of friendly customer service. Sad.

Adam served me today and he’s just such a lovely pleasant person. There were 2 other staff members there as well (didn’t catch their names) but they were all efficient and worked super great as a team and everything seemed to be working super well! Great work!

Second Americano from here in recent days and my advice is to order it extra hot or get a milk-based drink where they’ll at least steam it. Today, I hadn’t even reached the platform and I’d drunk the medium-sized drink. If I didn’t have a train to catch, I’d have taken it back. Lukewarm at best.

First time visiting this Costa kiosk at the Piccadilly train station after paying £3.50 on Too Good to Go for a surprise bag. Generous amount of delicious baked goods: 3 x sandwiches and two fresh pastries. Excellent food quality as our dinner. The staff were very friendly too. Would definitely come back again using the Too Good to Go deal.

Great place to pick up a real quality brew before boarding your train. Really friendly and helpful staff and efficient service despite the heavy demand which comes in lumps as trains arrive at the station. They are very quick in my opinion to get the queue down and it's a real quality brew.

Ordered a medium hot chocolate at Piccadilly station Manchester with 12mins till my train. They were busy with maybe 5 orders in front. Initially when I was in the Queue they were getting through orders quickly. However they took too long trying to figure out who belonged to prepared drinks. Instead of one staff member doing this they all were. Then the barista seemed to loose where they were up to in orders and was just looking at slips. Both myself and two girls had to leave without our drinks or would have missed train. It was a judgement to make the order but the staff are normally really organised and quick. It was mainly disappointing but also money spent without getting product.

Says that it opens at 5am, we waited until 5:08am but sadly we couldnt wait any longer as we had to get the train. If you say you open at 5 then you should be opening at 5, especially considering the kind of establishment you are and where you are located. Being in a train station means being open early is important

I went to the little stand next to platform 10 on a Friday morning and had the best service ever. The staff was very friendly and did not hesitate to accommodate me (my drink only came in a medium size, but they made me a large as his is what I wanted). The Hazel maple latte was delicious. Would definitely recommend when travelling in the morning.

The cafe is always crowded, this is normal. However the security guy was very rude. He was looking his phone. When I entered I asked him "Sorry, when the shop is closing?" He said "I have an etiquette, try again." I could not understand and asked again. He answered in the same way. I said "Sir, English is my second language. What I am gonna try again?" Instead of an answer he said "Try again". This was discriminative and humiliating approach.

Worst Costa coffee ever! There was no sweetener and when I asked was answered in a rude manner, "white sugar, brown sugar only" by a man who had the airs of a manager. I said I'm diabetic, was looked down. I brought the coffee cup back empty because there were no bins around and I didn't want to leave it anywhere. I repeat, I brought the cup and kindly asked if they could throw it, the man refused! In times like this when people are cutting on extras, great customer service is a must. Then people go bust and don't understand why and they miss the opportunity to sell more with bad attitude.

Ended up abandoning my coffee because they were being so slow and I had a train to catch. I understand if it's truly busy but the staff were quite frankly in no hurry whatsoever. I'd recommend ensuring you have at least 10 mins to spare if ordering here! £3 for nothing 😔

Filthy, coffee splatter, syrup leaks, engrained grime in corners .

The barista (with red long hair) at the little Costa booth at track 13 served me one of the most satisfying filter brews I’ve had. What a surprise. Didn’t expect that out of a 1£ coffee. Great aromatic depth, close to zero bitterness, and just the right amount of acidity. Great job!

Costa is my go to for coffee and the kids always want the fajitas or toasties. We were in the city from London last Wednesday. Staff are friendly but the croissants and pastry’s were definitely not fresh - they were spongey and unpleasant. It’s not the first time I’ve had Costa pastries so it was quite clear. Poor decisions being made. Little things like this let the chains down.

