Ordered a decaffeinated coffee as it was getting towards bedtime - received a cup of hot milk no flavour at all. Unfortunately I’m not keen on milk 🤷‍♀️

It has been my experience when visiting any Costa Coffee Shop the staff very rarely smile, say hello or make me feel welcome. Yesterday, in Hednesford Costa, the girl taking my order didn't even look... See more

No room for homeless people!!

The Costa shop in Eastbourne wouldn't allow a poor homeless person to come out of the rain and sit in the dry to use the Wi-Fi for a little while, which showed a real lack of humanity.

Shame on them!!

A truly welcoming experience and great coffee

I would like to give a shout out to the warm, welcoming experience at Costa Coffee in central Windsor. Ewa, Maria and the rest of the team served great coffee with smiles. I feel it is one of the best branches I have visited. I have been visiting Windsor to do some dog and cat sitting. I look forward to seeing you next time.

Excellent and very friendly staff Costa Eton

Excellent and very friendly staff in the Eton Costa branch . Kuldeep was exceptional with his help and friendliness . I had a problem with my Costa app and he spent time sorting it out so that my future visits to Costa will be a much easier experience on the app .
Observing his customer interaction he is a credit to Costa going above and beyond and making everyone feel very welcome .

The coffee and breakfast wrap was just what I needed on a Sunday morning. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Particularly Brooklyn, I found her very accommodating and helpful. She went the extra mile. Thank you Brooklyn. Xx

Visited Solihull Saturday 11 April 2025
Colleague name Laura.
Time 5.00pm

She was so rude.
I went to the till and asked for the meal deal. Drink sandwich and crisps.
She snarled
We only have muffins and coffee now.
She then snarled you know this vegan right.
Wow
Its a sandwich with the word VEGAN on it no shit sherlock!
She didnt even listen to my request and I had to repeat it 3 times.
1 heated sandwich to go.

Not hard to remember. Bought it over and snarled move away from the till. There was nowhere to go.
I was crowded loads of customers around me.

I was forced to walk well away from the till unable to collect my sandwich she stood there laughing.

Whilst talking she was talking through her nose like a snob. No need for that.

If as a store you are not doing a sandwich deal dobt have the adverts out.
Thats simple same as any store. No matter where. If the deal isn't on dont leave the offer in place.
As for laughing at me how rude.

I went to complain on line just 500 characters. Wow.
Be real!

I wont be going there again horrible woman.

Roaring Meg costa

Popped into the Costa in roaring Meg before doing food shopping and was greeted with a smile by a nice boy who was very patient with my awkward order and reassured that I was not being a nuisance. Great customer service!

Hot chocolate OK - but no Blue Light Discount.

Hot chocolate OK, also snack.
But this branch of Costa does NOT honour Defence Discount Scheme or Blue Light for discounts - other branches of Costa do. The store (Whiteley, near Segensworth, Fareham) had no information on entry door, even though they have had several disappointed customers with this issue. Staff were dismissive - take it or leave it.

Shrinkanomics!!!

I'm so disappointed. You've shrunk the cakes! Raspberry and almond bakes have always been my favourite, but how on earth can you justify the same price, yet making them smaller? Not only that, others seemed to have shrunk in the wash too! This kind of shady behaviour puts people off, me for one!

Meh!

Flat and tasteless, cheap coffee beans with a complete lack of decent milk. Goto Riga to see what real premium coffee actually looks/tastes like! At least the food is decent, but overpriced.
