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 is the quintessential coffee stop, but this branch is a bit of a mixed bag. Nataliia and Krystl found the staff to be just delightful, with Yousuf and Sadiya winning hearts with their speedy service. However, one visit can land you in a coffee catastrophe. Dorothea encountered a barista who seemed ready to serve up yesterday’s leftovers, and Alyssa’s experience was so bad she felt the need to share her coffee intolerance struggles. Not to mention, Faduma had a run-in with a barista that made the experience feel more like a bad sitcom episode than a friendly coffee shop.
If you need a caffeine fix and don’t mind a gamble on service quality, this Costa might be worth considering. Just don’t expect consistency.
