I prefer Costa to Starbucks, but then again I suppose it's entirely up to you, I think younger people prefer Starbucks they seem to do a lot more chilled 'hip' beverages and Costa is more a chilled out vibe of a place, I'm not decrepit but it's nice to go somewhere and get some peace lol, anyway since COVID my taste buds have totally changed and I'm finding a lot of coffees very bitter, however Costas latte hits the sweet spot every time, lovely taste and always pipingly hot, the food side always look nice and fresh, my son loves the millionaire shortbread, price wise it's on par with other chains so it's not surprising it can cost between 10 and 20 quid for 2 people to eat and have a drink, the staff are always pleasant if a bit young sometimes but as is life these days, almost all food and coffee shops employ younger staff, when companies say they are not aged when employing staff.... legally they are, but deep down us oldies know can't get a look in for jobs lol, and why not when we need to support our younger workers, keep up the good work and I'll keep popping in for a latte every now and then
I've been before, and on that occasion, the dining area wasn't the cleanest. This time, they were preparing to close, and seeing chairs on top of tables wasn't the most welcoming, but the young lady at the counter changed my opinion. She was so pleasant and chatty. I had a voucher for a free cake. She could have been dismissive, but she was so nice and genuine. She appeared to really enjoy her job, which is a rarity these days.
Oh, and the cake she recommended was delicious too.
I wish I had gotten her name. She's a credit to your business.
A electric atmosphere and awesome coffee great place to catch up with your friends and family amazing team working for you
Nice place for a cappuccino as usual! It is in the city centre so great location! Helpful and friendly staff. Also great customet service. Really clean and tidy around the cafe area. Glad I can use my loyalty card and earn points too!
Nice pleasant coffee shop. Good selection of food and drink and helpful staff. Got to admit 'tho I prefer the coffee at another chain & prefer to spend my bucks there.... Just a personal preference.
Very friendly staff greeting me when I walked in. I came in for breakfast and it was very quite when I walked in at 8:00, but it quickly got busy as it got towards 9:00. They staff suggested a new coffee roast they have and I was pleasantly surprised. Exactly what I would expect from a well established brand.
Nice food, drinks, service and very fast. Definitely recommend to anyone who wants a quick and delicious breakfast.
Speedy and friendly service by the baristas! Produced a great cup of cappuccino and summer fruit tea. It was quite quiet even though it had many people in the store.
