Costa

Came in tonight 25 mins before close both girls were absolutely brilliant extremely polite and certainly helpful they were very busy cleaning down and trying to get sorted but they didn't try rush us when I asked about local takeaways they were more then helpful to give us there recommendations Will definitely be calling in again when we're back on holiday x

Same problem as with all Costas, staff that take ages to serve customers partly because they seem to have their own areas, the barista just does the coffee and the only other member of staff does everything else, which is a nonsense when the barista has ten coffees to make and the other staff member none, or when the barista is doing nothing and the other staff member is running around like a headless chicken. They should all be interchangeable, so no one is standing around doing nothing while some other staff member is rushed off their feet. In this case, they really needed three staff members, so someone could help, clear the tables, do the washing etc. Apart from that, horrible pastries, wonderful cakes, biscuits and coffees. Good air conditioning, too, but a very small outlet with just a few tables inside.
