About Costa Coffee

Costa Coffee is a coffee shop in Chelmsford with a drive-thru on site, set in recently built premises. The drive-thru lets drivers order without leaving the car, and inside, orders are placed at the counter. The drinks range from hot coffees to frappes and caramel lattes, and the menu includes non-dairy options. On the food side, there is a sausage bap for something savoury. Orders can also be placed on the Costa app and collected in store. Anyone who parks up at the site needs to scan a QR code at the car park.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers split on this drive-thru branch, and the most repeated complaint is rude service and wrong orders. Several describe drinks coming out incorrect: an iced caramel latte handed over without caramel, then topped up with four pumps after a staff member insisted it was already in there, and an order made with sugar after a request for none. One reviewer says a sausage bap arrived cold, and another was told a tropical mango frappe was unavailable even though it was on the menu board and still orderable on the app. One older customer complained that a second cup and an extra green tea bag would be charged, and another asked for staff to be trained on speaking politely, especially around children. A few praise friendly staff, good coffee, cakes that are always fresh, and non dairy choices, with one calling the newly built premises very nice. One reviewer calls it the most expensive Costa in the area because of the drive thru, and another notes slow service when it was not busy. One reviewer advises scanning the QR code if parking up, and that same reviewer found service fast.

    “Customer service is awful, asked for a order I get at every other Costa and she just said manger says no and then gave me a completely different order when asked for no sugar it was filled with it, very rude when I went to ask if it had no sugar”
  • Jug Sh
    “The owner really needs to train and educate Emily on how to talk nicely with customers specially when with kids. She was rude. The Costa itself is good.”
  • Lee Thompson
    “If you park up make sure to scan the QR code for the car park! Fast service”
  • Cath Littlemore
    “Nice and friendly staff but they do often get the order wrong hence only 3 stars for service. This Costa is the most expensive Costa in the area mainly due to the drive through aspect.”
  • Megan Brooker
    “Popped in on our way past. Ordered an ice caramel latte. With red milk watched the lady do green milk but that wasn’t to much of an issue. A baby chino warm. And a caramel latte. The two ladies were rude. They got the latte wrong and when asked for them to put caramel in there. They said “ it’s already in there “ we said I’m really sorry I don’t think there is. She then took the cup spilling it. Put 4 pumps in and said “ is that enough now “ it was the tone and being made to feel like an inconvenience to her. The sausage bap was also cold but because of their tone we decided not to question it. As honestly we couldn’t get out quick enough. We won’t be returning.”
