Costa Coffee - Kinson in Bournemouth - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

cafe was filthy, staff were standing around chatting and raspberry and almond bake was stale

Needed more staff behind the till. And cleaning in the dining areas

As someone who works in hospitality, give credit where credit is due, Izzy who served me at the till was lovely and very welcoming especially as it was busy and Aaliyah who made my drink was also very friendly and even complimented what i was wearing! lovely staff lovely drinks too!

Used to be one of my favourite places to go especially with the kids, staff used to be so friendly. My eldest took her first steps there, I had my gender reveal for my youngest there, I was a regular for years ..but recently the staff haven't been very friendly towards me and I now don't like going there at all. They don't always have vegan options and it's just not like it used to be. I much prefer Starbucks now as a family place to go, staff are much more warming and child friendly plus they have way more vegan drinks options. Sorry Costa you've lost a regular.

I went there with my elderly service user (I am a support worker). It was Sunday midday. Costa in Kinson was full of customers, very long queue. However, there were only two members of staff... Obviously I had to wait long for one drink and my service user got very impatient. What is going on Costa management? Two members of staff during a busy time?

1 hour 20 minutes BEFORE closing time on a Saturday and there was 2 members of staff-1 was serving who was ok but pushy to hurry you up, the other was (no offence meant) hugely overweight, full of spots, her tummy was hanging down and out of her untucked top and had 3 cigarettes in the 30 minutes we were there just outsidethe 2 opened doors, messing about with the other staff member & absolutely stinking out the coffee shop. Upon arrival we thought they were ALREADY closed because of this but they just wanted everyone out it seemed at 3.40 on a Saturday afternoon!!! This coffee shop used to be busy and welcoming abd now it's a dive!!

Average costa coffee, perfectly placed across the road from parking.

Orderd 2 large hot chocs, one bacon bap and one sausage, the lady that was seeing to.our order was very polite but then this very rude larger lady jumped in taking over with a real attitude in her voice, made us feel very uncomfortable, she then went on to tell us she would let us now when our food was ready, 5mins later she's shouting across the shop floor your food is ready, which seemed abit extreme as it wasn't busy as at a quite time of morning , but she felt important, when i went to collect our food I asked if I could have a couple of serviettes she replied no! You can have loo roll!! I replied no thank you and returned to my table,, It's a shame how one member of staff can make a place feel so unwelcoming

Always a good coffee and great servixe

Stopped off to have a catch up with friends,it was quiet as it was early morning,tables were clear amd clean nice place

Staff are efficient and friendly. The premises is recently refurbished and is clean.

Relatively busy place, but there was always space to sit. The Team is friendly and professional.

Hi everyone, Today I am really disappointed with quality of service and latte I had Costa Kinson. I ordered for an extra hot drink. Was serviced lukewarm drink. It was in a glass with a spoon laid on the counter. For price I have paid it has been disappointing service and quality of the drink. Will think twice next time.

Service was really slow, it was about one o'clock and their food cabinet was nearly empty for lunch and we were told that was it. They burnt my panini but they were ignoring my friend who was at the counter waiting for our food and was discussing what to do as was the last tuna panini. So eventually they got the supervisor who came over and said they can do me a tomato and cheese instead so I had that but wasn't impressed with the service, I wasn't offered any form of compensation for burning my food or the wait. Won't go to the Kinson branch again. The furniture and decor was lovely though

I came in and had a really nice, maple, hazelnut latte. The service could have been friendlier. But the coffee was good and the place had a nice atmosphere.

Nice place to meet up with friends

No-one in there yet still had to wait to be served & when the did actually finally make eye contact she was grumpy as anything!

Simply perfect! Beautiful welcome and genuine service!

Wanted a iced coffee made a little different and Stacie was really helpful and my daughter and I will definitely be back ,thank you

Service was a bit slow with only two working the counter & machines but white hot chocolate is awesome as always!

Go in most days. The staff are friendly, helpful and make sure everything is right. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

I had a horrible experience in costa just now , me and my other half ordered a mango bubble frappe and a salted caramel frappe with coffee but the mango bubble had hardly any bubble in it and was given a really thin straw to drink it! Then my salted caramel frappe with coffee was made the first round with coffee but no caramel and was more iced coffee than frappe so I asked could they make it again coz it had no caramel but they went there is in an aggressive tone but they will make it again but the second one ended up being a caramel frappe but no coffee! Then mum toastie was not cooked long enough and the chicken inside it was stone cold!!! I have found the service extremely bad today and I will not be coming back and I know it’s not that hard to do drinks orders as I work in the same line of work!

