COSTA

Costa is the kind of place that’s always there when you need it, like a dependable friend who’s always down for a coffee chat. The hygiene is spotless, which is a plus, but let’s not pretend it’s anything more than a glorified chain coffee shop. The standout here seems to be the staff—especially Elona and Anastasia—who inject a bit of personality into your caffeine fix, even if they’re working under corporate constraints.

The drinks are good, and the cakes are fresh, making it a solid pit stop for a quick sugar rush. Just don’t expect culinary innovation or a unique coffee blend. If you’re looking for something that feels more artisanal, you might want to keep scrolling. But if you want a straightforward place to recharge, Costa has got you covered.
