Costa Reviews 

All staff really goid and Natalie in particular at your Marchfield Way store in Weston-super-Mare is brilliant. Funny, charming, helpful and definately goes above and beyond to make customers feel welcome. It was not just us, she was super friendly to every customer and her colleagues. I had a tea and my friend a latte. The drinks were piping hot and flavourful.

I go to Costa coffee at Southampton general hospital 3 or 4 times a week for approx 6 hours at a time, the best thing about it is a staff member called Abdul (supervisor) hes always smiling no matter what is going on in his personal life, if Costa had a drink making competition he would win, he's so friendly and helpful when I heard he made supervisor I was not surprised if I have a complaint he sorts it out. I never give anything or anyone 5 stars because nothing is perfect there is no such thing but I give Abdul 4. 9 and a half stars I wish all Costa staff are like him he's a true asset to the company.

don't understand why are they still so popular. mediocre to bad coffee, often unprofessional staff and atmosphere of a train station inside.

Refused an iced coffee as it was ‘too far’ for the staff member to walk to fetch the ice ‘on her own’ still waiting for a resolution from the MOTO franchise

Birmingham airport - staff in Costa coffee . Very rude . They should not have this career if they can’t provide a polite customer service.

I visited your Costa Hyde branch in the afternoon on 9 May 2026.

I ordered two drinks, one of which was an iced matcha. The drink tasted more like iced milk, with very little matcha flavour. However, this was a minor issue compared with the poor customer service I experienced.

There was a member of staff wearing glasses, who I believe may have been the supervisor, as well as a younger member of staff whom I had not seen before.

I had already been waiting in the queue for some time while another customer was being served by the staff member wearing glasses. During that time, I briefly stepped away to look at the cakes and then returned to the counter area to continue waiting.

At that point, the younger member of staff began serving customers. As a few more customers had just arrived, he told me that I needed to join the back of the queue. I explained that I had already been waiting there earlier.

The staff member wearing glasses appeared to realise what had happened, but he did not step in to clarify the situation to the new staff member or apologise. Instead, he continued chatting and laughing with another customer, who was then served ahead of me while I was left waiting. No apology or acknowledgement was offered.

I found the entire experience disrespectful and disappointing. I have lived in Hyde since 1999, and today’s experience unfortunately reflected a broader feeling I have sometimes experienced as a British national of Chinese background. Regardless of a customer's background, all customers should be treated with basic fairness, courtesy, and professionalism.

Went to the Kirkham store whilst out with family today. The 2 baristas John and George were friendly polite and efficient. I love people watching and they both engaged with all the customers. The shop was clean and tidy. The 2 lads had to apologise as they had run out of skimmed milk and explained they were waiting for a delivery. I ordered 2 coffees sat at a table near the counter and the drinks were brought to us. Brilliant service

On 22 October 2025 I purchased a Caramel Signature Latte from the Costa drive-through at Moto Cherwell Valley services. The drink tasted unusual so I never finished it. I left the cup in my car overnight — the vehicle was unoccupied and I do not smoke. The following morning I poured the remainder out and a cigarette butt fell from the cup.

I reported the incident formally to both Costa and Moto. Costa acknowledged and passed my details to Moto. Moto conducted an internal investigation, concluded there was "no evidence" the object came from their premises, and offered £30 in in-app vouchers. I rejected this and requested a proper refund, goodwill compensation, a written apology, and disclosure of CCTV and food safety logs relevant to my order.

Moto stopped responding. It is now over six months since this incident. I have received no refund, no compensation, no meaningful apology, and no genuine explanation of how this happened. The complaint has been dismissed at every level.

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 at me. The Burntwood Costa the girls know me and are lovely. However, when a new person starts l am treated with total disinterest. I've worked Customer Service for 45 years and the first thing l do when I greet a customer is Smile 😃 it's not rocket science. Please train your staff to smile 😃

Costa coffee Hillington Glasgow, great coffee ☕ and service from the friendly staff. Always go to this branch as always a bit quieter noise wise.

I’ve been a regular customer, but I’ve had a repeated issue with one staff member. They keep pressuring my partner to greet them, which is uncomfortable.
Today (27 April, around 3–4 PM), they loudly called out across the café asking why my partner didn’t say hello or goodbye, in front of others. This felt unprofessional and embarrassing.
I have raised this before, but it keeps happening. This behaviour needs to stop. Address: 24-26 Church Rd, Stanmore HA7 4AW, United Kingdom

Very rude, erratic, xenophobic and racist staff, in many of their stores, especially catford and Bromley ones.
They 'forget' your orders half the time (God forbid you get an apology), leave tables filthy for hours but get a sudden urge to bang every chair around customers sitting peacefully, and sweep the floor as hard as possible to make sure as much dust as possible gets into your beverage.
They also let customers get harassed and endangered by drunks or drug addicts without saying anything (unless it is one of their friends).
Either the company willingly trains them this way, or they just employ whoever shows up at their door because a lot of their behaviours are very similar to severe mental illnesses, and that's extremely worrying... I'm here for a coffee, not deal with the staff's childhood traumas!

Unfortunately Costa has been very disappointing in the past years, I always used this company for coffee and even the express that are constantly out of order.
At the coffee shop is an embarrassing asking questions, ridiculous and inappropriate darling or honey, I just order a simple black coffee and I have every single time to get trough an incredible cascade and stressful question despite asking clearly a small black coffee, (yes even at the same shop with the same person) I come from a 20 years behind the bar and I am shocking to see this old approach, considering that each order take some time 10 minutes, between a bad system and infinite questions, over £3.25 for a small coffee and rate 2 service and quality on a scale 1-10.
Tables and bathrooms are dirty, I am not saying in a pick time, but early in the morning,
Costa has a enormous role in my grow in England and history of memory as I used it to study for qualifications and due to a nice modern design in some/most case a relaxing escape, but it truly lacking of proper organizations and love from this job, because the employer make this. I hope that self-service order will take over soon, owing to be treat like a number I more appreciate order from a machine and avoid the stress of inappropriate and long interview.
From a very affectionate client.

Shout out to the really nice lady (think she has Polish accent) at this drive thru. She is always pleasant and polite, makes my day a little better when you get customer service like this she's a credit to Costa :-)

Excellent food and customer service however very expensive

I have Costa coffees everyday not from
Costa Coffee shops but from Costa vending machines
in CO-OP or Sainsbury stores.
I must say the machine believe it or not makes a
better coffee than an actual Barista makes.

Well done Costa

First visit to the newly opened store at Norwich Broadway. I had a large order and Elys was very friendly and helpful.
I will be back!

Went to Costa store location unit 2 Queensgate peterborough yesterday
The staff there were extremely helpful and Kind so overall customer service was fantastic to say the least I highly recommend this store thank you for your service 🙂

On a recent flight to Dublin from Heathrow on Aer Lingus we purchased a cappucino in flight. The cappucino was un drinkable. It was full of powdery lumps. We complained to the in flight attendant who said they were all like that and that she would make a note of the problum. She offered an alternative hot drink which we declined. Not good.

I purchased a large jar of costa instant coffee and the taste is like the cheapest brand you could possibly buy it tastes quite bitter im not a wastfull person but this jar will have to be binned so its a no more buy of costa store products for me anymore, very disappointed
