Costa Coffee

I love sitting in this particular Costa, in the centre of the old town in Ruthin. Ok, it's a chain coffee store, and the menu is the menu. But two things make it a treat. One is the staff and the way it's run. The team who have the franchise are always so happy! All of the staff seem genuinely to be having a good day. Every day. So the coffee and the atmosphere is great. There are a few coffee shops and tea rooms in Ruthin, it's a beautiful town, very busy in the summer. But the local community choose this as their favourite or regular coffee place. Groups of friends, from retirees to Mum's and babies. Weekly local meetings and tourists enjoying the suntrap and views. It's just a cheerful spot. The second reason I love it in here are those views. Look left up into the historic market town square. Look across from this hilltop towards Moel Famau, the highest point on Offas Dyke. Or look ahead onto the old Castle hotel and it's Georgian edifice. Come for the coffee. Stay for the warm cheerful atmosphere and attention to detail from the staff.

Usualy would only visit on bank holiday's when my usual cafe was shut.I would alway's enjoy my visit.They specialise in their coffee.My favorite is Saulted Caramel Lattee.There various cold drinks with fresh cream etc (can't remember their official titles)are a treat. Since about a month I have been visiting about three times a week,due to rude staff in an other cafe I went every day !Good ,lovely friendly staff who seem glad to see you,especially Vicky,who sadly has left for some where else ! The beginig of last year I accidently left my credit card there.Went into a panic when I realised I 'd lost it.Had it cancelled in the bank.Visited three day's later and the pleasant honest member of staff who served me on the previous vist handed back my card !! I was very impressed by her honesty and thanked her for it (and being honest )Not sure of her name,but she lived in Rhyl.