Good friendly service , coffee made well.

Always slow service, have two coffee machines but only ever use one. Cakes massively over priced. Refuse to accept £50 notes no matter how much you spend.

Nice coffee shop, the Costa coffee is not great and also served in ridiculously huge cups, coffee should be served in a small cup, otherwise it's ok.

Great coffees and snacks. Nice Costa gifts

We have been going to Costa Coffee in Kinson (Bournemouth) for a couple of months. The staff are very friendly and nothing is too much for them. My friends, my Husband and I meet for coffee ☕️ in there every other week. Sometimes more often!! I am lactose intolerant and the staff, all of them, always make sure every drink I have is totally lactose free. The only negative is that the only alternative to dairy is Soya, which I usually have, even at home. Would recommend to everyone 🙂

I passed by as I do it every day during my school run for my little girl,, It was my first time there even so I use to live just around the corner from there ,, It was only cause my daughter wanted some pastry and a take away coffe that I stopped across the road and went in ,, well I can’t comment on their coffe cause I didn’t have one in this branch,,but I know that their aren’t capable to make a good espresso anyway,, so I took an iced coffe in a can ,, well ,regarding the pastry it was at list a day old ,, at list ,, it was soggy and tasted just old ,, not fresh or crispy as a pastry really is when fresh .. I was very disappointed cause that was my little girl quick breakfast before starting school.. you should be ashamed of yourself,, with a name like that you should give customers something that makes want you comeback,,, but was just rubbish for a price,,,I think you’re in the wrong business

Great place for my latte 😋 and get points if hold a card or mobile app 👌

Usually busy but clean and friendly staff mean that you're not waiting long.

Nice store, it had nice comfortable chairs and we enjoyed our coffee but Costa overall I do feel the cakes are over priced or they should do a cheaper range

I got a hot chocolate to takeaway it tasted of hot milk you can hardly call it barista qualified when you can do it better then three of us had drinks made by the same person all tasting despresso made by Aaron. The coffee shop establishment is okay but I will probably not come to this one from now on as it feels like I'm pouring money down the drain.

I always like coming here after shopping. Coffee is always good and the staff are really nice.

Coffee not to nice but lovely customer service

Fantastic customer service, clean and nit to busy for a morning coffee.

Can usually find a space to sit inside most times of the day we go. Coffee is good and nice selection of grub 2

Regular here, always great service. Thank-you.

Very popular spot. Usual range of drinks and treats. Friendly staff. Bit on chilly side

I always enjoy yhis Costa whether it is a takeaway or sit down. Staff is great which adds to my enjoyable experience

Coffee is good but staff are rude and I have personally witnessed the manger bullying the younger members of staff. Myself and another have complained to Costa head office as these you young workers seem petrified of their boss but head office refuse to reply....disgusting!!!!!

A lovely cafe style Costa, with plenty of seating. It normally has a full selection of the usual items a costa has available. Only ever seems to be two staff working, but they work fast, are lovely and make great coffee.

Poor service, male employee making coffees was lazy and rubbish

Lovely shop. Staff very pleasant 😊. Nice and clean. Will go again

Helpful staff, delicious food both M&S and Costa and great coffee

Always a Busy Costa Shop, very attentative Staff, Highly Recommended.

As I live 5 minutes away from here this is my go to place for coffee etc. There salted caramel frappes are my favourite and the place is clean most of the time and the staff are really kind.

A very busy place great service it did seem quite noisy inside but think that's the way the building is. There is outside seating but on this particular day it was raining & there is no shelter outside

Lovely lady who always has a smile 🙂

Fewer customers about but all the tables are still dirty 👎👎👎

The screens have been taken down making the store feel much more welcoming. Coffee great as always.

Nice place to meet friends for a coffee

Popped in an happy with drinks. Happy staff.

Usual standards of Costa, no complaints, friendly staff, lots of nearby parking.

It's ok I think the staff do not give out the personal service all the interesting is in paid I feel that there's no loyalty in the business the place was untidy especially the tables I put it down as a staff or lack of staff did not have time to do the tables

I did not expect myself and my guests to be barked at in such a rude and demeaning manner after spending over £50 in total in your store today! Then the girl in question stood and laughed when We complained to member of staff about it. That attitude is NOT good customer service.