I visit here everyday for my morning coffee before work. (Platform 14 costa not the one at the bottom) I asked the lady behind the counter for my coffee which came just short of £4 . I don’t mind paying for an expensive coffee if the quality is there, which is usually is. However on this occasion I asked the lady for a cup of water. It’s like a ritual to me having a sip of water before my coffee however she refused and said ‘they’re bottles of water in the fridge’ for 1.55. When it came to paying I said I just wanted some tap water I can’t be paying 1.55 for a small bottle of water. She chose to ignore me and made me feel like I couldn’t afford it. The service disgusted me and put me in a foul mood for my busy day at work. Surely it’s illegal to refuse someone a glass of tap water when spending money.

I want to commend your barista at this branch. I have bought dozens of Salted caramel lattes recently, at several different Costas. He was the first to tell me what I had to work out the hard way - that it layers and needs a good stir. Thank you for your attention to detail.

Very ignorant young lady I asked her a question about the food I was purchasing and I didn't understand her response, I said that to her and she told me what she meant again after she let out a loud sigh, I apologised for not understanding her and she scoffed at me looked me up and down and said I guess I'm not British like you. No need for the attitude when I was just asking a question.

Staff are generally friendly and helpful but once this place gets too crowded, unfortunately, the staff are overwhelmed and they can only do so much so you may see that the place isn't cleaned up properly, the bin is full, spillages here and there from customers. Nonetheless, this is a standard Costa shop where you can get your usual coffee/tea/snacks fix here. I normally go for the Chai tea latte which is probably the best I've had from a chain.

Just visited for my first Black Forest soya hot chocolate of the year and the 2 woman running it were a joke, if you have an intolerance to anything don't visit as they won't make you a drink with soya or coconut milk. Very dissapointed at being told that they couldn't serve them because there was an issue with the syrup they use, pretty poor excuse when I could go elsewhere and get one but thought I'd use this one as I was on my way home. The staff shouldn't be discriminating anyone regardless of allergies, have been to this specific Costa before and had no issues but because of the woman who were serving Costa would of got a zero rating

Whilst waiting for a connecting train, I chose to have coffee and a toasted sandwich at one of my favourite pkaces in the Uk. This was COSTA NUMBER TWO AT MANCHESTER PICADILLY STATION. The staff were particularly friendly, and when I asked to have a napkin wet so I could wash my hands, the lovely senior lady gave me the bottle of hand sanitiser to use. The coffee and sandwich were delicious..as I find in all Costa coffee restaurants. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Lovely customer service, however, they rush about too much. We payed for cream on our drinks and a brownie and didn’t get any of it (and obviously it’s annoying as costa so so expensive anyway!) we should’ve checked our food before we left however we was in a rush to get our train and it was very busy trying to get your orders. Disappointed that we made so much for extras and didn’t even receive half our order!

I tried to use their trash facility and got told that unless they were Costa trash, I am not allowed to use this, despite the fact that the station has someone to clear out their trash bins. Seriously, I didn't realise that Costa is so precious about rubbish! So they would rather people litter everywhere in the station?

So you're in the station and want a coffee. Your choices are Starbucks, one of the more sandwich-oriented places like the Upper Crust, the kiosk on the lower ground floor by the taxis, or here. If you prefer Starbucks you'll obviously go there, but this is a good option and, for me, usually a nicer drink. This isn't really a sit-down place, although a few chairs and tables are outside, but is fine to grab a coffee before boarding a train. Service is fine, and if this branch is busy and you're heading up towards platforms 13 and 14 there is another one up there.

Saturday lunchtime, was told there was no table, we could see one and then got seated. Waited 20 minutes for tea and coffee after ordering and a full hour for cooked breakfast. Shocking service. Breakfast was lukewarm but didn’t complain in case replacement took another hour.

Edit - since the shopping centre closed and the Nero opened over the road this place has improved so much. I always thought a lack of staff was behind the slow service and chaotic atmosphere, and now it's quieter and less rushed the café is so much nicer and service is so much better. It's clean, well stocked, the staff are lovely, the coffee is a great price compared to Nero, the food is better, and the atmosphere is calm and friendly. Lots of the customers and staff know each other, making it a friendly place to be. The floor to ceiling glass walls are lovely to sit at and take in the outside world.
