Customer Review Summary
Reviewers split on the staff, which is the pattern that shapes this listing. Several describe friendly, pleasant staff, and one calls the store clean and tidy, while others report rude service, including one who was refused a filter coffee and another who says a tray for a hot drink was not offered. Drinks draw the most criticism. One reviewer got a lukewarm, poorly blended matcha latte, another got cold coffee despite asking for extra hot, and a third found the coffee had a strange taste and was not very hot. The banana and walnut loaf was called dry, and one mentions grubby tables and leftover rubbish. A few call the store cold, soulless, or not welcoming. On the positive side, one reviewer raves about the "fake bueno" made with nut milk, another praises the cakes, and one finds the fast food good value. One reviewer, who had gone for the matcha latte, noted it cost more than they expected for a lukewarm drink.

“well, very expensive and the best quality so if you want some good quality you usually find a coffee shop place somewhere else”
- Ruby Mouse
“More than £5 for a poorly blended, lukewarm matcha latte. The banana and walnut (?) loaf had already been sliced and was so dry I couldn't finish it. Lots of left over rubbish and grubby tables.”
- William Hoult
“Don't get a tray for your hot drink and staff are rude ,definitely sticking to Costa”
- Kellyann Burgoine
“You must try the "fake bueno" but with nut milk! Out of this world!”
- Nib
“Cold coffee even though asked for extra hot. Lackluster response and service just like the coffee - no flavour or personality, that is the coffee and staff.”
