I visited the cafe 3 times during my 4 day visit to Abingdon. The customer service was excellent with lovely friendly staff who went out of their way to help other older customers even when busy. Very nice location on the square.

I come here regularly and the staff are always so friendly and polite, even when they’re rushed off their feet. I love extra vanilla in my lattes and they’re always very generous. They’re happy to accommodate any request and very patient.

Visited here for the first time today , I have too say wasn't overly impressed. I really wanted a sandwich, i am colieac so couldn't see any gf options, I asked the server and was told they don't have any savory items but I can have a brownie for my lunch ! Err no! Lots of vegan options but no gf ... I ordered a caramel frappe and it was disappointing, won't be rushing back.

Coffee with friend. Enjoyed a lovely latte here today when meeting a friend to catch up. Very enthusiastic barrister who seemed to be enjoying his day! Offered me some advice on purchasing items very helpful! One mark knocked off purely as I had a pushchair, was with a friend who is pregnant and nobody offered to assist with the transportation of hot drinks despite coming to our table with food. Only a minor thing, but would be really appreciated!

Full of teenagers causing a riot , wasn’t the atmosphere I wanted to enjoy my drink , chucking signs and anything they could get their hands on. Swearing and generally abusing anyone in the way . Eventually the manager kicked them out , but atmosphere ruined. Hot chocolate was made with cream out of a can wasn’t asked if I wanted sprinkles just assumed I did , I didn’t wasn’t pleasant . Shan’t rush back in a hurry.

Popped in for a takeaway hot chocolate, the guy making the drinks kept licking his fingers and wiping them on his apron. The hot chocolate was so bland I didn't think there was actually any chocolate in it. I didn't go back as laden with shopping I put more chocolate in at home. Won't bother going there again.

Having just finished a section of the Thames Pathway we needed a coffee and hit upon this Costa Coffee. It was not too busy for late on a Sunday. However the Barrista was exceptionally friendly, helpful and really interested in what we had been doing. She volunteered some god information (taxis etc) and could not have done more for us. Well done! The coffee was great too.

Passing in the street very close to the city square, the aroma of vanilla irritates our nose. It comes from Costa Caffee in Abingdon. This made us enter this very nice Coffee. They served us immediately with the coffee and the sweetness chosen as their preference - Cheesecake with vanilla and chocolate cake. We was delighted with this wonderful miracles. Coffe was hot and nice too. Costa coffee is always a favourite choice for our coffee and friendly service.

We have been house sitting at our Son's house in Abingdon so I took the opportunity while my wife and daughter were at a garden centre to pop into Abingdon turn centre to grab a coffee and read my book. Costa coffee is always a favourite choice for their great coffee and friendly service. Well, This Costa Coffee was no different and lived up and surpassed my expectations. I was able to drive my medium sized mobility scooter straight in and up to the service counter, place my order then park near to and sit at a table with a great view across the market Square. My coffee was brought in a timely fashion to my table as I am unable to carry anything whit using my one good seen to hold my stick. I drank some coffee and opened my book but after only a short while I realised I was in direct sunlight and was getting too warm. As my table was in this instance just opposite the service counter I called over for some help to move to a cooler spot. Without delay a very pleasant young men bend Cameron came over to assist, caring my coffee and glass of ice water to a nice spot with a cooler disposition but with equally nice views. He returned to ask if I needed any personal assistance and ended up carrying my back pack and book as well. When I had esconsed myself in my new seat, again assisted with my chair pulled out etc, I settled down to a relaxing 30 minutes or so sipping my flat white and admiring the scenery of Abingdon's old market square and the various people wandering passed the coffee shop. I have to admit to being a people watcher, always fascinated by the multitude of folk of differing styles and backgrounds who live in areas we visit. Anyhow, after my coffee, my iced water was a welcome thing on this warm sunny day. I left Costa after about 45 minutes all in all, having only one regret, the timing of my diet which denied me sampling the cakes or scones on offer. I did see an older couple tucking into scones with butter and jam and they looked very content indeed, bless them. So all in all my solo escape into town was deemed by me a great success, I even got through two chapters of my book. I would highly recommend Costa on the square to anyone who likes great coffee and a five selection of eats. I did notice later that there was another Costs Coffee very close to the bridge in the town, so that we'll be my next stop on my next escape, simply for comparison, although I anticipate the quality being much the same.

