COSTA COFFEE

Costa Coffee in Covent Garden is your typical chain; great for a quick caffeine fix but don’t expect gourmet magic. The staff here can be friendly—shoutout to Sunny—but some have apparently turned into phone zombies, more interested in scrolling than serving. If you're lucky, you’ll get a well-made flat white; if not, you might be splashing coffee on your shirt while they forget to close your lid.

It’s clean and cozy, perfect for a breather from the busy bustling streets outside. But if you’re after a relaxing sit-down with a gourmet treat, you might want to lower your standards. It’s a Costa; you know what you’re getting into. Just be prepared to deal with a bit of chaos.
