Costa Coffee - Minster Services in Thanet

Visited Sunday noon. It was busy and booking is recommended. We were still accepted with a time limit. The location and massive windows on the bay are amazing. There is plenty of outdoor seating but these were not popular in January. VERY dog friendly..almost every other table has a small dog. Stacked high Sunday roast looked amazing but given the time limit we opted for copies and wraps. The service was great and despite the packed place was very efficient. Food was OK. Not cheap but considering the views on the bay..more than fair.

Amazing, impromptu lunch today! Beautiful cooking and presentation. Really interesting menu. The best meal we've had for a long time. Friendly, efficient waitresses. Would recommend 100% and will definitely return. Thank you 😊

Popped in for a couple of hot chocolates and a snack on a cold, sunny, Sunday morning. Made just how we wanted them. The carrott cake was awesome too 😋. The staff were very friendly, cheerful and helpful. Great value for money, too 👍

Review: Disappointing Experience with Unfulfilled Promises I visited this Indian restaurant with high expectations, but unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. The food was underwhelming and tasted far from authentic Indian cuisine. It lacked the characteristic bold spices and flavors, instead tasting bland, overly buttery, and reminiscent of a British interpretation of Indian food. We tried one vegetarian dish and two meat dishes, but neither were satisfying. Even the rice tasted oddly sweet and buttery, which was unexpected and unpleasant. The food, however, wasn’t the biggest issue. Upon receiving our bill, we realized that our order had been mistakenly charged twice. While this was likely a misunderstanding, it was frustrating nonetheless. We addressed the matter with the staff, and they assured us that the error would be corrected. Despite following up in person the next day and being promised a refund, five months have now passed without any resolution. Communication has ceased entirely, and we are left without the refund we were assured. It’s truly unfortunate, as this could have been resolved with a simple gesture of accountability. The lack of follow-through reflects poorly on the management and their customer service standards. Sadly, I cannot recommend this restaurant based on this experience.

Not our first rodeo at this fantastic establishment. A great a-la-carte menu with some typical comfort food choices, but also offer daily specials that are creative and very tasty. Today we enjoyed Haddock & Chorizo croquettes, Deep fried Brie with Cranberry sauce, Pork Tenderloin with Bubble ‘n Squeak and Black Pudding, Sea Bass fillet with Prawns & Tempura King Prawn, Ribeye Steak with Peppercorn sauce, Mushrooms and Chunky Chips.