We have used this Costa on many occasions and have always been really happy. On this occasion though I watched the young lady run out of hot chocolate whilst pouring it into our cup and then simply fill it the rest of the way with milk. This was very lazy and there are plenty of other coffee shops in town we will consider using following this poor service.

Not very nice ! I visited this Costa for the second time this year first time was ok second time not good! I came with my two daughters a small baby. we ordered hot drinks and sandwiches. The sandwiches were pre packed so cannot really say anything about that apart from the fact it was tasteless my toasted sandwich was pale floppy and undercooked the hot chocolate was cool not hot the staff were friendly. The cafe was empty it’s too expensive for underwhelming food and drinks come on costa you can do better than that or you may find you will be closing due to lack of customers!

Visited on the 10/12/17 for an Xmas latte and a Xmas hot chocolate. My wife enjoyed her hot chocolate (always does)! The billionaire’s latte was a bit sickly and the sprinkling of crunchy bits which were scattered on top sank to the bottom which was a bit unappetising. On the whole it is a very good Costa though with good service.

Since this New Costa has open in Abingdon, it has to be the best IMHO, the staff have a very courteous manner which is both warm and friendly. I am old fuss pot when its comes to coffee it must be hot and when I ask for a large coffee extra hot that is what I get which so pleasing, the place seems always seem's full when I visit which is no bad thing, the staff keep the place nice and cleaning. If your not a fan of coffee chains IMHO this one worth a visit if you're in Abingdon.

The staff here are quite rude and service is slow. I normally avoid Costa and go to Java across the road. We came to Costa as I wanted to try the toffee Apple hot chocolate.Despite asking for topping on it they did not put any on. When I went back to ask for some they put the tiniest amount on.Cold drinks are also not listed clearly on the menu board like they are in other Costa stores.

This is a really nice Costa. The staff are very friendly and the coffee is as good as you would expect. This would easily be a five-star review if it weren't for the lack of wi-fi. Yes, there is free wi-fi nearby, but it doesn't quite stretch to the back of Costa (where I also struggle to get phone signal) so pick your table carefully if you're planning to use a laptop. Otherwise, a nice cosy Costa!

Stopped for coffee on a glorious sunny day, sat outside, next to the window in the sun.Long queue but service was quick and good. Even blagged a few marshmallows for little one.Sat out in the sun, the awning overhead started to come out electrically. And as it did, bits and pieces of who knows what rubbish started to fall onto the table, into the coffee, onto the toast..Impressed? What do you think?Would go again as service was good but would pick our seat more carefully...

Went here one afternoon with a friend during the Christmas menu and asked for the toffee hot chocolate with an extra of whipped cream, something I didn't think would be a problem however the woman serving us gave us the funniest look as if I'd asked for mustard on it!! She then proceeded to patronise me and tell me how strange and weird my addition of whipped cream was. This patronising made my friend and I laugh a little and upon this she snapped at us 'I don't get what's funny' absolutely appalling attitude and the customer is always right clearly does not apply here!!

It's a costa, I don't need to say anymore. Seating outside is a good addition, but on a sunny day is even busier. I always find service slow in these sort of coffee shops, but husband loves his Costa coffee!Wish they would keep their dog bowl of water that's left outside full - we often walk down to town with our dog and sit outside with drinks.

