Extremely filthy. Hair and dust and marks all over the seats, the tables were all sticky and worn, the floors looked like they had never been mopped. No toilet paper in the ladies bathrooms, the bins were overflowing. It’s very rare I write a review but this place was disgusting. I couldn’t even bring myself to at my food!

Seriously in need of a do-over - tables are peeling, chairs are greasy, the floor is so dirty and the paint on the walls is flaky, with graffiti and finger marks. There are so many tea rooms and cafés in Tenterden that this one is definitely worth a miss.

Girl behind desk loudly talking about they don’t know why we tried to order large instead of medium because they haven’t sold large for 5 years (my first time at costa so I don’t know!) talking to man behind the desk who was on his phone. handed me drink without putting the lid on propperly, so spilt all down my new white jumper. As I was cleaning myself up she asked what did I need, I said nothing thank you the lid wasn’t on propperly, and she turned her back to me and said the most sarcastic ‘sorry’ I’ve ever heard and nothing else. 0 customer service

I usually don't write reviews, but I feel like I should. Two Sundays ago, I went to this coffee shop and the staff were amazing! A girl and two boys, all teenagers, served me. One lad made me a delicious flat white. My wife spilled some milk, and a kind teenage girl with blonde hair came over and cleaned it up while chatting with us. I didn't catch her name. There was also a gentleman at the till who was always smiling and lovely. They were understaffed but still helpful and kind even though it was very busy. The coffee was delicious! The cafe is very out dated though. The staff definitely needs a pay rise!

Always visit this coasta when passing or in the area. So much so that Sam in particular gives fantastic customer service and is a credit to the team. He always remembers me and my drink preferences and always greets me with a smile. The store environment is always pleasant and clean. My only negative is that the toilets could do with an upgrade. Looking quite tired. Thanks to all the team for their hard work. Very much appreciated.

Since when did Costa stop serving large Caramel Latte? Or is it that the staff do not know what drinks they serve only asking as when ordered my usual drink we was refused it and the guy serving just kept saying we don't do large Caramel Lattes and would not listen to us. Never been told this before so train your staff to know there drinks before letting them loose on serving your customers.

Always enjoy going in here. Coffee is always good and served quickly. Cakes, toasties etc are always tasty. Lots of space inside can always get a table. Staff friendly and work hard - it can get really busy in there sometimes! There is a ramp to get to the back seating area and a toilet on the ground floor so it has disabled/pushchair friendly loos. Toilets upstairs also.

I was at Tenterden Folk Festival a fortnight ago and several of our party said that Costa was v slow. I waited until 1130 and managed to get served fairly quickly - there were 3 servers. At 1315 I went in and there were 13 people in front of me and 2 servers; there were 2 tables with people sitting at them. There was another server cleaning a seating area,  despite there being several spare tables.  Several in the queue behind me were huffing and puffing.  One of the servers who was cooking sausages in buns kept on dropping the sausages on the counter, picking them up with her fingers and then licking them. After 20 minutes another of my party came in and I told him I'd get him a coffee if I could but that I'd been waiting a long time; after 30 minutes I gave up, still being 5 people away from being served.  Throughout this time the reserved area became extremely clean and yet still no one was sitting at any of the other empty tables. 1.  A delay of 30 minutes during a well-publicised event is ludicrous as it speaks of incompetent staff poorly managed. 2.  One server taking 30 minutes to sweep and clean an area consisting of three tables is ridiculous, particularly when there was other seating available. 3.  Servers not having the right tools to produce food and/or not knowing not to lick her fingers is a breach of I-can't-imagine-how-many food laws. I have a loyalty card and enjoy Costa coffee more than any of the other high street brands, however, I was in and out of next-door Nero in no time.  I think it's time that Costa management took a serious look at this shop.

While waiting to be served the lady in front of me in the queue, was just stirring her coffee at the counter and asked the male server if she could put the used stirrer on the tray.She was told in a very rude manner'There are waste bins over there"unbelievable, she had just spent about £15 pound.My turn now, ordered 2 lattes and asked for one to be extra hot.I sat down and waited.When they were ready they were put on the counter, no your coffee is ready now, no please or thank you.When i asked which one was extra hot ,i was told feel them.Idont think so love which one is it then.The very rude male server then said"i done them both the same,no sorry or offer to replace.The most rudest people i have ever encountered in a service to the public industry And the latte seemed to be watered down, avoid like the plague

Visited this Costa as part of a visit to the Christmas markets. While the food and beverages themselves were good and of normal costa standard, I was more disappointed by the service. A 2 year old child in our group was bought a baby hot chocolate and accidentally dropped this close to the till area. My partner asked for some tissue to clean this up and what I presume to be the manager rolled his eyes and stated it would take more than that to clean it up. There was some blue roll next to the till, so my partner said he would use that to clean up the spillage. There was NO effort from anyone to do this on my partner’s behalf and the presumed manager kept looking at us and rolling his eyes in between cleaning the ovens. No offer was made to help us, nor did they put down a wet floor sign so there is no regard for customer safety or service. Probably the most disappointing costa I have visited. The only reason it’s 2 stars is because the drinks and food were good as expected.

We ordered two drinks one of which was an iced mango drink. Which came with a straw. The service and the drinks were fine. But the straw was useless. It leaked and basically fell apart about half way through the drink. This is not a criticism to Costa. But the main reason for reviewing is to comment on all aspects of our visit so others can make their own choice of where to visit. Also if the management read these reviews. They can act upon any negative issues raised. I advise a different type of straw be sourced as the ones provided aren’t capable of doing the job. And when they leak and drip down the customers front. It’s not amusing.

This place is beautiful! You can easily park, you can make a donation for this, but it is not mandatory. The dogs are allowed loose in certain places and fixed in some places, this is indicated due to live stock. You can take the easy routes, through the grass, which is easy to walk on in sandals. However, me and my husband + our two dogs, we walked the devils kneading trough that is in this area. Walking shoes are recommended, it is steep but really worth it! What a beautiful environment. The climb up is tough but there are steps. Take your time and breaks and enjoy everything you encounter!

Ordered and paid for our meal at 12.45pm. Soup arrived cold and had to be sent back. At approx 1pm we were told that the kitchen was prepping for a pre-booked party of 20 and there would be a 20 minute delay for our food. This ended up being a 40 minute wait. We had not been advised about this situation when ordering and paying. No compensation was offered. We will not be returning.
