Absolutely appalling customer services. Clearly did not want to serve me or listen to my order. The staff continued to talk to each other. When served my order , they don’t know how to make macchiato

My glasses suddenly broke and whilst quite blind, Hana and Kim from the Sandbach Southbound branch were absolutely amazing! Even though I just asked for tools to do it myself, they went the extra mile of fixing my glasses themselves and doing as much as they could to ensure my glasses wouldn't break again for the rest of my journey. Honestly saved my night as I still had a very long drive and unlike other staff at Roadchef (at McDonald's) they actually stepped up to help. Big love to Hana and Kim :D

We visited the Costa Drive through on Aug 5th after a long journey. It was a much needed respite. Our server (I didn’t catch their name but they were young, blond and masculine presenting) was so warm and friendly, really putting us at ease when we struggled to order (I have disabilities and my dad has never ordered on my behalf before). Our server went the extra mile and even made sure I got my Costa points after I wasn’t sure how to use the app. My chai latte was delicious and my croissant was lovely and buttery!

Absolutely appalling customer services. Clearly did not want to serve me or listen to my order. The staff continued to talk to each other. When served my order which was then missing the syrup I asked for (as they weren't listening) the staff member was rude when asked if the syrup was in, requested I needed to pay for it as he hadn't charged me. If it had been a genuine error, absolutely, but I got the distinct feeling as I approached the till it was an inconvenience.

£2.50 for a bottle of water ! Apparently water isnt £1 with a hot drink as the hot drink (cortado) wasn't large enough for that offer to stand. The cortado btw was £4.05

When I say that this is the BEST service i have recieved, i just don't mean in coffee shops, i mean ANYWHERE! I dont give this sort of praise easily as those that read my reviews know but the way i was treated from start to go was simply impeccable..thank you to SOPHIE, DAN and KAREN for literally blowing us away..keep it going guys and hopefully your seniors will read this and use your skills to encourage and train other Costa employees..👍

Such friendly and efficient bunch! Recognised a couple of staff from another recent stop. Kind and interested in the customers journey. Great coffee and yummy cakes. We really appreciate how great this particular service stop costa is. Your employees make the difference. I’d choose great service over great coffee. Makes a difference when you walk up to such welcoming faces, breaking up a long drive. Happy employees, happy customers! ❤️☕️🍰 Thanks from The Birchy Girls who were on their way to Liverpool.

The last time I visited this Costa, the experience was pretty poor. This time it was even worse. Not that many customers (about 4 in front) and with 4 behind the counter, I expected a quick service. No Chance! How long does it take to make a couple of cups of coffee and charge someone for them. Too long TBH. Can't say this will be back on our itenerary when travelling North. I find it impossible to describe the poor standard of Service Area provided by the big 3 of Moto, Roadchef and Welcome Break. I really think the monopolies & mergers folks should be addressing the fact these places are so dire. Been a year since I last visited - unlikely to be back.

I stopped off for a coffee during a long journey. Despite there being four (very young) members of staff, service was very slow; especially for a simple double macchiato. And then, the "trained barista" served not so much a double macchiato as something akin to a cappuccino.

I did self-service ordering for the first time - SMALL Latte and LARGE Cappuccino - only to realise when we were on the road that the cappuccino was the incorrect size. The server clearly didn't read the ticket properly so, unfortunately, you end up doing a part of their job for them. Complaining wouldn't work as they will likely stick up for their team and blame the customer, which is plain wrong. In-person serving for me in future.

Shambolic non-existent service from the staff at Costa Coffee inside the southbound services on the M6 at Sandbach. I stood there at the checkout for 8 minutes without even being acknowledged before I eventually put back everything I'd picked up to pay for and walked out without a drink and without my lunch. The two members of staff plodded through the two orders they were working on without even bothering to say hello let alone serve me. Complete ignorance. Not a training issue either, just completely brainless people.

Terrible Customer service, an older member of staff in particular was clueless, intimidating and not helpful at all. As people of colour we had a negative experience which we noticed was directed only to us as the white customer after us received a warm welcome. We were also talked down to as if we didn’t understand what was being said when in fact the staff didn’t know anything about their own rewards system.

Terrible Costa - my reusable COSTA cup that I use everywhere was refused as they said they couldn’t label the cup as it was busy or it was soya so they weren’t allowed to accept ? I’ve been to costa 100s of times and uses reusable on multiple occasions. Disgusting - on top of that they didn’t even knock the reusable discount off and I was told I had to pay full price ? Horrible experience

We regularly used to stop here for coffee. Will no longer do so unless they remove the touchscreen ordering, for the following reasons 1 Hygiene issues, how regularly are the screens sanitised? 2 The customer is expected to do some of the work of the staff yet the coffee still costs the same. 3 I don't order food from a photograph, the customer needs to see how fresh, or otherwise, the produce is. When we visited today there were no customers, the two staff leaning on the counter watched us with gormless expressions. So we didn't bother and drove on to where there was a Starbucks.

Dreadful service. Will not pour coffee into your cup. They could do this with no risk to themselves and without touching your cup but insist on passing you their cup which she has handled. Also insist on putting a lid on which she did using the whole palm of her hand over the top of the lid. If she had the virus you are certain to get it by drinking from coffee provided from here! It seems as long as their staff don't catch it from you then it's fine for them to pass it on to their customers!!

Review for the DRIVE THRU on M6, Sandbach, Motorways Services. Excellent service by the young gentleman, who gave me exactly what I asked for despite me being very confusing (I was very tired). He was very professional and friendly. I could see through the serving hatch that he was keeping the 'kitchen' very clean and tidy. The best Mocha I have ever had. Lots of froth and the perfect temperature. Highly recommended.

We live in Sandbach and like Costa. Yes cleanliness is up and down and that's a bug bear but generally we like the buzzy atmosphere. Most irritating thing is how they always start cleaning ready for closing way ahead of closing time. We nearly walked past today thinking they were closed because the chairs were on the tables in the front at 3pm when closing isn't until 5pm?!?! Mop and bucket are here ready, in the middle of the shop. Stop it please, it ruins the feel of the place and devalues your paying customers.
