It was a wet and miserable day, therefore it was seriously busy and steamy in here. Overall a lovely coffee shop but very difficult to manoeuvre if you have a pushchair and children. I wasn't overly impressed with the cleanliness of the toilets and it would be nice to have a slightly better age appropriate child friendly range of snacks and drinks available.
Place is very big, lots of seats but the tables are dirty and there are trays with cups and plates left on them. Rolls and sandwiches are prepacked and can be warm up which is nice. Good choice of coffees and teas.
Not bad.
A lot of space.
But Costa on Queen St is much better.
As for me taste of coffee is better (especially my favourite Honeycomb cappuccino I like more on Queen Street).
Standard drinks, nice open space, range of seating - enough for chilled comfybseatingbor more working lunch kinda style. It's nice, bright. The music, however, was rather loud, ended up asking them to turn it down in the end - which for heir credit they did pretty quickly - and much appreciated. Staff very nice and friendly, drink was really good standard
Friendly and well located in Cowley Rd. Coffee excellent as always, and not too crowded when I stopped there in the late morning.
Costa on Cowley Rd has great staff who are warm and friendly, particularly if you are a regular. in the days of the legendary manager, Monika, it was truly the place to be, though it's still a good place to hang out and drink coffee. One thing that lets it down--and other Costa stores--is that they employ staff from diverse countries and then, insultingly, have as free newspapers downright racist papers like the Mail and The Express. They thrive on multiculturalism in other words, and then indirectly feed socially hostile attitudes to immigrants.
Great store, great service. I think the manager used to work at the Templar Square Costa and she's lovely.
I'm glad that they're still open for takeaway!
Amazing service! I took my youth club of 30 students and they served us efficiently, professionally and even brought over complimentary snacks and drinks.
Definitely will be going there again.
Problem with customer who wanted to have two tables to herself in an already busy care and then wanted to order something not stocked by Costa. She then started moaning about someone during close to where she was trying to take over. Bag last?
Great coffee and very clean. Friendly staff
They do their best to serve you quickly even in busy times
