It’s a Starbucks. You know what you’re getting. We arrived late in the day, and the place was quiet, but we were made to feel welcome, with all the staff helping get drinks and treats, including pupcups for the two dogs. It’s difficult to remain enthusiastic when you’re approaching close of day, but all of the staff here were a credit to the company.

Staff are usually very friendly. The lack of gluten free food is disappointing - there used to be a panini as well as cake options, but can now only buy tiny bitesized cakes. Not a problem unique to this outlet however

I love starbucks and visit a branch daily, however I always feel let down at culver. The staff are always stressed out, even when it's quiet. No please, thank you's, and minimal eye contact....basic customer services! There always seems to be problem there, wrong order, wrong milk, no receipts etc. Nothing is easy or straight forward. Meeting friends/colleagues for a coffee should be enjoyable, but not here. Go elsewhere for less stress and better atmosphere.

The worst starbucks I have ever been to. Been getting the same starbucks coffee for months on end and this was the worst. It was a very busy Saturday but not only did they get the order wrong, they seemed to get every order wrong that was in the queue before me. Like 10+ people were saying their order was wrong. In addition to this the service was SO slow, which I understand is normal for a busy Saturday but they had 7 members of staff on and at least 4 of them were doing absolutely nothing. Clearly ignoring customers when trying to get their attention to say that their order was wrong. A few of the girls were stood around doing nothing but chatting, there was only 2 people actually working. It was also so dirty in there, you’d think the workers doing nothing could maybe sweep or clean the tables. Will not be returning.

My phone was getting repaired next door at fone World, I thought a hot choccy on a cold morning would be a nice treat. Went in about 10.10am and the member of staff was finishing an order and about 30 seconds later was still on the computer screen, eventually asked what I wanted "regular hot chocolate please" they then tapped the screen again and said "large hot chocolate??" (If this is a sales technique I didn't fall for it) so I re said "regular please" (before anyone moans I don't know the Starbucks names for the sizes) I was then told the price and I whipped a tenner out my pocket (sold a mk1 mx5 1.6 16v eunos roadster engine cam cover and gasket for £15 the day before so had it in my pocket) and the person said "sorry this is a cash free business" and as my phone was getting repaired I couldn't pay Google pay🙃 Walked away empty handed but with a tenner in my pocket so I'm happy Customer service 1/5 Staff meeting could be organised and called "it's free to smile"

I was having a stressful morning and I decided to grab a coffee and cake before heading to university. The staff member greeted me and was very friendly. I felt super at ease as we had a little chat about the day before I took a seat to get some work done. My coffee and snack was amazing and such a calm and warm environment to be in. A test fire alarm went off but before this happened a staff member kindly warned customers in a friendly and calm way as to not distract or interfere with their usual routines. I could not praise the guys there this morning enough. You made my day.

Ordered a Meat Focaccia and I can honestly say it was one the worst filled sandwiches I've ever seen. One thin slice of ham, 2 thin slices of salami and not even enough cheese to melt onto the bread. For £6.55 I'd expect at least to be able to see the filling between the two slices of focaccia. Should have bought the ingredients and made it myself for half the price.

Very disappointed in specific members of staff, recently heard other complaints towards her. She was incredibly rude and was swearing multiple times at my friends and i.

Incredibly artful atmosphere with one particular awfully rude employee. We were kicked out as two out of 9 of my friends hadn’t bought a coffee as they do not accept cash. We were cashing no issue and there was plenty of room for more customers. One member of staff stormed upstairs and swore and shouted at us to leave and threatened to call security. It is honestly embarrassing and needs to be sorted out.

The cake counter had dirty Glass. Soooo many dirty tables with empty cups and plates, yet three staff standing behind counter When there weren’t any customers and just giggling together looking at a mobile phone. Upstairs, loads of groups of teens without drinks. Just chilling like it’s a student canteen. Quite intimidating when I went up to use loo. One of the upstairs booths occupied by a snogging emo couple. Very odd. Coffee was ok but wouldn’t go back again as I believe their hygiene standards are poor.

This evening we came to Costa as a group of 9-10 people and ordered several drinks. Unfortunately, our cappuccinos were very bitter, and none of us could drink them. We are regular Costa customers and drink coffee multiple times a day. When the coffee tasted too bitter for us, we politely informed the staff and requested some extra milk. The staff member responded rudely, saying, ‘This is how we always serve it. Order a latte next time,’ in a very condescending tone. We explained that we drink coffee daily and that this was not the usual taste. Additionally, we were told that Costa Rewards don’t work here because it’s a franchise, but I mentioned that this is not accurate, as rewards should be usable if we are using the Costa app. Overall, the staff’s attitude was not polite or customer-focused, which left a very negative impression.

I don’t normally write reviews but credit where credits due. I’ve visited the anchor three times in the past few months and every time the food and service was amazing. This is one of my local pubs and ive not been frequenting it for a few years now after a few bad experiences there but since the new owners have taken over I can confirm they’ve turned it around. I’m so glad they’ve taken over as it’s given it the much needed breath of fresh air.
