🏠 The Mall Cafe, Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre, 54 Hempstead Valley Drive, ME7 3PD
Tier Achieved:
Clean. Reliable. Does the job.
The "lights out missionary" of food. Spotless kitchen, decent grub. Won't blow your mind, won't disappoint.
Costa Coffee feels like a reliable old sweater—comfortable but sometimes a bit worn. Marika and her team provide solid service, always with a smile, making it a decent pit stop for your caffeine fix. But watch out for some sketchy moments, particularly with cleanliness, as noted by a few patrons. Supermario's experience makes it clear that sometimes they just don’t listen to orders.
You might get a great coffee or a side of disappointment depending on the day. If you're in the area and need a pick-me-up, it's alright to drop by, just don't expect perfection on a platter. It’s a safe choice but not the place for gourmet coffee lovers.
"I cannot praise Marika highly enough."
"He was approachable, and eager to help me."
"Lovely staff who always give great service!"