Went here on Saturday 21 November with a group of friends for 4 drinks. Stood in a long queue which you do get at some Costa stores but what followed was absolutely shocking. The assistant Emma who served us is the most rudest person I and my friends have come across! First met by 'what do you want' Emma advised that 2 of the drinks they didn't have in, which are on the new festival menu. Not great to say it has not been out long. When asked why they hadn't got it a simple ' I don't know I just serve!' Reply was given.When my friend tried to make small talk she was completely rude and just gave one word answers and made it obvious she did not want to talk.A check back of drinks she had put down 5 drinks for 4 of us. When challenged back and saying we had only ordered 4 drinks as there is 4 of us she then became argumentative saying 'you've order drinks so don't you know what your ordering' after going through the drinks she had put down one of the drinks she advised us was not available and when said that she had told us that was unavailable she said she hadn't told us that. My friend stepped in and pointed out that she had said this which then we was met with her banging on the till to cancel one of the drinks.When trying to pay she wasn't happy I wanted to put my code in the pin and chip instead of using contact less payment and threw the pin pad on the counter to me.The 2 blokes making the chaps apologised for her attitude and was the only saving grace. The drinks were actually really nice but the service was absolutely appalling and I would never go in here again!

Jo and Reece make consistently good cappuccinos and lattes, though the other staff are less reliable. The queue is often out the door, which is a compliment to the quality of fare, but suggests a bigger shop with two espresso machines would be viable, especially in fine weather or when there is an event in the market square.

Absolutely horrible place to go. I ordered a fruit cooler and wrap. The drink came quickly but tasted terribly salty. The wrap however, took an extraordinary long time. I waited 10 minuites for them to heat it up. I then asked them how long it would be and they told me they had just thrown it away because they didn't know who ordered it. WHAT A WASTE. That's terrible.

Terrible service. Waited 20 minutes for a Frappuccino. When I drank it, it had remnants of the drink of the person before- chocolate chips when my drink was strawberries and cream. On top of this I did not get an apology. The manager laughed it off as though it wasn't a big deal. It was a big deal for me, however, as it made me late for a meeting.Overall this was a terrible experience- even below what you'd expect from a coffee chain.

This Costa has improved so much now that the premises are extended. It has a lovely view overlooking the market place and has a good range of drinks. You can sit outside too. A great place to meet friends and have a latte (my favourite). The coffee is so good that there is often a queue to get it though. It is definitely the best coffee in town and a treat I look forward to.

I've been here three times. Each time the place is packed with mothers and babies, and all the babies were crying, and the mums don't seem to notice it. It may be churlish of me, but I like to have a conversation, or maybe read a book, with my coffee. Either is impossible here. Last week I was there at about 11am on a Friday. The tables were all full, and not cleared between customers, so stacked with detritus. Once again, prams and pushcarts crammed into the small and noisy space. I won't try it again. It's odd how crowded this place is when there are so many empty shops in this centre.We went across the square to Throwing Buns and had a nice coffee and some conversation, a fine experience.

Good to see the Fox back open, New manager/Chef is very welcoming. Food was really good, tasty hot and large portions. We had burgers and steak. Pub is kept much cleaner than previously, tables wipes and cleared quickly. We'll be back. We could see more staff were required before they really market the place again. It would benefit from a few smaller tables in the restaurant area.

I went today to purchase a coffee which I did. My purchase was based on the fact that they would be closed a 9 pm as advertised on Google Places(Map). As I was sitting a gentleman I approached me telling me that they are closing in 10mins that was at 19:45pm. The gentleman didn't provide an explanation or neither apologises for the inconvenience caused. Avoid when you'are planning to sit down relying on their opening times.

Amazing time at Pablo’s, we went after the Abingdon fire works and they happily greeted us even tho they where closing the kitchen 3 minutes when we got that, that was on us, my partner had I believe the bacon burger and ginger beer. I had the butter chicken with a Oreo milkshake it was lovely the only downside was the onion rings being undercooked but again our fault coming three minutes before the kitchen closed. Amazing service left a tip :)

The drive through is quite good, never really have to queue for long. The helpfulness of the staff is a bit hit and miss though. There's a lad who works there some evenings, who is the proverbial chocolate teapot.
