Authentic pleasure of visiting Costa Coffee, and it was an exceptional experience. The customer service was outstanding; the staff was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure a delightful visit. The ambiance was cozy, creating a perfect atmosphere for relaxation or work. Had a hot chocolate, a flat white and some food, delicious treats further elevated the overall enjoyment. Costa Coffee has truly mastered the art of creating a welcoming space with exceptional service—a must-visit for coffee enthusiasts!

Always really lovely staff. Today, my son burned his mouth on a hot chocolate (nobody's fault) and Jenna came and checked he was OK, brought him a drink of water and some tissues to wipe his tears and a treat to make him feel better. Amazing customer service

Lovely clean and new. Called a drive through, but there is a very nice indoor seating area. They sell the usual Costa things and it's done out in the usual Costa corporate design. There are also parking bays available. Staff were very pleasant and friendly. Will definitely return.

Nice place. Bright and airy inside. Some seating outside but only one bench with shade.

When the barrista is so friendly and the coffee and art is this good, five stars is barely enough... even if I did ask for a take out

Always good service here, friendly and fast. The usual Costa selection of food, availability of pastries can vary a bit, but they do an excellent sausage bap. Very handy for EV charging, 6 Instavolt chargers next to it.