Good service, nice coffee just what you expect from Costa.

Always a nice cup of coffee with a nice cake

Nice little place, free parking at the Tesco next door

Coffee was good, nice hot cross bun and friendly, chatty staff

Really great staff and good atmosphere n food

Costa kinson - excellent service, staff consistently good. Fast efficient and friendly

Lots of noisy children, parents not keeping an eye on them running around and banging empty drink bottles on chairs and tables.

Costa Kinson.....GREAT service and friendly staff. Thanks Julian

Love my weekly Costa.Friendly staff,lush drinks,lovely place to visit.

Coffee lovely, toasties were tasty, the almond croissant delicious staff were friendly cheerful and helpful cafe and tables clean and comfortable

Excellent coffee and great service. Very clean and welcoming atmosphere.

The coffee was lovely but the seating was hard. Good looking barista made up for the chairs though.

Love this Costa, lovely staff and always an amazing coffee.

Possibly one of the largest I have been in. Very clean.Fascilties also clean.As Costa's go give this a 5/5

Very busy place. Can't always find space inside, but overall it's nice to have a Costa close to home.

Enjoyable but still terrible for anyone who is gluten free

Friendly staff, fab Mocha's ❤️, I do ask for extra hot as sometimes it can be like warm! Only complaint is that the closing times definitely DO NOT tally...usually closed by 5pm not 6pm which is what it says on website!!!

Always clean premises with friendly staff. However they seem to struggle to make a decent cappuccino

Sat outside at the kinson shop was lovely until you could smell raw sewage from drains

One of the fastest for service around!

Very friendly and clean food was ok bit expensive but worth it

Relaxed place to meet up. Plenty of room and comfy seats. Coffee was hot and good service. Only negative was cakes were average and pricey. Worth it for the ambience.

Staff were fab and coffee was Costa quality 🙂

Nice place to meet up with friends service is a bit slow

The staff at Northbound Costa all deserve 5 stars, very friendly and really made us feel welcome. I also like that they are not behaving like the Covid Police, accept cash and serve the drinks and food in china rather than polluting take away cups and bags (unlike Starbucks). The quality of the coffee always is top - I only wish Costa could offer more Vegan options .... please?

Decent Covid safety procedures. Free babyccino for the kids, winner. Like the red berry cooler.

Busy , but staff quick and friendly

One of my favourite Costas. Always great service and hygiene is always high. Free parking is a plus

Not very clean. Track and trace did not work on our table. Girl serving was very efficient as was the coffee maker. No complaints about the coffee. Looked understaffed.

Kinson Costa is an oasis, you can kick back & relax. Plenty of choice for different coffees, good selection of cakes & snacks. Apparently their cheese panini is worth trying. As always friendly & helpful staff. Quick service considering they were very busy. Unusual for them, i had to ask for a knife & tissue. Love their tiffin (most of their other cakes are hard to resist) with my americano. The staff work hard, not easy on such a hot day. They take the covid rules very seriously, wiping everything down etc.

Not too impressed today, seems to be an issue with lack of cardboard cups, and carry holders, I thought this was the business of Costa

A bit crowded inside. Usual great cop of coffee.

dont go there very often, but love the coffee and grub at your mint palace

Great place, good drinks, bit over priced but taste good

No queues so a really quick service with a smile. There are a few tables outside if you wish to sit and breathe the fumes from the busy traffic. Takeaway is best option until seating indoors is allowed.

Great service today from the two lads working there.

We had to pay for large coffees as they were out of stock of medium cups but couldn’t possibly put medium drinks in large cups - because her manager said so!!! Bad attitude today, we weren’t impressed!

Coffee was ok, but service... Well... The staff could hardly be bothered to interrupt their own conversation to serve me

Awesome coffee. Really friendly staff

Service and staff were good,only drawback was my wife not being offered cream and marshmallow for her white hot chocolate drink.

Slow service, shouty lady behind the counter must be on commission to sell cakes and bacon rolls

Nothing to say you go in stand in line collect your drink and find a socially distant place to sit.like most formulaic places not a lot soul or intimacy no individual touches to it I could have been anywhere instead of somewhere.

The service is excellent , the coffee shop is spotless The staff are always welcoming it’s my favourite Costa in Bournemouth I visit every day and I’ve never come across it been unkept or dirty

It seems like all there shoos and machines have been adjusted to give you less coffee and more milk now for won't be using again

Friendly staff and drinks were made promptly
