A solid coffee stop, but don’t expect magic.

Costa Coffee Bow is your average coffee chain—clean, tidy, and filled with the aroma of burnt beans. Lou’s got the service down, and it's nice to see friendly staff in a place that screams 'generic coffee shop.' It’s a decent spot to catch up with friends or get some studying done between lectures.

But let’s spill the tea: the toilet situation is a nightmare with people treating it like a public restroom instead of a coffee haven. The coffee’s fine, but if you’re after anything remotely special, you might want to keep looking. It's a reliable option but not exactly a caffeine adventure, more like a caffeine detour.
